hey bros im looking to have a CPU for less than 1.5k and is optimised for gaming purposes.best is if can lower abit.
I did abit of research and what i've been eyeing on some components

What i have in mind:
- i5 haswell processor 4670(k)
- MSI z87 G45(qualms about this since i unsure on how to overclock or even find a need to. looks futureproof to me,would be nice if bros out there can find a more suitable motherboard for me x.x)
-samsung 840 evo SSD 120gb
-WDCaviarBlack 1TB

im still looking around for RAM(looking for 8GB),casing(preferably stylish to match my gaming peripherals :p),PSU,and i decent graphics card that is futureproof(willing to spend extra for both durability and performance)

P.S : no need for ODD since i have an external one le

thanks for the read and opinions!:D

K cpu + z87 + no need for overclocking = waste of money

But then it's yours anyway

any recommendations for a moniter(preferably below prices of $300) that is good for playing games. i heard lower response time in a moniter is great for playing games is that true?

Dell S2340L (glossy) or U2312HM (matte). Best to head down to the shops to see for yourself which you prefer - glossy tends to have colours that pop out more but have very reflective surface.

Honestly at 8ms response times, ghosting is really negligible. It might be true if you're upgrading from CRT to LCD era monitors, but imo you can't really tell at this response time.
