« on: January 08, 2014, 02:51:19 PM »better video card, better cpu, better hard drive (at the expense of an ssd but the changes outweigh it). plus the cpu is part of the newer lga 1150 series so he will be able to upgrade it from the haswell line to the broadwell line in a few years, while with your pick he'll be stuck with the sandy bridge since its the last line of the lga 1155 cpus
The CPU is equal to a 3570k.
The hard drive is not needed for simple gaming storage. The black series hard drives are overkill for the average user.
You chose an H87 board but obviously made it with overclocking in mind, even though the H87 doesn't overclock.
That motherboard would die 3 years--you'd have to buy a new one, while with the Asus board I chose you'd be able to sell/trade on /r/hardwareswap or something cause it's, you know, any quality at all?
