New Build || See anything wrong?

[x Relentless Xx]

Starting a new build for a friend and just wanted a second opinion on it to see if there are any bottlenecks or anything. Please don't make a pc part picker build and post the build that you made saying "better". I will ignore it.

 

Going for more of a stealthy black sleeper look

 

PC Specs:

 

CPU - Intel Core i5 4690K (Going to OC)

 

CPU Cooler - Phanteks PH-TC12DX 120mm

 

CPU Cooler Fans - (2) Akasa Apache Black PWM

 

Motherboard - ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark 1

 

RAM - 8GB Corair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz

 

GPU - EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked ACX

 

SSD - 500GB Samsung 840 EVO

 

PSU - Corsair HX750

 

Fans - (5) Be Quiet! Silent Wings 2 140mm

 

Case - Fractal Design R4 Blackout Windowed

You could drop the power supply a hundred watts, as well as get a smaller ssd and a generously sized hdd?

Looks fine. Any reason for a 750W PSU aside from this PSU being a quiet one? I don't know which PSUs are supposedly quiet. Also, why a 500GB SSD? If said friend has a 1TB or similar HDD, then ignore this.

So we can't actually help?

 

Get a 650w EVGA PSU, Hyper X Fury RAM, and a different CPU cooler like that Dark Rock Pro 3.

Are 5 fans really that necessary? I have the exact same case, and all I've done is add 2 front intakes, a rear exhaust, a bottom intake, and taken one of the dampening foams off the top. I've not added any exhaust fans on the top.

 

Bear in mind, the r4 is designed with silence in mind, and fitting all the slots may defeat the purpose. I do have the same fans as you, and in my opinion, the fans aren't all that quiet at 80%+ of the speed.

 

As for the psu, I believe you can get better for the money. For instance, an EVGA g2 750w retails at a few pounds/dollars less, and it comes with a 10 year warranty. It's also a "tier 1" power supply, and it's fully modular and extremely quiet.

I say the Asus Sabertooth is really a nice to have board

 

but go cheaper board

 

if you don't need help then why ask in the first place for advice???

You guys are missing the point. Im not asking for help to pick out parts. Im asking if anyone sees a bottleneck or anything

The GTX 770 will be severely bottlenecked by the petty i5-4690K. At least get an i7-4960X or the Pentium G3258.  :lol:

 

No, there are no bottlenecks and if there are it's so insignificant that nobody in their right mind would care.

I was gonna say......WHAT?!

Well, people have OC'd the Pentium G3258 and it was able to match i5's and I think an i7 in gaming. So...

 

Also, oranges have good senses of humor unlike these squares.

In games that don't use hyperthreading, my i7 bottlenecks my TIs. In Arma 3 and DayZ, even with SLI off, my GPU never hits 100%. I wouldn't plan on SLI without the hyperthreading. The i5 should be close to even with a single 770.
