New PC

[HubiDubi]

Hello Folks

 

So, I am planning on buying a completely new desktop PC. But before I buy something stupid, I want to ask what you guys think of it.

 

For the graphics card, i planned on buying a Gainward GTX 770 Phantom

I will create different threads in the other subforums for the rest of the build, but planned is:

• CPU:               Intel Core i4690 (LGA 1150, 3.9 GHz Turbo)
  
• CPU-Cooler:   be quiet! Dark Rock 3 (135mm)
  
• Motherboard:  Asus Z97-A (ATX)
  
• Memory:         Corsair Vengeance 1x8 GB DDR3-1600
  
• Storage:         Samsung 840 EVO Basic 250 GB
  
• Case:             Phanteks Enthoo Pro
  
• PSU:              Corsair RM 750
  

I will mainly use the computer for gaming (Battlefield, The Witcher, Far Cry, etc.), but also some music producing.

I decided to go with an 770 because the equivalent 780's are about 1.5 times more expensive at the local retailer and I don't think that's worth it. But, should I wait for Maxwell? It shouldn't be to long until it finally arrives and I've got some important exams in about two months, so I won't buy a PC before then anyways. Or are there better options for the GTX 770? 

 

Thanks for all the Answers

Please stick to one topic. Just because people don't get to it right after you post it, doesn't mean that we won't get to it at all. http://www.linustechtips.com/main/topic/168607-new-pc/

I unfortunately have no answer for your questions, but 750 Watt PSU is too much. A 600 PSU will do the job just fine.

Alright. Sorry for two threads. I just thought the other subforum is only for MoBo, Memory and CPU,

Replace PSU with a ~600W one and the Mainboard with a H97.

Only get a Z-chipset mainboard, if you purchase an unlocked intel cpu.
