Hi everyone. I'm new here and I don't know too much about PC Hardware. I want to build a Gaming PC and this is my first time. I want to be able to play GTA V in a very good settings, Battlefield Hardline and Arma 3 mainly. I am a console gamer and I currently own the PS4 and the Xbox One, I really got bored from these systems where they make you pay a lot of money when you can build a better PC with it. I want to build a gaming PC that can offer me what consoles can't. I currently own a S22B300N Samsung Monitor running 60Hz 1920 x 1080 but I can buy a better monitor with HDMI. Firstly I want to build the computer so I can spend MAX 900$ and if i could spend less it would be better. I have in mind:
- Motherboard
- MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97 GAMING 5 / ASRock PRO4 ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97M PRO4 / Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK (Black Edition) Motherboard Core i7/i5/i3 LGA1150 Intel Z97 Express ATX RAID Gigabit LAN (Integrated Graphics) / EVGA Z97 FTW LGA1150 ATX 4 DIMM Dual-Channel DDR3 2666MHz Motherboard 142-HR-E977-KR
Wich one do you sugest me? I have no idea wich one is better and more reliable. I want something that can last and give me a good performance (:
- Processor
- Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ 6 MB Cache - BX80646I54670K / Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I53570K / Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I54690K
Wich one is the best for gaming? Should I get an i7? I mean it could give me better performance at gaming and stuff? Or the i5's are good for the games I want to play?
- Graphic Cards (Here is where I have the big dilema)
- MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Graphics Cards / EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card / EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ 4GB GDDR5 256bit, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DP SLI Ready Graphics Card 04G-P4-3975-KR / Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Overclocked GDDR5 Pcie Video Graphics Card, 4GB
One question about the graphic cards compatibility. Let's say I purchase the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard, in their website right here "http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#support-vga"it says that the motherboard supports Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 but in the Vendor category it says MSI so it has to be the MSI's GTX 970? Or it is compatible with any GTX 970?
- Ram Memory
- Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FBK2/16)
- Power Supply
- EVGA 500B 500W 80PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 500W Power Supply 100-B1-0500-KR
Do I need More wats?
- Hard Drive
- WD Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive
All this setup will cost me a total of 1,007.01$ including taxes. I can't spend this much in one hit. So I need sugestions please, I can buy all the stuff but not together maybe in 10 days buy another piece but tell me the most important things to get a computer started with that I mentioned. The hard drive can wait? I have a 80 GB HardDrive that im using right now. Thank you <3
