I'm looking into swapping the CPU out to potentially a i5-4690 @ 3.5GHz (url=http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690k]link[/url], would that be a better option? :yus:

Also, I was only going on the reviews on PC part picker, as the Kingston SSDNow has more 5* ratings than the Samsung, however I have more faith in Samsung products, so I'll probably go for that. HDD really doesn't bother me as long as it works lol, only going to have games and files :p.

I was told that mobo would be better to have, ready for any upgrades in the future.. So I'm happy with that choice (I've already ordered it anyway)

Also on topic of overclocking, it doesn't particularly bother me all too much. Also I'll probably look into some upgrades by Summer time next year, so the CPU could be to only last me 6-8 months, however if it performs well for me then I may not bother upgrading anyway.

Anyway I appreciate the comments and thanks for the input, I've taken it all on board and will keep it in mind when ordering other parts or the build :noh:

For the price difference of those processors, yes it's a better option. It will have more reviews as it's a budget SSD, thus more people buy it. It's not a bad SSD obviously, but you originally had a 850 EVO on there so I don't like when people go backwards. :hurr:

It is a better motherboard to have, I wasn't saying it isn't. However going up the price chain of motherboards when you have no intent of overclocking or using any of it's features, it becomes pointless to do so.

I'll probably get the Samsung SSD in the end anyway.. Also someone on here commented that the mobo was weak etc. So I decided to upgrade it and with this mobo, it gives me many different options for the future. Which is nice .

The people on here also think DDR5 exists and that DDR3was here in 1995. :hurr:

Anyway, sure.You should look for Gigabyte/MSI/ASUS boards in the future though, they tend to have more features for a decent price as well as build quality.
