Advice needed on GA-H87N Wifi and Intel I7 4770

[lovan6]

I am planning to build a new Haswell rig this year and I need some advice. Currently I will be moving some of my parts to a new rig.

This is my current setup:

Intel i5 3470, Gigabyte GA-Z77N-wifi, 16 Gig Gskill Ripjaw DDR3 1600, 256 Samsung 840 pro, western Digital black 2 tb, Evga GTX 660, Atheros 9280 mini wifi, Apple Bluetooth, Apple Infrared, Corsair H60, Silverstone FT03 Mini, Silverstone sfx power supply, Dell U2713HM connected via display port, Apple wireless keyboard, Apple trackpad, Apple Wireless mouse.

I plan to buy GA-H87N wifi and Intel i7 4770 and Evga gtx660 instead of GA-Z87N wifi and Intel i7 4770K. I do not intend to overclock and save some money.

Looks OK to me assuming you are just swapping out mainboard and CPU. Not sure why you plan to buy another 660 of same brand - is yours going bad?

Apple Bluetooth and Apple Infrared? Is this something you did a mod on and installed to a USB header on your GA-Z77N?

It's supposed to be an EVGA GTX 760 instead of 660. The 660 run fine on my system no problem. Yes the Apple bluetooth and infrared was sourced out from a used Macbook and Macbook pro plus a Dual 3.3V 2.5V DC-DC Step-down Converter module regulator that i purchased from Ebay and plug to motherboard USB header.
