I don't think so. unless you want a 950 for a gpu. my build has a 4460 and a 380 and it's at $940. My other skylake build is almost a grand.

I believe you can. Remind me in 1.5 hours and I'll try.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Well, no SSD is fine, and I'll put in the Gigayte R9 380 SOC 4GB for 300

It's not going to be worth it. Most games use the GPU much more than the CPU, so you'll have better performance with a 4460 and 390 than a 4690K and 380.

Ok, so I think I'll just keep my current build plan

If you save 1200 then you can get what you want, or if you want a r9 380 then 1000 is possible

If you wait for a r9 380x class card then it would work best. Or just get used stuff.

I have the 4690k overclocked to 4.5Ghz and a r9 285 overclocked to 1140/1560 and the combination works like a charm. If only AMD launched a r9 285 with 4gb of vram...

My first upgrade would probably be an SSD but for 50 dollars more I'll probably purchase it at the same time. My first upgrade will probably be another gpu in like 3 years for crossfire :P

If you ever want to do Crossfire you'll need a better PSU, but your current one is more than enough for now.

Hi, is it possible to put a 4690K in a $1000 CAD build with a cooler thats decent for overclocking with a decent GPU for gaming? Some builds would be nice

Nope, I dont think you can! If you would like to get a cheaper gpu you can, but if you like to do gaming, thats not possible! So yeah, just get an i5 4460 and a good gpu. i5 4460 is almost the same as the 4690K but a lot cheaper because, around 40$ cheaper itself, plus you dont have to buy a cpu cooler(u can use the stock one cuz your not overclocking) which is another 25$ saved, plus you dont have to buy a Z chipset motherboard for overclocking which can save you another 20$ or so! Which in total is around 85$ saved if you buy a 4460 rather than the 4690K! You can totaly game at 1080p or 1440p with no problem with an i5 4460 and a good gpu! ;)

You can last from 5-6 years no problem with a 4460 and the r9 390, but if you have the money to go over 1000 and get the 4690K.. then fine :) good luck

I'm thinking about saving 1500 for an 4790K and an R9 390. Then I'll probably have that PC until College :3 My backup plan will be a 4460 with an R9 390. Thanks for all the help!
