i5 and compatible mobo with wifi*

[wizdumb]

i am currently looking at upgrading my pc and my 1st step is cpu and mobo

looking for
1) i5 preferably a 3570K

2) motherboard that is compatible with the cpu, and if at all possible has built-in wifi, maybe a ASUS P8Z77-V (or anything similar

*3) depending on what the above comes, also 8gb of ddr3 ram (cheapest option)

If you plan to overclock: 3570K
If you don't plan to overclock: 3470

2) motherboard that is compatible with the cpu, and if at all possible has built-in wifi, maybe a ASUS P8Z77-V (or anything similar

*3) depending on what the above comes, also 8gb of ddr3 ram (cheapest option)

If you want or have an ITX case: GIGABYTE GA-H77N-WIFI or ASRock Z77E-ITX. I'll pick ASRock in this case.

ASUS P8Z77-V is a good option if you don't want an ITX mobo.

Rebeltech had a Gigabyte Z77-UD3H motherboard with WiFi a while ago. Try and find another supplier with this board.

3) RAM: Value - ADATA AXDU1333GW8G9-1G, 8GB, DDR3 1333MHz

Rather go for: G.Skill F3-1600C9D-8GAB, Ares

All the parts will be compatible. Don't know what other components you have, but these are all compatible. ITX is basically very small and compact motherboards, excellent for HTPC.
