New Gaming Rig

ducecake · August 31, 2014

So I have decided to do a new rig for myself. I sold my other rig and am kinda missing it a little. Soooo I am going to start getting things ready for a new build. I am very good and I know what I am doing but for this rig I thought I might ask some peeps on what they thought would be some cool parts to add. I will probably have a budget of around $1200. I like to keep most of my rigs mostly Intel/Nvidia CPU/GPU combo. Now this is a much lower budget from my last rig, seeing that I had a i7 4770k and a ASUS ROG mobo and a GTX 770 it was like $1800 on cyber monday last year.

So with all that said send me some suggestions on parts or a whole rig that would be good for this budget, or should I wait and save up and then buy on black friday/cyber monday since its not to far away? I really dont care waiting either. You dont have to add a monitor I already have a 1080p and a 4K 60Hz monitor that I will be using. Thanks!

First question, why the hell would you sell your rig????

i5 4690K, Hyper 212 EVO, GTX 760/770, MSI Z97-G55 SLI mobo, Corsair CX 600M.

Are you going to be gaming on the 1080p monitor ? or the 4K monitor ? as that will affect gpu choice.

Because I can. lol. I go through a lot of trades and computer stuff so im pretty used to it. But I do need to get a rig and settle for it for a while though. Thanks for the parts suggestions!

More than likely gaming on the 1080p monitor. I would only test to see how the 4k gaming would be or I could go with 2k on the 4k monitor, but mostly I would just use my 1080p monitor for the gaming side. I was thinking maybe the same one I had such as a GTX770? I think I might have to get one with a higher VRAM though.
