What do you guys think of this CPU and motherboard? https://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=92964&promoid=1051

The Gryphon's a micro ATX board, so not as many PCIe slots.
I just bought that same CPU for the old man's new machine. Gonna build it up tomorrow!

That's okay but I think you should keep an eye on PCpartpicker.com for a better deal.

my main desktop use AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor. I plan to use it for at least 3 yrs. had it for like 6+ months now. sure intel is faster but I save big using amd. maybe I don't play high intensive games but I play diablo 3 almost everyday or at least have it on almost everyday and its fine. maybe its my better graphic card.
Do you play BF4? How's it running? I feel like I'm bottle-necking with my current rig.

I'll check that out, thanks.
Tiger Direct has a 120mm case fan for free with mail-in rebate. I bought a bunch of these back in April for my PC build (although it was just the standard version without the cool LED).

Awesome; tiger direct has been giving out rebates like candy lately. I bought RAM from them recently; the total out of pocket was like $130. But there was a $20 rebate from tiger-direct and a $25 rebate from the manufacturer. So it stacked to $45. My RAM ended up being $85.
What do you guys think of this processor?

The i7s are the top tier of Intel Processors. The i7 4770K was released back in 2011, but it should still provide great performance. From what I can recall, it overheats much less when you overclock it, compared to the 5th and 6th generations of the i7. So, if you're interested in overclocking your PC, the 4770K is the processor you should go for.
It's the "newer" generation; I think. HASWELL?$300 for a processor?
Yeah. But, just go for the 4770K Sandy Bridge instead. It's $100 less, and you can use that extra cash for a good graphics card.
Gotcha. There's an i7-1770K Sandy Bridge? The taxonomy of their processors is confusing!
I got a good card already.
The i7 4770K that you posted on the previous page was Sandy Bridge. I forgot to mention, that it's the same processor that SOLIDSNAKE (Ray) uses for his super gaming machine
. Just make sure that you have a compatible motherboard for it.The i7 4770K that you posted on the previous page was Sandy Bridge. I forgot to mention, that it's the same processor that SOLIDSNAKE (Ray) uses for his super gaming machine
Yeah, ultimately, I'm going to need a new board.
Sandy bridge? I thought this was their new processor design / brand? Are you saying it's practically a re-branded "sandy bridge" ... ?
Cause I thought it just came out:

Well, Intel releases small iterations of their processors on an annual basis. Sandy Bridge was the code name for the processor line in 2011, followed by Ivy Bridge in 2012, and Haswell earlier this year. It's not a complete rebrand, but the improvements aren't very significant.
From what I remember, the newest processors have less power consumption compared to the older models.
Ohhh dammit, you're right. The 4770K is Haswell
. Sorry for the confusion man. Damn terminology is confusing.Ohhh dammit, you're right. The 4770K is Haswell
Right!? I've had 2 AMD processors. And another Intel from a long time ago.
