Sadly the H97 has less USB ports, and doesn't allow SLI (for future purposes), but only CrossFire. I don't mind an extra 50$ for future references.
Works for me, But get a bigger PSU if you're gonna SLI in the future, something like a Cooler Master Silent Pro 850/1300W
Johnaudi wroteWhy 2x4GB though? Wouldn't it be easier to add more sticks in the future if all of them were 8GB sticks directly? (up to 32GB right?)
You'll benefit from
Dual Channel support which will give you more memory bandwidth, However having a single 8GB stick will be just fine, but 2 sticks vs 1 stick cost the same, so you can just get the better option.
Johnaudi wroteAlright, I'll be getting the Cooler Master Scout 2, though any idea what's its average price? And you're probably right about the Windows 8 thing, I'd just leave it at night, I thought the update was like 5-6GB.
It's on sale for 109+VAT, but I guess it'll be somewhere around 120~130+VAT on Monday without the sale.
Johnaudi wroteI was thinking of installing the OS on the SSD, for faster booting times, when I activate the Windows on the HDD will I be able to reinstall it on the SSD?
You can partition a 200GB partition just for Windows and your software as if it was an SSD, and then just clone them with software later when you buy a separate SSD. Without having to re-install it.
Johnaudi wroteI have lots of HDMI cables at home, and have an external 3.0 DVD-RW/Bluray r/w.
Works.

AvoK95 wroteOh, and Windows 8 (upgrade to 8.1 is free) and some reports say that windows 9 will be free for 8/8.1 users and it has been confirmed (I don't exactly remember how, you can just Google it)
NuclearVision wroteoh and i would get the i7-4930k.
I wouldn't
- Too expensive
- Old
- Not much benefit in games
- Whole platform is more expensive due to boards, and quad channel memory.

You really should. That would be fair, to say the least!
I should add a donation pay pal button on my posts, but I highly doubt someone will actually donate :P
