Starting Pc building

[Fairytayl]

Hey guys,

After all our great input, here is what i've settled on and i would like your opinion on it, it might be a bit on the high end of my budget but i feel it's what will suit my needs the most.

 

- Intel core i5 4690k - that i shall preorder

- Asus maximus VII gene

- 8g of ddr3 Corsair vengeance

- Corsair h100i hydro series

- Asus GTX 770

- Samsung 840 evo series - 120 Go

- Seagate barracuda 1 To

- Corsair obsidian 350D

- Corsair CX750M

 

Still not sure about the power supply, i'd love to get the AX760 but it's increasing my budget by 100€ which i've already increased.

Get a cheaper Motherboard, because you will never use all the features of the Mavimius VII Gene. I'd say get a MSI Z97-G45 or Gigabyte GA-Z97-UD3H or an Asus Z97.AR. With the money saved get a better GPU (if you can). You still don't belive me about the PSU? Here: http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine A 750w PSU is needed if you are going to SLI or Crossfire. If your not going to SLI or CF than get a 550w PSU, like the Corsair VS550M or the Corsair RM550.

Good luck putting these motherboards into 350D.

 

Really good build

The motherboard is fine, it matches the looks if you care about it, if you don't you could go with a bit cheaper Z97 Gryphon.

The only thing that I don't "agree" on is the PSU, the wattage is an overkill and you probably can afford to buy a Corsair RM - 550 or 650W.

@The Slimy Pig The thing is i do plan to SLI later on the way so the psu is there so i don't have to buy another one, same thing with the mother board it allows me to SLI later aswell as doing a bit of overclocking.

 

@Gachr yeah the red and black look is what sold me on the card aswell as the positive review it got about overclocking and overall performance, I also agree that the wattage might be overkill but future SLI is a posibility and i don't really want to buy another psu just for that.

[Gachr]

SLI isn't worth it, the costs (motherboard, PSU, additional cooling) make it not worth it. If you want to upgrade, go with 780Ti or something.

Alright good to know,

 

Thans again for your opinion and i shall provide you with some pictures when the build is done and running, might have to wait a while until 4690k arrives but i'm not in a hurry.

[Gachr]

What PSU and mobo are you going with?

[Fairytayl]

going with the maximus VII gene and RM650, whatever if i upgrade i'll check for a new psu.

 

RM is fully modular so i might get myself a present and buy red sleaved cables

Great choice
