i3 4170 BOX, Haswell
ASRock Z97 PRO4 LGA1150 ATX
?

i3 Won't do too good for Arma 3 I think... It's a buget CPU for a reason.
Re: New mobo+CPU - Alwarren - 06-05-2015
Agreed, I would go i5 as a minimum
Re: New mobo+CPU - Outlawz7 - 06-05-2015
Core i5 4460 BOX ?
Re: New mobo+CPU - McGregor - 06-05-2015
A quick comparison put along side my 2500k the 4460 is a little better. But it should be mentioned that I have mine running at 4.8Ghz. All and all I think it looks like pretty good value for money if you really need a processor NOW. If you don't then I would wait for newer models.

Ideally get i5-4690K, it has 4 cores, 3.5GHz, turbo 3.9GHz, best value for the money and it is 50 eur more expensive than 4460 (better board graphics if you ever need it for backup in case discrete GPU fails).
Re: New mobo+CPU - Outlawz7 - 06-07-2015
ASRock Z97 PRO4 or Asus Z97-P?
Re: New mobo+CPU - Watchmen - 06-08-2015
The one with better features: onboard sound and usb/sata ports
Re: New mobo+CPU - Misha - 06-08-2015
I couldn't find any meaningful difference between them. Get cheaper one or get Asus, they always make good quality stuff.

Seconded. I'm a fan of Asus, and usually buy my stuff from them.
Re: New mobo+CPU - doveman - 06-09-2015
+1. I've done three builds with Asus Z97 boards in the last year and had no problems. Asrock do make some good boards but they also make some not so good ones with corners cut, so you need to research more thoroughly before buying Asrock.

Installed Core i5 4690 and Asus Z97-P with GTX 770. There was a slight mess with the mobo and HDD and I ended up reinstalling Windows without reformatting, so all my files are still in place, but now I gotta do the Windows Update/reinstall all my stuff routine.
