As always, I'd change the 670 to the ASUS or Gigabyte version for less noise.
Edit: Actually, I think I'd go with the P8Z77-M over the Z77A-G43. Either the G43's overpriced or that's a good deal for the P8Z77-M... Last edited by Vancha; 2012-07-15 at 09:47 AM. |

Sounds like Home Premium is for you.
@ Vancha that P8Z77-M is a mATX board. No reason to be getting that if he doesn't need it IMO.

No I don't think so. If you have room for an ATX that totally trumps mATX imo. I only recommend mATX if the user is on budget and needs bare minimum or wants a small form factor case.

How so? The only thing the G43 has on the P8 is an extra space between the PCI-E X16 slots, but he won't be doing SLi with that PSU anyway. The P8 has more phases, better voltage control and a better UEFI, considering his CPU*, he's not losing anything at worst, and gaining otherwise.
*I just noticed you don't have the 3770k, Cal. You're spending 280 Euros on the top of the top of the range CPU, you might as well spend another 30 to be able to make it better. Last edited by Vancha; 2012-07-15 at 10:51 AM. |

When I did this he didn't sound too interested in overclocking, so all that is pretty moot. He can change his mind of course. If he does another board he maybe better off with.

On another note, I'm going to sit down and re-look at the whole CPU deal again to see what would best suit me. With the 3770 only being better than cheaper CPU's when it comes to video editing, it might not be worth it. @Vancha, from what I read/hard I though the 3770K wasn't a very good card for OCing due to temperature issues?

That's at full load though. Most of the time they won't be quite that loud. I'm pretty sure the ASUS was the same price as the Gigabyte when I checked, but never mind. The 3770k is fine for overclocking, you just can't push it as far as say, the 2700k. You probably won't get more than an extra 5-10% out of it with the stock cooler though. |

Gigabyte: €399.00 ASUS: €413,00 Maybe you checked the prices on a different website, or maybe I'm looking at the wrong versions? While the noise difference is definitely noticeable, I really don't find it annoying enough to spend extra money on it, especially since that's at full load and out in the open. I'd probably just grab an extra/better cooler if I ended up getting an OC CPU, as I assume the stock cooler wouldn't be enough for an OC 2500K/3570K either? |

GPU: No, either I remembered wrong or they put the price up. That site has some incredibly odd pricing here and there...
CPU: Again, you'd be able to bump them up a little bit, but you'd probably hit a wall quite quickly. How often do you do video work, per week? |

Like Vancha said its up to you whether or not you can take up what is offered by HT. I don't really recommend overclocking on stock coolers due to how much the heat goes up from the increased GHz/voltage either. You can get a cheap, but good cooler like the Coolermaster Hyper 212+/EVO that you can get good clocks with.

Barely any at the moment since doing video editing on my current setup is a complete chore. I'd probably end up doing some video editing 2-5 times a month, which in all honestly probably isn't worth the extra € 100 euro that the 3770 would cost I'd reckon.

Are yo interested in overclocking then? If so just get the 3570K in my opinion otherwise a 3450 will suffice.

I was a little hesistant about that at first as I've never done it before and thought it would be difficult and dangerous, but I've heard it's really not that hard anymore, so I'd be interested in giving it a go. At the least grab a CPU with the capability of doing so, so the 3570K.
