        @critialcloudkicker I've been playing Smash 3DS all day to distract myself, still kills me because my computer's case arrived first and is always in my line of sight.

              @scoot Oh, that's a pretty neat looking case.

                @zeldatra It's nice looking, but it also seems new builder friendly and wasn't extremely expensive

          @scoot *goes over it with a fine toothcomb* ... What the heck is an S version of the i5-4670 ? . And all in all it looks like an awesome selection ( you have good taste )

            @critialcloudkicker Thanks, I spent a loooong time researching the parts I wanted (while fitting it in a £700 budget)

              @scoot Heh, well actually I have myself a very similar setup. Abeit with an Asus TUF motherboard ( since motherboard are near always the first thing to die on me, having to buy a new motherboard once is more expensive than an expensive 5 year warranty MoBo ) ... and I should soon replace the re-uses 6950 ( Ati HD Radion ) I have inside of my current computer ... Also still not sure what the S means in relation to the 4670. I know I have a 4670K ( which has an unlocked multiplier... Does S mean "Special" for energy sufficient or something ?

                @critialcloudkicker I have no idea what the S stands for personally, but it has all the things I wanted. I have to cheap out on the motherboard for cost reasons. I can't afford to skimp out on the graphics and CPU, so a cheaper motherboard was required. I'll probably end up buying a better one down the line anyway

                  @scoot Still no idea what it means, but now I have verified that I guessed correct. It has a locked multiplier, but also a lower TDP and price.

                    @critialcloudkicker ... I meant... No idea what the S means, but I now know what it entails... ( Lower TDP and price )

          @scoot Looks nice. i5s are good processors.
