Solved Intel Core i5-4670K & ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 questions

[p5200]

I plan to upgrade to the listed components all of the rest of the hardware has been determined to be compatible. After the components are switched out I want to verify, my approach of Win 7 Pro installation will work and if not, would someone please correct me and give me advice as to the proper approach? What my idea was after everything is hooked up and ready to install OS, I would turn on enter bios set to boot from cd, and set to AHCI since I'll be reusing my Samsung 840 120GB SSD and leave the rest of the bios set to default at that time. I'll have my Logitech model 520 wireless keyboard with the model 310 wireless mouse which came together. Does this approach seem like it should work especially the wireless keyboard/mouse? I could sure use some corrections for the proper way of installing the OS if not, it would sure be appreciated Thanks!

you might run into some issues with using a wireless mouse and keyboard on install... do you have a spare USB or PS2 keyboard?

I wondered about the mouse and keyboard because I have ran into trouble installing win xp before like that but, wasn't sure about win 7. I do, have an extra USB mouse and keyboard so I may just use them for the install to be on the safe side unless, someone can verify the wireless components will work before I start the job the motherboard will be here next week. Thanks!

hi p5200. i'm pretty confident the wireless keyboard and mouse will not work on installation as the drivers will not be installed causing communication issues.

My Microsft Wireless v3000 keyboard ran fine after installing Windows 7. There should be at least a basic driver in Windows 7 that will recognise a wireless keyboard, you'll just have to update dedicated drivers if certain special keys aren't working.
