Why the 4690k with the GTX 960 :L Y U NO LOCKED i5 and GTX 970?

If this is a gaming build, this will be much better for you http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yvpk3C

YOU PAID $300 for a GTX 960? YOU BOUGHT THE 4GB 960? -throws keyboard, jumps off bridge- WHY

I am so sad right now. You got scammed. For like $40 more you could've gotten a far superior graphics card that also has 4gb of memory. If you can return the 960 4gb, that would be great because you got burned hard on that purchase.

 

EVGA b2 is 750w, like $70-80 ($50 after rebate), and the 12v ripple and stability is insanely good. The johnnyguru reviews for the superflower EVGA power supplies are amazing, You'll have some growing room, but I'd get it just for the stability and reliability. I already have one

I mean, they're somewhat passable units, but spend a little bit more and you can get a far better unit OP.

[MrChavelo]

Why only cooler master/corsair?

 

 

This is a really good, reliable PSU: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

No. They are poorly built, you can get better PSUs for that price.

[SkywardKkalox]

4460 + 970 will be WAY better than 4690k and 960. Get a PSU from Seasonic/Evga/XFX or a PSU from the Coolermaster V series like the V550.

[incarnate]

Don't get the 4gb 960. A 100.00 premium isn't worth it since it is almost the price of the much better performing 970.

[Bojan]

Guys why are you saying that the 960 was a bad choice,)btw i dont have any of the components,i havent bought them),im not getting an AMD card thats for sure,the 960 is a great choice,i could get the 2gb model but its almost the same price!

Wow you guys are ripping the 960,i dont understand why...

4GB 960! WITH A 4690k

 

You literally got scammed. The 2gb 960 is ok. But the 4gb 960 is just an absolute waste of money, pimping out the VRAM on mid-range GPUs is marketing crap. You could've gotten a computer with a much better graphics card at the same price

Thank god. I thought since you manually added the price you already bought it from somewhere

 

Get the locked i5 and GTX 970. I'm not trying to be mean I just want people to get their money's worth

No. The big problem is the 4gb 960 cancerizing the whole computer. If you want to save money get a 2gb 960 or 3gb R9 280x. That's an overclockable motherboard incase you want to upgrade to an OCable CPU but if you want to save money get this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97anniversary

Why use a Z97 motherboard if you get an locked CPU? Safe on your motherboard and scrap the 212 Evo and get a GTX 970.

Buying a GTX 960 with 4gb of VRAM is just a pure waste of money you can spend on something much better

You can save money on the case, you don't need an aftermarket CPU cooler, you can save 50$ on the mobo because you don't need a Z97

Is the 970 really that good,why change the motherboard and the CPU cooler,why do i need to change those things????

The Core i5 4460 is a locked CPU, which means that you are unable to overclock it. Motherboards with the Z97 chipset are made to overclock, which in this case you are not able to do. Because you are unable to overclock the CPU, you don't need an aftermarket cooler because the stock cooler will be fine because the CPU will run at clock speeds.

 

 

And the GTX 970 is a hell of a lot better than the GTX 960

The worst thing is that none of the shops sell the 970....sooo i cant buy it.
