Help with configuration

[irish_man]

Hi guys,
please can you tell me will this configuration work. My old processor died and now I want to upgrade with new processor and motherboard.
The most important thing for me is the WiFi and I will appreciate any advice.
Can you please recommend me a cooler for CPU?

1. Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155
2. Gigabyte Z87 LGA 1150 CrossFireX DVI/HDMI mATX
3. GTX 550 Ti, 1GB GDDR5, PCI-E 2.0 x 16, Graphics Card
4. 6GB DDR2 ( do I need DDR3? )
5. PSU 560W

Thank you for your hard work...

No chance your current choices would work together. How could an 1155 cpu fit into
an 1150 socket ? Not possible. DDR2 ram also would not fit in the Z87 ram slots.

Look at the current Buyer's Guide for compatible builds. And you'll also need to change your
Avatar to something that's not animated per the forum rules. Thanks for asking before buying
it will save you a lot of grief in the future if you make the right choices now.

Ooops...sorry, thats wrong CPU.
This one is what I want:
Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics
And of course, like you said, I need DDR3 memory.
I've changed the avatar, sorry about that.

Tnx for helping...

Thank you

You are OK with that build. Remember to install with CPU gfx and then install the GPU after you get everything up and booting from HDD.

What??@#???
I should install graphic card only after I boot into OS X? Is that right?

Thank you very much for the tip....I had no idea
