Hi TS, you could use an android apps call wifi analyzer to test your wifi strength at your room. so is to decide whether to use wifi or PWL.

i7 no point, higher clockspeed and hyperthreading which you wont really use.

Will it helps on HD video decoding/ watching HD movies? Or just need a powerful graphic card?

Thanks for all ur advice bro.

Now just deciding on mobo. Should i get asus z97 pro wifi to get onboard wifi? What about asus maximus vii hero. Looks damn cool haha... If anyone can recommend me the best mobo for i5-4690k it would be greatly appreciated

Expensive leh.

If you want the features, by all means and go ahead. No one will fault you. Of course need to pay quite a bit of premium. There is no 'best board'; only feature rich ones and ones that are more basic. Almost all boards perform equally (+/- 5% performance difference, but may be attributed to uncertainty)

Whats you needs?

Do you wish to overclock your cpu? Do you need to go multi gpu configs? Do you need raid setup? Do you need all those weird features that you will use?

All this most people an average joe whom just enter diy scene will probably not use it at all.

Thats the reason why we recommended you a b85 or at most a h97 chipset.

You dont need to run such a high end mobo when you are not gonna use all the features of it.

Next is build in wifi does not mean that the mobo have a some sought of special wifi card soldered into the board.

Its actually they just add in a wifi card and they call it build in. Think again.

One can buy a regular card and just install it yourself. And save even more than their gimmick build in wifi.

agreed with roy... you don't need high end mobo just for gaming purpose

without using other features... spend on other thing...
