• Sub-£900 Haswell OCable mATX build, anything I can do to improve this partslist?
    5 replies, posted
My parents are going to pay for this build form my 18th birthday, they've told me to not worry much about the price but I'm still hoping to keep to at least sub £900.

You need a z87 motherboard to overclock. If you do not plan on overclocking get the i5 4670.

If I were you, I would move up to Haswell (4670k + z87 pro4-m), it's just more performance for slightly more cost.
