1500 Intel Build

[AmdIsBetterThenIntel/Blue]

I am overclocking to about 40% 

The Budget is 1500 

I am stuck on what GPU to go with

What resolution? At 1080p, get a Gigabyte/MSI 970 or 980. At 1440p and above, get an MSI 980ti.

Edited. fixed but it seems that is not the right build

[Mao_Zedong]

Did you post the wrong build? Thats just a $500 build. Also, you have a space in the link, which makes it harder to use.

A. Link is to a 500$ Build

B. What do you mean overclock by 40%?

[jimakos234]

If you plan to overclock a pentium, you need the g3258 version

Overclocking to 4.5 ghz and I am putting a expensive GPU in it that is why is it only 500

not a good idea, get a minimum of an i3 and you need the g3258 for overclocking

Not sure why you need so many fans.

I put this build together some time ago, and it still fits the CAD budget.

more than a 960 and your gpu is worthless with a pentium

 

in this build you can OC both gpu and cpu:

Overclocking to 4.5 ghz and I am putting a expensive GPU in it that is why is it only 500 

 

Overclock a dual core and put something better than a 750 ti/ r9 370 is a bad idea

The only thing u will get are bottlenecks.'Get an i5 4690k with a z97 mobo and you will be good

[AmdIsBetterThenIntel/Blue]

Right Build and here is what I have now

Something like this will be good, aside the cx psu, which is meant for regular use, and not for overclocking/gaming

That's a g3258 not a g3250...

Yup, this should get the work done.

Being me, i would go for a MSI R9 390 since it is a bit better than the 970 at the same price + more VRAM for future games

I also prefer the Samsung EVO series as SSD, or Kingston HyperX Fury/Savage, and for psu Seasonic, Antec, EVGA , SuperFlower, XFX

but that is my opinion,no arguments at all with the build

[BigDay]

lol. op is all over the place. the g3258 is the one you want. get an i5 if you get anything above an r7 370. i don't see the point in getting a g3258 with a super sick graphics card

I prefer nvidia for graphics cards.

When it comes to ssds the one i have in my build is the same one i chose, I find it a decent, inexpensive ssd that gets the job done. Although I eventually plan on upgrading to a samsung one with higher capacity.

I have an Xfx xtr psu in my build
