Posted May 21, 2014 So I am going to build myself a computer in the nearst future and I think I need some help with the part picking. The build is on a 1100$ Budget and its main focus is gaming. Not Ultra gaming, but around HIGH settings. I am not focusing at overclocking as this is my first build. Here is the Partlist: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Joackim/saved/4L63 For people who are too lazy to click the link, here is the list once again: CPU : Intel Core i5 4440 GPU: MSI GTX 760 TF 2GB PhysX RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB DDR3 1600MHz MOBO: MSI H97 Guard Pro LGA 1150 SSD/HDD: Samsung EVO 840 120GB/Seagate Barracuda 1TB PSU: Corair CX 600M 600W CPUCOOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO OP: ASUS DRW-F1ST OS: Windows 7 Home Prem.

Posted May 21, 2014 Spend more on processor and spend less on motherboard. Get cheapest 2x4 heatsinked branded ram. Get seasonic or xfx psu, 400watts or more is ok.

Posted May 21, 2014 If you aren't overclocking the stock cooler is fine, no need for that 212 EVO. If that H97 board is more expensive than say a H87, don't get it. Just get H87. You'd be fine on a Corsair CX430watt PSU, which is only like $40. BUT, it is non-modular. Why Windows 7?

I prefer windows 7 over windows 8, and here in Norway they are priced the same, and Im going with 600W because im hoping to upgrade in the future without having to swap out everything. I chose the 212 EVO because i've had a computer with the stock cooler and makes alot of noise.

So, ill go for a i5 4570 and MSI B85-G43 instead? I know B85 isnt that great.

Posted May 21, 2014 For a gaming rig, a GPU > CPU usually. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Omgv Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/155439-building-a-computer-soon-need-help/#findComment-2072151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a gaming rig, a GPU > CPU usually. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Omgv this is good, dunno about PSU, but looks solid. however i wouldnt recommend overclocking on this mobo at all.

Posted May 21, 2014 I just chose a PSU from a brand I "trust." I trust in both seasonic and nzxt Good choice of psu, i recommend ! @Manny Calavera Ofc I wont overclock, i am good with 3.6 GHz, im atm used to 2.1 with this laptop soo... I am more worried on single core performance of this processor. But in the long run, its ok processor, even at stock. Just dont raise voltages. Or you could get ud3p from gigabyte and dont worry at all.
