As some of you know I built a new PC. After much debate, compromise and some really great advise from some of the members. I chose the I7 4790k for the cpu...and don't regret it one bit so far! I also chose 8gb of 1866 G.SKILL Ripjaws X memory. So far this was another good choice. I went with a GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK MB. It recognized everything at boot up with no hiccups. Instead of a ssd, I got a really good deal on a Western Digital WD VelociRaptor. I had one of these a few years back, and have to say its dang fast. Finally I went with a cooler master 212 evo. Personally, I'm not so happy with it. It seems to cool the cpu fine (4.4ghz) but the way it installs is...well nuts. I will most likely replace it after some more testing.
I have not OCed anything yet, as I'm still testing. I did manage to play a couple of games and have seen a huge improvement from my x58 (i7 975) system.
Just would like to thank everyone for the help.
