RE: is my rig going to cut it? - GUY2911 - 04-03-2014
now, like i said, I'm only wanting to emulate Gamecube games, I'm not into emulating wiis, i already have one. i have a gamecube too, i just would like the higher resolution
and i found the intel i5-4570 on amazon for 189.99 and free shipping so if thats an option i would really like to get it

Well, do you already have an LGA 1150 motherboard? If not, you need to get one.
RE: is my rig going to cut it? - GUY2911 - 04-03-2014
I dont have anything yet, im starting completely from scratch, i just have items in my cart. i have a LGA 1150 socket mobo in my cart already.

Okay, just remember that you do not need a Z87 mobo if you don't get a K-model CPU, and it's wasteful to get a K-model CPU if not with a Z87 mobo (note: numbers for haswell).
RE: is my rig going to cut it? - GUY2911 - 04-03-2014
ok, here's the link to my mobo im wanting http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D12OASW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
will this work?
RE: is my rig going to cut it? - kinkinkijkin - 04-03-2014
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: It's an MSI budget board, so it's not going to be GREAT (or, really, top-safety), but it's fine.
See if you can find it for cheaper on a website like Newegg, though. Amazon likes hiking prices.
RE: is my rig going to cut it? - GUY2911 - 04-03-2014
ok its the same price as amazon. Would you know if the SATA cables will be provided? or is that something ill need to buy separately?
RE: is my rig going to cut it? - kinkinkijkin - 04-03-2014
MSI always provides SATA cables with their motherboards, as far as I know. Not entirely sure, but I'm almost sure.

If you're sure you won't ever think of overclocking, you could save 20-30 bucks with the 4570. I would get the 4670K though. Here's a combo deal on newegg for $405.89 that has the 4670K, Z87 board, and 8GB of ram.

the 4670k is 229$ and the 4570 is 189$ thats a big enough difference to change my mind about the 4670k. and that price bundle is really expensive. i already have the ram and mobo i want.
