Haswell is sort of disappointing. Even so, I guess this is a good time to buy a new computer with one of those. It's not like I was planning on a huge overclock anyway and the lower power consumption will definitely be useful in the long run. (Though if the newest Ivybridge chips are significantly better overlockers those could be worth it?)

This computer is looking to cost around 1000 euros, hopefully it will last for over 5 years.

I've also read somewhere those alternative BCLK straps are all not available on the normal CPUs, only 100 MHz, so no serious overclocking without the "k" CPUs.

So yeah, no VT-d / TXT / vPro (as before), no TSX, no GT3e or even GT3 graphics on the K suffix versions.

Any news on the amount of wiggling around possible with clock speeds without K? If you can get say 110 MHz BCLK on some boards with non-K, that's up to a 4.40-4.62 GHz overclock possible on a plain i5-4670 if it's +4 multiplier bins allowed.

I think toms and Anandtech stated that you still can't change BCLK on the non K processors, so meh. Haha.

ULV Haswell is launching on the first day of Computex, isn't it?

Hey guys, planning on building my own computer over the course of a month or so, could use your help one what parts to buy and imput on everything, as Im not a genius with this stuff


What is your budget?
No real budget but aiming for 800$ or so.

What is your resolution?
1600x900, Subject to change though as I want to eventually buy a newer monitor


What are you using it for?
Moderate Gaming (guild wars 2, Starcraft 2 mainly), photoshop mostly, with eventually a lot of photoshop


What is your upgrade cycle?
probably 3-4 years

When do you plan on building it?
As soon as possible? I'll be buying parts in waves as i'll never be able to afford them all at once.

Do you plan on overclocking?
If need be

Do you need an Operating System?
yes.

Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire?
If needed or recommended.

Where are you buying your parts from?
Newegg.ca or Tigerdirect.ca

Is there a particular reason why you want to buy from Newegg or Tigerdirect as opposed to a Canadian retailer? Both of these retailers don't offer pricematching and Newegg is going to be expensive if you are purchasing in batches since its American.

Pricing constantly change so to purchase your parts over time, you sort of need knowledge of parts. What is a good purchase now may not be a good purchase tomorrow.

Only areas I know of that I can purchase things, I live in London ontario so Idk any good retailers aside from overly priced bestbuy and futureshop. Price is not really an issue for anything and It's only going to be over the span of this month, so half in 1 week other half in 3 weeks or so. I'm sitting on a not so great computer now, so an upgrade is needed even if its not 100% all top of the line or whatever. Just something to get me through for a couple of years as this one probably won't last much longer.

There's NCIX, Memory Express, Canada Computers, etc.

NCIX has sales every week that start / end on Wednesday so if you're not buying until next week then ask again next week. Nothing great on sale right now anyways.

It still depends on motherboard pricing and how much retailers will jack up the price.

relevant for anyone looking to purchase Haswell: http://www.tigerdirect.com/sectors/campaigns/intel/haswell/prelaunch.asp?cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot 01d-_-CatId_promo_intelHaswell_1days

Oh cool, thanks. Is it reasonable to expect the revealed (or most of them) motherboards to be available on day 1 as well? I keep seeing them launching "this week" but not necessarily on the same day. Are they going to launch after?

Yes, lots of motherboards are typically available on day one which apparently is tomorrow.

There's also the motherboards. They'll be super pricey, I bet.

They are. MSI G43 is $120, ASUS A is $140 I think and C is $150 or was it the other way around? Asrock Extreme3 is $140.

i7-3770k and i5-3570k were $350 and $250 at launch too:
http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16819116501?locale=US
http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16819116504?locale=US

MSI G41 looks much less anemic this time, and that's $110.

I wonder about voltage and other settings on these cheap boards, as it's not like they've got to spend extra on a better controller or implement certain things to expose features the FIVR is capable of... right? Or things still locked down for product segmentation?

Was thinking about the Gigabyte G1 Sniper M5 at 200$ and an i5-4670k, but it's just a tad more expensive than I was hoping. I'd probably push it as far as I can if I get a good chip, although I'd be happy with I think 4.7 if I can manage it. Is the sniper an okay choice?

How important is the special audio codec in it? I'd like good sound quality, and I think it would definitely be worth it if I can avoid a sound card.

Other options would be Z87-MX-D3H at 125$ or the Extreme4 at 145$. Would this be good enough to possibly get what I was hoping for, or no? And it seems like the Creative core Sound3D Core or whatever it's called is used on their actual sound cards as well...
