So as the title says, i?m upgrading my rig, i need a new CPU and MOBO, the choice for a CPU stands between an i5( http://www.proshop.dk/CPU/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-Haswell-Box-2404672.html ) or an i7( http://www.proshop.dk/CPU/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Haswell-Box-2404669.html# ) as for a motherboard, could someone point me in the right direction, ill be using this site for all the purchasing: http://www.proshop.dk/Bundkort.htm it?s in Danish, but it links directly to the motherboard section with the filter options visible on the left side. i might also spend some money on water cooling.
Thanks in advance

Note: i already upgraded the other parts of my PC, i have a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD ready to be installed once i get the CPU and MOBO.

Edit: i have recently upgraded the case, graphics card and RAM, so that?s all in order

Is see you can buy an ASUS Rampage Extreme IV on proshop.dk. It is an expensive mobo, but it's powerfull and versatile. I don't know if it's any good with water cooling. I personally don't use fluids in my computer.

for review see:

I like the MSI MoBo's - the IVY Bridge's:
MPower has less SATA connections, but the Z77A-GD65 has 8, 4 of them are SATA3. Good for lots of drives... you may not need so many yourself.


I intend to get one soon, and an i5 - it will take either, the i5 3570k or the i7 2600k, cost being the difference.

I suppose that you bought RAM that will be compatible with your proposed MoBo. What kind did you settle on?

BTW - go for liquid cooling for noise reduction rather than better cooling - all my talks with Poff and others led me to that conclusion. And different CPU's heat differently, in different physical locations on the chip itself.

You can overclock or not, but heat can be handled just fine with a good air cooler as well as it can be handled with some kind of liquid cooler as I understand it.
