Added a different Motherboard as i probably didn't need the z97, is this better?

We love you Ukraine
The only thing I'd change is to up the cooler to the triple copper heatpipe as the standard coolers are very inefficient and loud... other than that I wouldn't change a thing, it's spot on.

Thanks for the reply, i will look into it although my last pc was also from here and it seemed fine without the copper heatpipe, will this be able to run most games on 1080p max settings? also is the second post better for the price?

Looks good but as spidertracks mentioned, I would still go for the triple copper heatpipe. Standard Intel CPU coolers are not very well rated online and difficult to compare with your previous spec since it is a different CPU.

the two specs i posted are both the same CPU's? the only difference is the Mobo but i was just wondering if it will be fine or will it bottleneck my CPU/GPU?

Sorry I misunderstood. Though you meant your previous order (apu CPU)

oh no, i was just asking to compare the two builds i have posted here :) they're both the same near enough except the Mobo, the current build i have was a major budget build so no where near able to compare, would like some input on the Mobo though as if i can get away with the second option with no real downside then that would save some money
