June 20, 201411 yr Author 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?
June 20, 201411 yr 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 Or is there a cheaper motherboard that the 4670K can overclock on? Not at MC apparently. There's one for $96 at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128715

June 20, 201411 yr Get this PSU for a bit more futureproofing maybe http://www.microcenter.com/product/399981/Builder_Series_CX500_500_Watt_ATX_12V_Power_Supply

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?

June 20, 201411 yr 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? 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 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? Yeah, well. You'll need a CD/DVD reader too

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

I decided to purchase the stuff from amazon, so do you think what I have here is good? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUAFAF6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2NG4HB43UEDVL http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0092ML0MY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PUEPK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J6F5LHM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJNQ9FY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009GXZ8MM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2NG4HB43UEDVL http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F42W70A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H09BB16/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YG8X9Y/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
June 20, 201411 yr Pick this CPU instead, cheaper and faster http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4590-1150-BX80646I54590/dp/B00J2LIFBY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=11GFB7J8XW9GD1V0JQRF

June 20, 201411 yr 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 http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Modules-1600MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop/dp/B0057Q4ADU/ref=psdc8_t2_B0037TO5C0_B0057Q4ADU
