Thank you all for the time looks nice, as for the GPU the best one is the Gigabyte G1 gaming, but between evga and MSI, id go for the EVGA, but make sure its the SSC model, as it has an updated cooler that the others don't have, not even the FTW Are you new to the forums???? read the Code of Conduct HERE WANT SOME AWESOME LTT THEMED WALLPAPERS??? check out XTanksSlayerX's wallpaper thread HERE "May our framerates be high, and our temperatures low" - PC MasterRace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 28, 2015 Why are you getting a: E3 1230 V3 Haswell? its probably cheaper then a 4790k.

Posted January 28, 2015 And a 290? 650 would give you some headroom. TDP is 275 which is high but since the CPU is 80W, It's like owning a 4790K & GTX 970 power-wise which can handle 400W. I would say go for a 750W or 850W if you plan to crossfire in the future otherwise save your money and get a 500W. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 28, 2015 r9 290 is better than GTX 970?No but better value for money and like 6% less performance but if you have the money then go for the 970. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 28, 2015 a friend of mine told me E3 1230 V3 is enough for this setup, so should I change to i7? Yeah it's enough but thats a server-grade processor. Not sure how well it would run compared to an i7 in games blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 28, 2015 750W 850W seems a little overpower, how about the EVGA 600W? 750W/850W for SLI. EVGA 600W would be fine for a single card! I prefer EVGA's PSU's anyway. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 28, 2015 Author No but better value for money and like 6% less performance but if you have the money then go for the 970. 970 is about $20 more, i planed to use this PC for a very very long time, so maybe ill get 970 but thank you very much for the remind!!

A 500w will be fine for the 970 but for cable managements sake try and squeeze in a semi modular power supply. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the system to be used? I would suggest a better psu. SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze would be a great choice. r9 290 is better than GTX 970? No. a friend of mine told me E3 1230 V3 is enough for this setup, so should I change to i7? All depends on how the system will be used. 750W 850W seems a little overpower, how about the EVGA 600W? 750W is much more than needed. For that matter, even 600W is a bit over what is needed. Anything over 500W would be enough capacity. so compare E3 1230 V3 to 4790k, which one have the better value for money? Depends on how the system will be used and what the budget is. The i7-4790K has a 700MHz faster clock and on-chip gpu. The Xeon has marginally better memory handling. 80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
