    Re: i3 or i5 cpu

    With a Z97 you can have 'any' Haswell CPU. Would strongly recommend a second hand CPU (same performance for less money or more performance for the same money).
    i5 in this case (CeX or eBay are your bestest friends).

    EDIT:
    i5 from CeX: i5 4430 for £110 i5 4440 for £125 or i5 4460 for £130.

    i5 from eBay: i5 4460 for £100 (BiN) or various i5 CPUs in auction between £80 and £120.
