Thanks, guys.

Don't see any problems there

Yup, they should have no problem together.

swiftblade

Thanks guys! Any reccomendations for maybe better value for money, processor wise?

The computer is being built for Photoshop/Flash/Illustrator and a bit of light gaming.

Hey,
The parts would all fit together but you have a overclocking motherboard and a non overclocking cpu selected.

If you want to overclock drop the cpu for a k version or if you dont drop the motherboard for a non overclocking chipset.

If you dont want to overclock maybe look at a Intel Haswell Xeon (socket 1150) also. Thats presuming your getting a dedicated graphics card for gaming.

The Xeon is an i7 thats just missing the igp (integrated graphics processor)

Won't be doing any overclocking.
I'll be running a GTX 650 as well(More than what I need)

This seems really cheap. http://www.dabs.ie/products/asus-p8h61-mx-usb3-s1155-intel-h61-ddr3-matx-871K.html?src=3

It's a bit basic, but it probably suits for what I want?

The one you have linked is an 1155 socket (you need socket 1150 for haswell)but yeah that type of board. After deciding if overclock/or not just look at features. And get the board that has the features your looking for eg number of usb ports, sata 3 ports for ssd etc

Something like this one should be fine, you could keep the original processor and ram linked in your first post and just change the board to this one if you dont want to spend more on the Xeon

And this: http://www.dabs.ie/products/intel-core-i5-4440-s1150-3-10ghz-6mb-8XTR.html

Mainly the board, for the 32GB option of RAM.

I assume they'll work.

EoinHef

Yeah the ones you linked there are fine,just for the sake of it heres a pic showing a few differences between the chipsets for socket 1150:

That's actually very helpful! Thanks.
