Hi, I've asked a friend of me to build me a game pc, My budget is 1000 Euro ( 1363,37 USD , 811,25 in british pounds), and I wanted it to run "big games" like Crysis 3 and Call of duty without lag.

He made this one for me : http://pcpartpicker.com/user/LordCreeper/saved/4O0r 

I wonder what you guys think of this PC, and what could I improve or add. 

And if you think you can make a better Gaming pc, please help me and make one! 

 

Thanks.

Don't need 750w, 600w is enough.

You could probably lower the price of the case a bit and get an SSD or upgrade your 770 into a 780, because why not with that budget.

I love StarCraft

@ItxCrow Hello welcome to the LTT Forum.

I believe if you're looking for a machine that doesn't dip below 60fps without latency & stutter I would highly recommend stick with your current card in the list GTX 770 or 780/R9 280X/290.

The power supply is a little more than you need unless you have sli/crossfire x in mind in a couple months however I'd recommend a 450w up till a 550w for a single gpu, you may want buy a ssd first before buying a hdd but it's up to you.

You could probably lower the price of the case a bit and get an SSD or upgrade your 770 into a 780, because why not with that budget.

I doubt he'll need a 780 a GTX 770 will do pretty fine. Most people would commonly say I need or want to play Crysis 3 and a gaming performance standard which doesn't mean you need to play it at Ultra but most things on high.

Yes but do you mind spending an extra $100 on an ssd which does make your boot-ups/reads & writes snappy and quick.

yes, could you tell/link me a good SSD?

 

Thanks

I will name a couple good brands for you to take a look at I don't want to name them in the order of best however I'm only stating the ones in my mind that are reliable; adata would be the first, corsair, kingston, intel, samsung, crucial. Pick which ever is comfortable for you in terms of capacity, warranty, reliability (the working hours which I believe the correct term is iops)

 

Between all ssd's in the same environment like casual web browsing & in ms office, they'll all perform (in-terms of reads & writes) the same unless you're running raid or pcie storage which is out of the question since it's more expensive.

Yup that is a fine ssd & you only will pay a couple dollars extra for a 240GB cap.
