What is the purpose of your pc?

[danieljack]

Eh I want it for gaming, budget= 650-700

[hammerslap1]

i would assume  you plan on doing something that would want more than just on board graphics.

[danieljack]

I have edited the post. The gpu I already have is the MSI n580gtx lightning

[hammerslap1]

seems hard to want to spend the extra for the z97 platform if you only have a 700 budget

[danieljack]

I've looked and all the parts cost 650 Euro (without the gpu because I already have it)

[MPX309]

Drop down to i5 and maybe cheaper mobo and get ssd. that'll give u more benefit overall than an i7 if you're only using it for gaming.

[Umair]

Do you really need an i7 for gaming?  Your bottleneck will definitely be the GPU at this rate, but I suppose you could upgrade that in the future rather easily...

[danieljack]

Yeah I think so but I also thought about the i5 4690

[loccilucas]

Yeah I think so but I thought also about the i5 4690

yeah, go the i5, sell your current 580 and go with a newer card, mabye something like the 770 or 280.

Just gaming? Go ahead and get the Xeon E3-1231 v3. Not many people know about Xeon's but you save on the cost about $50 since the only difference from a standard 4790(non K) is integrated graphics are not included. I would go with the ASUS Z97-A because even though you may think you don't care about having a silent PC, when you do you'll never want to go back. Fan Xpert IS worth it. Go with the Phanteks Enthoo Pro instead, should be back in stock soon. Only get these things if they are available to you for a good cost.

The 580 can still run todays games at medium settings probably, no need to switch just yet.

[danieljack]

Okay Thanks, I bought the card from some one for 80 euro's. I'm first buying the other parts and then I look if I can buy a better gpu

[loccilucas]

it can run them at high mabye ultra, but I feel that when buying a new PC you want it to feel new and good for a couple years, because the 580 will start to get out of date in a year or so.

Maxwell's coming out soon, he should at least wait for that.

Highly reccommend that you get an unlocked processor. (Anything with a K at the end of the number ex. i7 3770k i7 4770k) Also an SSD for OS so you don't have to mirror the drives when you decide to change it.

[hamzahimself]

improve the graphic !!!!!!!! sell the lightning

[danieljack]

I think i'll go with the xeon like you said. It's cheaper and it has the same power
