Need help with new PC build

[SoSSmokeyMcPot]

Hi everyone.

 

I'm a long time fan/member of Linus and the forum, first time posting.

 

I've built a few systems before, but I'm not ashamed to say that I've messed up a few of the builds.

(either with to low PSU or to much memory that's never used, and non-optimized processor, motherboard and ram combinations.)

 

So I'm looking for some feedback about my next build.

I have a budget of about 25,000 SEK (Swedish kronor) = about 4,300 CAD.

 

This is a gaming system.

 

(Must have! - i7-4770K and Corsair Obsidian 750D.)

Why i need the 4770K is mostly future proofing.
My current rig is powered by a Core 2 Quad Q9300.

Been adding components and upgrading the GPU from a 6600GT, 8800GT, 280, 480 to what i have now is a 560Ti.

 

 

GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II OC

 

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K

 

 

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i ( with 2x Corsair Air Series SP120 )

 

 

Motherboard: ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH Z87 - ATX / Z87

 

 

Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D

 - 4x Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm

 

 

PSU: Corsair PowerSupply HX750 750W 80+ Gold

 

 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 PC-12800 1600MHz

 

HD:

 - Samsung 840 Series SSD 250GB SATA3

 - WD Black 1TB (7200RPM/64MB Cache)

First off, welcome to the forums!

Second: What will you be using your pc for?

[ciprian97pop]

you won't need only 8gb of ram of 1600/1800 mhz ram

any cheaper z87 board will work

change that 760 with a 280x 

 

and what are you using your pc for ?

Welcome to the forum!

we need to know what type of system you will be building first. Is it for gaming? video/photo-rendering? or a little of both?

why is dis?

Sorry forgot to post what I'm going to use this machine for, mostly gaming and office work and maybe some Photoshop.

 

Why i need the 4770K is mostly future proofing, my current rig is powered by a Core 2 Quad Q9300. When the Q9300 hit the market is when i bought my rig. - Been adding components and upgrading the GPU from a 6600GT, 8800GT, 280, 480 to what i have now is a 560Ti.

I think you wouldn't really need an i7 for that kind of use., an i5-4670k and a motherboard of your choice would suffice your work needs

 

i7 is mostly recommended for video editors and rendering applications. You can just use the saved money to buy a better graphics card, like a GTX 780 which will make you play most games at max settings

Because at the end of the day, the graphics card will be the one doing all the work in games
