Is this PC good for 2K $ Best gaming budged?

[MrFub]

Tell me a good 144 hz 24'' monitor bro.

The BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz 24.0" Monitor is a good one.  Only 229.99 on NCIX US. 

[JohnTevor]

I'm working on it hold on.

[brob]

Hey guys trying to have my future build.

 

How is this? I have explained details on the link. Hopefully saved alot.

 

My target is best factory OC performance on the market with quietest fans ATM.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/b/7fPscf

 

What do you think?

 

$213 for a 1TB hdd? Outrageous! Especially in a build with an ssd. The Velociraptor is absolutely wasted. IMO this is more than $150 that could be better spent elsewhere in the budget.

 

More being spent on fans than on the case itself? Effectively the build includes a $280 case - more than 13% of the budget!

 

If quiet operation is being sought, get a case designed for quiet operation. Something like the 550D, Define R4, or Deep Silence 2 might be better choices.

 

You might want to consider a psu like the Seasonic X-750, SeaSonic SS-750KM3, which will operate up to around 375W below 17dB. And according to http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/psus/2013/04/26/best-power-supply-psu-720-750w/14 is remarkably quieter than the Dar Power Pro 10 750 at 500W. It is also less expensive. Given the build an X-750 should be inaudible at load.

Removed all expensive fans. Changed almost everything. Since i ain't OCing.

 

The GPU/Mobo is not for discussion. Now how bout a good i5 non K, non OCable that can handdle the 780ti?

[brob]

@JohnTrevor, I would suggest the SeaSonic SSR-650RM instead of the EVGA 650W.

[JohnTevor]

Why?

 

And also hows i5-4690 for gtx 780 ti?

Yes an I5 non k can handle it. I still think you should get a cheaper board other than the vii hero. Its only $200 for the extras.

@JohnTrevor, I would suggest the SeaSonic SSR-650RM instead of the EVGA 650W.

The EVGA is just fine, you don't need to spend more on a sea sonic.

Non OC. Nice looking and top of the notch performance

[brob]

Why?

 

And also hows i5-4690 for gtx 780 t

 

I believe in getting good quality psu that provide clean power and will last as long as the rest of the system. The Seasonic does a better job delivering power and has slightly better construction. http://hardocp.com/article/2014/05/16/evga_supernova_nex650g_650w_power_supply_review/9#.U--5L2Pwoa8, http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=348 may interest you.

 

An i5-4690 will have no trouble driving a GTX 780 Ti in most games. If you decide to go that route get an H97 motherboard and save a few dollars more. I don't believe that Asus has a ROG H97 but Asrock & Gigabyte do have red/black themed H97 motherboards.

Any reason why you went with the VII hero?

[JohnTevor]

Any reason why you went with the VII hero?

The sound. The Ethernet tech. Sexyness.

 

And also ill have http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-x660gold

 

Ill get the stability for a few bucks mate.

 

Again explain to me this : Why 2x4 gb ram instead of 1x 8gb ram?

 

And again lets say i want to change mobo. What do u recommend to me of Asus?

[Swndlr]

The MSI gaming 5 has basically the same audio and ethernet that the VII Hero has. http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GAMING_5.html or an Asus z97-A http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97A/ Duel channel memory will give you a performance boost. From 5% to 15% in general use. It kinda splits the workload, think of it like a two lane highway vs a 1 lane. You'll see more of a performance boost in games though.

[JohnTevor]

Thanks for the advice. Added the MSI mobo instead of Hero VII.

 

Thanks for the explain of the 2-way ram too

 

And one more thing. Since mobo changed, Asus combo is broken from MSI mobo. Instead Added the custom version of EVGA's GTX 780TI

A bit more money but still on the budget. I'm worried if the CPU will bottleneck the GPU at some point

[MrFub]

Thanks for the advice. Added the MSI mobo instead of Hero VII.

 

Thanks for the explain of the 2-way ram too

 

And one more thing. Since mobo changed, Asus combo is broken from MSI mobo. Do you think Gigabyte GTX 780ti Windforce is better than Asus GTX 780TI OC DC2? Also the EGA one looks interesting.

I want the highest performance ofcourse, since the airflow in the case is good, i don't think an extra fan from gigabyte will make much of a difference.

 

Wich are the comparisons between performance and temps?

If you can, get an EVGA card. They have awesome customer support! I'd say get the ASUS card if you can't get an EVGA one. Do you plan to OC the GPU?

The EVGA is just fine, you don't need to spend more on a sea sonic.

The Seasonic is all of $10 more, and is a hundred times better than the EVGA.

I think for the sake of $15 or so you might as well stick the i5 4690k in there. It gives you the option to overclock in the future.

 

That gpu is way overpriced. This is fine for your needs - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx780tidc2oc3gd5

[Guest]

How does this look ? A bigger psu in case you want to add a 2nd gpu. The 'k' cpu isn't that much more so you might as well put it in. It is always good to have the option of overclocking even if you don't do it from the start.

This is the final RIG. Thank you guys for quick replies and explains. Decided to go with the 4690k if i want to OC a bit in the future, BUT ONLY if a bottleneck appears. Since EVGA's GTX 780TI is overprized and for OCers, i'm not spending more money on that.  Admins may close this topic now.

I think you are still overspending on the graphics card. If you are not going to overclock the nuts off the gpu then the Asus 780 ti makes more sense. It is your money though 

 

Everything else looks good.

This is the final RIG. Thank you guys for quick replies and explains. Decided to go with the 4690k if i want to OC a bit in the future, BUT ONLY if a bottleneck appears. Admins may close this topic now.

The memory kit is WAY OVERPRICED. You should be able to find the same thing for around $85. Certainly Kingston Fury Red Series is better and less expensive. Mushkin Redline is even better and lower priced. Or Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red.
