Posted July 16, 2014 a good build, the 270x is a good card however personally i would save up a little extra and go for a r9 280 or even a r9 280x CPU: i7 8700k Motherboard: MSI Z370 Krait Gaming RAM: 4x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro (2 white, 2 black) GPU: MSI RTX 2070 Armor Case: Corsair Crystal 570x White HDD: 2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm Sata 3 SSD: 240GB Corsair Force 3 + 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series™ H150i PSU: Corsair RM750i OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit Mouse: Logitech G600 Keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown Monitor: Samsung S24C570L 1080p 23.6" + AOC AGON 240Hz 1080p Sound: HyperX Cloud Headset Black/Red + Logitech Z213 Speakers 2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2014 You could even power a R9-290X with that PSU RTX2070OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll max out most games with it at 1080p pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 16, 2014 Everything seems just fine here, absolutely no problem. That PSU is even quite an overkill. Is it a monkey? Is it an ape? I don't care, I LOVE'EM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 16, 2014 If you plan on overclocking, I would get an after market cooler... I usually start with the most expensive motherboard and cpu I can get my hands on (within reason, obviously). And use components from my last build (or buy cheaper temporary components I can then sell to a friend or family member later) My build is almost complete, I just got my GPUs last month, and I will be upgrading my case from a 330R Quiet to the 760T when I have the money. Had I bought the case I was originally planning when I started my build around November (800 or 900d) I'd be really peeved off the 760T has some better features, is half the price, and looks better (to me) I really like my i7, and I think it's worth the extra $100. I more than saved that by buying refurb GPUs from the manufacturer - that have the exact same warranty. As I've mentioned before, I think they just gave me brand new cards without the game coupons, accessory pack and fancy packaging. As for the PSU... are you planning on adding a second GPU in the future? I have a 1050W PSU that until I got my 780Tis, was powering just a 770, a 4770K, one optical drive, 3 HDDs and 1 SSD. The PSU and the Case are things I don't like to cheap out on, I plan on using the 760T for the next few builds, and the PSU as well. There's no harm in being futureproof.... As long as its in your budget. Sometimes the difference between a 500W and 650W PSU is $15-30. If that's the case, I'd buy the 650W. I always guarantee that no more than 50% of what I say is useful.

Posted July 16, 2014 I'd say you're great to go. Although I believe a EVGA GTX 760 (2GB) Video Card for $249.99 would be a much better graphics card for the price. I own one can max out basically every game. Crysis 3 ~ 1080p ~ Max settings ~ @50-60 fps Metro Last Light ~ 1080p ~ Max settings ~ @45-60 fps Planetside 2 ~ 1080p ~ Max settings ~ @50-70 fps Tomb Raider ~1080p ~ Max Settings ~ @45-70 fps Although I have an AMD FX-8320 CPU you're I5 is very similar to my CPU.

Posted July 16, 2014 Gonna need to buy air in can, my fans are not cleaned since Dreamhack Winter 2013 You can use a shop vac/air compressor if you have one. Just hold the fan still so it doesn't spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
