Whoa! just Whoa!

Intel Core i3-4150 - Core i3 4th Gen Haswell Dual-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 54W Intel HD Graphics 4400 Desktop Processor - BX80646I34150
Intel Core i3-4150 - Core i3 4th Gen Haswell Dual-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 54W Intel HD Graphics 4400 Desktop Processor - BX80646I34150

Pros: As title says *Whoa!* the i3 4150 is just a beast! joined with a EVGA GTX 750 Ti , 8GB DDR3 and you can play anything (at this moment this current Gen. base games) despite the i3 being ONLY a Dual-Core base processor (the hyper-threading helps in this department) On stock cooling the i3 4150 runs cool @28-33C on Idle and i ran Prime95 and got a Max temp of 70-72C and the max temp threshold is 75C i believe. still really impressed

Cons: can't overclock but i knew that already

Overall Review: Specs: Cooler Master Elite 110 ASRock B85M-iTX Intel i3 4150 EVGA GTX 750 Ti 2GB G.Skill 8GB Sniper Series 1600 WD Blue 1TB (OS) Seagate 1TB (Storage) Rosewill Hive 550W Modular ExternalUSB CD/DVD combo Drive

Awesome!!! Mobo

Pros: -Cool look -Nice NB Heatsink (Keeps it cool) -Supports the new AM3 CPUs!!! -Nice overclocking options

Cons: -BIOS took time to learn but not too long. it's easy -Switcher for Crossfire. Switch to 16X or 8X+8X for two Cards

Overall Review: Board booted up without any problems. Downloaded Drivers through Website and everything went smooth for the Installation. Didn't update the BIOS as i don't need to (Only adds the Quick Boot Feature and a Fix for something that's not that important really).
