im not a "gamer" but...

[Benielishackove]

I play one game Heroes of Newearth if u guys know this game or can "google" it and pls tell what hardware will run this game at highest level possible  

and if u guys know this MOBO that I plan to build on Asus z97pro gamer - will it do enough for that game ? ty guys ! 

[farhanorakzai]

here are min and recommended settings:  http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=786&game=Heroes%20of%20Newerth

 

you could easily max it out with a $500-600 build

If you don't plan on overclocking your CPU you don't need a Z97 board.

already own it nothing bad with it right ? I plan to get the new 1150 come in Q2 2015 so I guess its for that

and if im an intel NVidia guy ? I have seen it the intel side but don't believe

The MoBo is just the 'hub' of the computer. Though arguably just as important making the right MoBo choice as with the CPU & GPU for gaming; the way you asked that question I think you need to do a little more research if you're thinking of installing it yourself.. Just my opinion.

 

The main 2 components of a PC that alter game performance the most are what I mentioned above, the processor and video card. The better the motherboard, the more features & whatnot, and also has an effect on how good the overclock is - for more gaming increase.

 

But, again, whether you get a $50 motherboard (that your components actually support) or a $175 one - without any other changes, you won't get much of any gain in performance or anything else besides on-board motherboard features/connects, etc.

 

 

UPDATE: Ok, so now after reading some of your responses I'm a little confused. Do you have a full parts list to share with us?? We can help much better with the more details and information you provide. The more we know the better the answer.

and if im an intel NVidia guy ?

the only nvidia gpu you can get for $200 is the gtx 960, and the r9 290 is alot better than it. feel free to replace the cpu with an i5 or i3 if your'e on a budget

nah im ok in building PC's just not all that into games and hardware performance per game so I have asked (I have a diploma)

hell internet cafes here in my country can run HoN with a dual core and a cheap GPU. If you can get a X4 860k, 8GB of RAM and a R9 270 you're golden(in 1080p).

ok will a ati card or amd card work with intel  on any board ?

and what about 4k ? not that I have a display right now but I have a receiver that can get to 4k just need the thing.... display ! maybe in near future

[Jerakl]

Fair enough.

[farhanorakzai]

yeah an amd card will work with both intel and amd cpu's 

[farhanorakzai]

and what about 4k ? not that I have a display right now but I have a receiver that can get to 4k just need the thing.... display ! maybe in near future

the r9 290 can easily run that game at 4k

[vern021]

get a 285 for 4k. and maybe find a freesync enabled monitor just in case you dip below 60fps. What's your budget and current build? I can make like a mock up build that you can use as a reference on what you need to get.

if we are here do u guys know if one can update his bios without a cpu in socket or with a cpu but no support ?

[matthewmarchant]

No, from what I know that is not possible.

Nope, motherboard has to post first. You need your CPU, RAM, and... possibly a hard drive. Some motherboards can only post the first time if they detect a hard drive to boot from, but once you do it the first time you can boot to the BIOS with no problem. In any case, you can't update the BIOS without the CPU because the CPU is the hub of the motherboard. Without it, the mobo can do diddly squat, because the CPU governs all activities on the motherboard. To update the BIOS, you must at the very least have a posted motherboard with an internet connection.

The only way I see it being possible is if you have a socketed BIOS chip. You could remove it and replace it with another one with the update, but to be honest you'd be wasting your time and money. Just wait for the CPU to arrive. You shouldn't have any problems anyway.

Great build mate! I see nothing wrong with it, only a preferential change here & there that I'd make, but not much in the way of performance gains (or if so, then negligible)

And yes, the GTX 970 would kick major butt here, not just HON. That's exactly the card I would choose for that build. (EVGA's, to be exact)

Simply put: No.
