Computer Help (i7-2600 vs. i5-4440)

The I5 4670K is overclockable, but you would need a different motherboard to overclock, like the one I suggested initially. Just to make sure you're aware of that

Or is there a cheaper motherboard that the 4670K can overclock on?

Ah, ok. Thanks! Should I get the 4590S with the H81 or the 4670K with the Z97?

 

If you know for a fact you won't be overclocking, ever, then 4590S + H81

Not at MC apparently. There's one for $96 at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128715

Great, thanks :) I won't be overclocking so I'll be getting the 4590S+H81 with this video card : http://www.microcenter.com/product/430093/VCGGTX7501XPB_NVIDIA_GeForce_GTX750_1024MB_GDDR5_PCIex16

Get this PSU for a bit more futureproofing maybe

Got it! Also, for the 4590S, it runs at the clock speed of 3.0GHZ. It said it can overclock to 3.7GHZ, so will it be able to do that on the H81?

Another question : For the operating system, do I just buy a copy of Windows 7 home premium and insert it into the disk on startup?

Ok, 3.0GHz is the base speed. 3.7 is Turbo speed. Turbo speeds up some cores depending on a number of factors (number of cores in use, TDP and temperatures)

That H81 board supports turbo, but now that you mention it (sorry I missed this) The 4590S runs 400MHz slower than the 4670K.

 

Whether it's worth another $20 or not, I'll leave that up to you

Yeah, well. You'll need a CD/DVD reader too

Thanks for the processor info, I'll just stick with the 4590S.

 

For the DVD reader, would this work? http://www.microcenter.com/product/406772/BC-12B1ST_16x_DVD%C2%B1RW_Burner-12x_BD_Reader_Internal_Drive

It will work, but it's a bit pricey. Do you really need/want Blue-Ray support?

Yeah, blu ray is not needed so I'll go for that one. I decided to purchase the stuff from amazon, so do you think what I have here is good?

Pick this CPU instead, cheaper and faster

Would I need any extra items beside the others, such as a network adapter, sound card etc? Thanks for everything!

There's a LAN adapter and a sound card integrated in the motherboard, so no need to get those separately

 

...and get this RAM kit. It's a bit better to populate both slots

Thanks for the advice ;) I found a website called pcpartpicker.com, and it showed me where to get the parts:
