    Help needed

    Hey guys, im in the process of updating my mobo and cpu. Budget is around 300e for both and currently these are the ones im eyeing.

    Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP

    Intel Ivy Bridge i5-3550, LGA1155, 3.3GHz, 6MB

    My current memory is khx1600c9d3b1k2/8gx and its not on the qvl, but i assume its gonna work, right?

    Is the setup good or is there better ones at around 300e at the moment or coming soon.

    Thanks in advance.

    AsRock Z97 Pro3, LGA1150, Intel Z97, DDR3, ATX

    Intel Haswell i5-4690K, LGA1150, 3.5GHz, 6MB
