Thanks
is the CM hyper 101 good enough for the processor,and I will be using the HDD from my older rig.
I was reading through some of the other threads and wondering would it be beneficial to go for the Asus h87 Pro @ 10K

The OP has already mentioned that he has a HDD. I would suggest that he saves money and buys a 250/256GB SSD 840 EVO/PRO.. they are slightly faster compared to a 128gb ssd..

Dude the 840 250GB has really slow write speeds because of the TLC NAND and also lower life.. I would suggest 840 pro 256GB @ 15.5k instead which has much better speeds and life because of the MLC NAND..the extra price is really worth it..

Thank everyone for the options...
Just a question, when it comes to SSD I am a total noob.
How important is it to a machines performance, my main work will be Virtualization Lab builds and testing, and then some gaming and then slowly get back into image editing work (hobby).
I am not at all that into faster boot/load up time. Will a SSD be a good option for my virtualization work or is it better to invest the money into a overclockable build with a i7 4770K and Z87 Board ( will make this system a bit more future proof), if I overclock it will be only when I require it not because I can do it.

Op when you say gaming,what kind of gaming do you mean?Because if you are a hardcore gamer i would suggest selling the 7790 and buying a better graphics card.

@NiGHtfurY
Well most these days I have been playing League of lengends ( getting stable 45 FPs on low settings)
And older games like COD 4, FIFA 12 HAWZ (darn I have not played the new games :cry:).

Dont laugh but my current system is ( bought march 2006 : she has been a absolute performer)
P4 3.06 GHz (HT) ( 32 bit) (VMware doesnt even support it )
Intel G945 Board
RAM DDR2 4 GB
HD7790
1 Tb drive
Orgiginal Cabbie and 450 watt SMPS ( I have not hooked up the 850 TX)
Dell 18.5 inch HD

And that is one reason I know im leaning towards Intel, my PC from 1998 (Pentium I) stills boots my PIII coppermine from 2001 still boots. I know AMD is more vale for money.

the thing is my monitor maxes out at 1366x768 I believe, buying a better card will be useless unless i go for a monitor, So I wan to do that mid 2014 not just now, as the requirement is more immediate towards work.
