for the i5 4430 what is the diff with i5 4670?
does it cost much if i get the msi b85 gaming board? prefer to looks of it.

power supply fsp and seasonic which will be more reliable?because heard that power supply better not save and get a cheap one. was actually looking at m12 520w/620w

1. i5 4670 clocked 0.4Ghz higher than 4430. Really marginal real world difference in terms of performance.

2. Combo with MSI B85-G43 Gaming at $372 (can just check price list you know ). Up to preference of distro and brand but both boards are similar in features.

3. FSP is a just as reliable brand and a 80+ Gold efficiency is better than the 80+ Bronze on those two Seasonic models. More bang for buck!

4570 will be enough ba... The 4670 clock speed diff wont do much of a difference in gaming and you are paying more for it too. For psu seasonic, superflower are good and corsair psu are good too but they are slightly more pricey iirc
