System configuration based on the new Intel Haswell

There appeared new processors from Intel, it is about Intel Haswell family that brings a lot of the improvement, especially for mobile devices today but we'll talk about desktop processors and will set up a system based on the latter.
Desktop we first phase few processors i5 and i7 most iefine not yet occurred, these were launched have 2 or 4 cores with Hyper-Threading or without, with turbo boost or without, all Intel Haswell had VRM included and much better graphics than previous generations.
With an Intel Haswell will have to take a new motherboard socket 1150, 1155 socket motherboards with the Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processors are not compatible with Intel Haswell.
Below is configured tutorial system.
Intel® CoreTM i5-4430, 3.0GHz, Haswell Socket 1150, Box
ASRock B85 PRO4, Socket 1150
Dual Channel Kit Kingston 8GB (2 x 4096MB) DDR3, 1600MHz
Flash SSD Kingston V300 2.5 ″, 120GB, SATA 3
Source Seasonic SS-S12II-620 Bronze 620GB, 620W
Genesis Housing Floston ATX Midi Tower without power, Black
Gigabyte GeForce video card GTX660, 2GB, GDDR5, DVI, HDMI, PCI-E
Of course, you can use many of the components you have: DDR3 memory, hard disk casing, power, video card, etc. You should know that the system is not working with DDR memories or DDR2.

  • Cristi, I saw the blogger supports HTML! For example, advertisements on Emag.ro, blogger can earn money without having to buy and host field?

  • Of new generation processors will occur when the laptop? I was thinking to change my laptop which has the first generation of i3 with something new. Now I'm not sure what's more profitable to try. I think that if this process occurred 4 generation to the previous generation will gradually start to decline in price.
    Worth buying a Haswell (value for money)?

    No more greedy, if you take a domain and a hosting of a thousand times more benefits.
    Blogger is good if you do not want to win or you want to keep there just a personal blog.
    With membership you can earn pennies unless you have many visitors.

    • Thanks for the reply Cristi! And I wanted to ask you if you can do a tutorial on buying domain sites and server, but other than those presented in the tutorial made for you!

    In the next period will begin to appear and portable devices: ultrabook, notebook, tablet, convertible and maybe some phones equipped with Intel Haswell.
    I'll make a tutorial and about portables based on these new processors.

  • Florin: Lead times that maximum resolutely game

    It runs any game at a guaranteed 1920x1080 resolution, now and about 2 years from now.
    Condition is to use dedicated video card recommended tutorial or something equivalent.
    Integrated graphics processor (HD 4600) can lead but she can not compare with GTX660 dedicated video card.

  • Beautifully finished Cristi me baby I showed this video and now I have to buy her a PC I really like promised to buy but I thought it would be cheaper in fine even listen to any 5 years that Daddy does not go this game . Anyway thank you for this tutorial.

  • Cristi, this system is for gaming ... because it doesn't cost such an expensive "home use" system (31.000 lei) :))

  • Cristi, you say that it boots with an extremely fast SSD, but I contradict you, I have an SSD just like your red Corsair 60gb and it takes about 1 minute to load, I only say that since I press the POWER button in the cold, there are only 10 sec until the AMI bios (UEFI) appears, which is UEFI and lights up in 10 sec, the UEFI AMI bios stays on the screen and if I put a pentium 3 and it boots faster, don't wait 7 hours until those with the details on the BIOS disappear. The board that has many bugs is ASUS p8P67 not only to hear about it, not you win8 drivers, not you fast boot cica 5 sec Cristi let's be serious your laptop booted instantly, and a desktop only 1-2 minutes with SSD or not only there in the bios stays 5-10 sec and after loading it thinks 7 hours it takes. I started yesterday my former PC a core 2 duo with 500gb hdd and I want to say that it booted much faster than with SSD and UEFI and all that crap, the more they remove these cards the more bugs, you hear 2666mhz at These pfff memories have not been tested in a thousand years like old hardware made of quality tested to the bone. So, I couldn't believe that in 30-40 seconds the core 2 duo was loaded, and I stay at Sandy for 7 hours.
