This was exactly my question. It seemed backwards the 1150 is newer than 1155.

I've got a Microcenter nearby, so the CPU price should be better. I had my eye on getting the 3570k, but 4670k looks just as good pricewise($189 vs. $199) with perhaps some additional heat output. I'll have to do some research on any slight overclocking potential between the two.


I really liked the case suggestion, then I saw the larger define R4. I'm sold on that case.

Did I miss any discussion of the new closed loop watercooling devices available? Is this something a first time builder should stay away from?

Ivy bridge will OC better, but you will see better performance from haswell clock for clock.

Excellent case choice. I'd also recommend the fractal arc midi r2 as well since it's cheaper and better fitting for all-in-one water coolers (and watercooling in general)
