First Build New Haswell

[xAshes]

It says in the box of specifications that it isnt haswell compatible however as the xfx website says that they are so I think it should be okay. Even if it isn't compatible, I guess i could just disable that feature.

I think it probably just means that they haven't checked it for compatibility yet.

im opting for the msi z87 g45 for my haswell 4770K build, I thought it seemed a good purchase don't want wireless and paired it with an msi gtx770 so I think it will work well.

Okay I think i've decided on all the components I need but I would like some help with cables and things which I'd need for the build. Do I need to buy additional cables for anything or extra parts? Thanks for any help you can give as im finding it hard to see what actually comes with all of the items.

[Willzzz]

Any cables you need should be included, everything you need should be included really.

Okay thanks, just being a bit paranoid that i'd start building it and realize that I don't have something that I need.

You can just go for an i5 and buy a better graphic card if your
making a gaming rig
