First (Gaming) PC Build - Advanced help required
This page seems not really trustworthy to me
Read some reviews about it and the people said you should keep your fingers from this website. To be honest, about €15-20 for Windows 8.1 it's suspiciously cheap, isn't it? I would stay save with the purchase of the OEM instead of taking the risk that you might be betrayed (even if it only costs you 20€)
Thanks for the reply. Hmm i thought that the H87 is compatible with the 4690... they should give more information in the description.
Would you recommend buying the H97 then or instead use the H87 with the i5-4670? Cause there isn't much difference between the CPUs and they cost the same here. Edit: We'll probably go for the ASRock H97 Pro4 with the i5-4690 then.
And about the RAM...
the Kingston Fury has 1866 frequency which is not supported by the motherboard again, so is it best to choose a more expensive motherboard like the Z87? Or does it work anyway? I don't really know anything about motherboards, so I'm sorry for asking stupid questions. Edit: I found a Kingston Fury RAM with 1600 frequency, my mistake. But we will stick to the Crucial Ballistix Sport, because of the lower latency, or is the quality really that much worse?
And to come to the graphics card: We might consider taking the r9 280x instead. But will the 3GB really be necessary in less than, say 4-5 years if you don't really play the latest games? And the Shadowplay function of the GTX770 seems quite attractive.^^
Well for the Graphics card it's up to you. It depends on what features you want (nVidia has Shadowplay, PhysX and other great things while AMD has Mantle which makes it a complete beast on BF4) and they perform the same. RAM latency barley affects gaming, but if you are going to render and use editing programs, than yes you want to look at lowest latency as possible and at the fastest speeds you can get (until the MoBo supports).
