I still need help with the motherboard... I want to buy this one: http://www.steg-electronics.ch/de/article/asus-p8z77-v-896458.aspx , but im not sure if its worth its money since it also has another one thats much cheaper...

http://www.steg-electronics.ch/de/article/asus-p8z77-v-lx-864793.aspx

I dont really see the difference between the LX and the one above... which one should i pick?

I would like to keep the Z77 but I just dont know wich motherboard to pick... if u could show me one on either: www.digitec.ch or http://www.steg-electronics.ch/de/Default.aspx

Thanks:) Help is really appreciated

Get the i5 3570k, higher speed ram, an SSD, and preferably a nvidia gpu

edit: oh and get the cheapest motherboard you can get with the features you need
edit2: and for the monitor, get the Benq XL2420T

I dont need ssd... isnt an i5 2500k suffisant since im not going to do video editing stuff?

why would I take an nvidia gpu instead of an ati? is the gtx 560 ti better than the 7950?

u cannot get anything better or comparable to 7950 for that price range.

the ivy bridge is at the same price, so why not going for it?

Go for i5 3750k.

That PSU looks shit. You should pick up SeaSonic PSU.

And first of all, everything starts on motherboard, it is the first thing to pick up, otherwise you end up non-starting PC.

Give the budget, because these components have no balance and overprized.
