    What you guys think of this?
    I like the choices. I would also get the Z87-Pro form Amazon.ca too though, much better customer service and retrun policy if needed. http://www.amazon.ca/Asus-Z87-PRO-In...s=ASUS+Z87-PRO

    If you were looking to use the rebate on Newegg.ca, you can use it on the purchase from Amazon, it's form ASUS directly.


    Minimum 500W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 30A is needed for the GPU.

    Your budget of $1000 looks a bit low for what is turning out to be a high end system. Your CPU and graphics card alone comes to $620. In addition to the mobo and RAM do you need to buy all the other bits; case, psu, OS, monitor, keyboard/mouse.
    I agree with the others and like my older ASUS motherboard. Depending on what you plan to do I'd consider a PSU larger than 500W especially if you may get a 2nd graphics card at some stage.

    Yes sir. That is why I will buy all these parts at amazon. Will you recommend any PSU?

    I agree with the others and like my older ASUS motherboard. If you need to trim costs you could consider an i5-4670k and even an AsRock mother board.
    I don't need to buy OS, monitor, keyboard/mouse. I still need to buy PSU, RAM, HDD, and Case

    You can dimension your PSU using
    eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
    then add a bit.
    I'd go for a good name brand eg. Seasonic, Antec, Corsair...not a cheapie.

    I think it's best to check the case specs with the PSU dimensions. But I'd be surprised if a good name brand case didn't support the popular name brand PSUs. Others may know more.
    Also I would go for a good brand case. Look at the ability to tidy up your wiring when using non modular PSUs (all the PSU wiring comes out of the PSU). Look at the fans supplied and those that can be fitted after. Check that the case dimensions fit your CPU cooler. You probably want to have USB3 ports on the front of the case. etc etc. The case manufacturer websites will give all this info.

    If the case is an ATX it will fit an ATX PSU. The PSU may have some spec like ATC ver 2.01 but the physical size is the same, the version number would indicate the cables included.

    Thanks Guys. One more question. Is there anyway I can install Windows when I don't have optical drive? Which case is better the cooler master or azza cases?

    This will tell you how to use a bootable USB stick. It's how I've done my last few fresh installs, it runs a bit quicker that from a DVD too.

    USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create

    I personally give a nod to Cooler Master cases in general, more well know, decent support. I no nothing about Azza though.
