Motherboard: ASUS Z87- PRO

CPU : Intel 3.5 GHz LGA1150 4770K i7 4th Generation Processor

PSU:Corsair VS650 650 Watt PSU

Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

RAM: 4X4 GB Corsair 1600 MHZ

Please share your views about this build.

Please share some good GPU under $150.

 

I would be playing games occasionally.

 

Thanks.

Why are you goin with Z87.. get a 4790K and a Z97 Motherboard and a R7 265 or 750 ti should be fine for gaming.

[KPZ211997]

1. Will you do video editing/rendering as well? if then then the CPU and the RAM is too overkill

 

2. For under 150$ the best GPU is probably the R7 265 or GTX 750ti

 

3. You might want to look at the PSU, that's a value series, I suggest picking better PSU should you OC

I m not big fans of games but occasionally I like to play street fighter, NFS etc

I am into Microsoft Sharepoint development. Sharepoint 2013 needs good amount of RAM and good processing unit.

Keeping above in mind I bought these components.

Do you think Z87 Pro is not worth with 4770K keeping in mind I do not have to upgrade for 3-4 years.

I may overclock may be dont know. 

 

I am feeling low now because I had already received these components and you guys have voted against the build

Thanks for the suggestion btw but I have to live with this build now.

 

Please share your views.

 

 

Edit: Please suggest the amount of VRAM should I be looking for in GTX 750ti or R7 265

 

 

Thanks in advance.

no need to feel bad its not like the cpu is poo but its just 4790K Has better temps and a higher OC's.

why are you doing getting a 4790k and a 150 dollar gpu? If you are rendering I can understand, but If you are gaming it makes no sence. anyway, an r7 265 or gtx 650 ti will do the best

Don't feel bad bruh. It's a good build. Z97 + i7-4790K is just a refresh and it's just some slight improvements on z87 + i7-4770K.

I would not overclock but somebody has suggested me to take  "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO" for OC with "4770K".

He told me hat I can reach 4.5 Ghz with this cooler and the PSU. Do you think the cooler would be able to keep the processor temp under control.

I have also ordered "Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat Transparent Side Panel Mid Tower Cabinet". Would this be of any help in keeping the temp under control.

 

Thanks.

@Phoenix70
I am confused now. I do render the code sometimes and sometimes play games, so what should be the VRAM and the GPU I should go for.

Get the 2GB version, you never know when you need it

Thanks a lot for the suggestions

OK here is my complete build:-

 

Motherboard: ASUS Z87- PRO

CPU : Intel 3.5 GHz LGA1150 4770K i7 4th Generation Processor

PSU:Corsair VS650 650 Watt PSU

Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

RAM: 4X4 GB Corsair 1600 MHZ

GPU : MSI AMD/ATI R7 265 2GD5 OC 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Cabinet:Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat Transparent Side Panel Mid Tower Cabinet

 

 

Please rate it.

My only worry is whether I have to upgrade again within a year or the setup would go for many years.

 

Thanks

Mike

Few suggestion here

1. Go for 16 (2x8) GB will give you more upgrade room than 4x4

2. Get a better PSU, that one is not viable for your rig

 

The only thing you will need to upgrade in the future is probably the GPU

a good gpu for under $150, are you just doing mainly workstation stuff. maybe you could get an i5 cpu and put a bit more towards a better graphics card with 2, 3 or 4 gig onboard ram.
