Pc build

[benmaxwell47]

So i am picking out the parts for my 1st PC i am going to build here are the part let me know if i should change anything or if you have any suggestions.

 

I want to be able to run games good and be able to do little bits of video work

 

I also want to be able to upgrade to SLI graphics card in the future and upgrade to 16 GB of RAM that is the power supply is 1200 Watts but i still don't know if that is too much i will be over clocking and want to spend much more than i am right now

 

Other things i want o add in the future is a TV tuner WiFi card , capture card , and second SDD 

 

Help me if you can thanks   

 

 

GPU  ASUS STRIX-GTX980 

 

CPU Intel Core i7-4790K

 

Motherboard  ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO

   

SSD Crucial MX100 SSD 512GB

 

Cooler CORSAIR Hydro Series H110

 

Case Corsair Graphite Series 760T

 

RAM CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB)

 

Power Supply Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 1200W Power Supply

A decent 860W PSU will be plenty even for SLI. Or if you want you can get a 1000W but 1200W is waaaaay to much

 

For example the Cooler Master V850 if you wanna stick with that brand.

@benmaxwell47 Just an Idea, maybe a HDD? 1tb drive are pretty cheap. If you drop the size of the PSU (1200w is little bit over kill for maxwel cards) you could squeeze one in.

if you are planning to game on 1080p make sure you get a 144hz moniotor, because on a 60hz monitor it will tear so much

WD Blue 1tb = $50

I'd throw in a HDD, they're pretty cheap, also use something like http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html to calculate how much power you'll need, I don't think you'll need 1200W even with SLI.

lower watt power supply and if u can ddr4 be amazingly good but i guess if u can settle for ddr3 that is fine

[syracuse9999]

Corsair axi 860i... Fully modular PSU. It's also Platinum.

To go to DDR4 he would need to go to X99, a much more expensive platform.  Also try to type sentences that are coherent. 

 

Seems like a solid build, however you could probably drop to an i5 4690k if you aren't doing a ton of video work.  Definitely go with the HDD and the lower capacity power supply.  Great parts list though!

I will be getting a hdd a month after my build I gonna switch to a 1000w and thinking about ddr4

DDR4 should future proof your build.

evga g2 850w psu

[benmaxwell47]

Is 1000w still to much?

You could run 3 x GTX 980 cards off a 1000W psu. If you only plan on dual cards, then go with a 750W/850W. The EVGA G2 mentioned above is very good.

@lee32uk even if I want a capture card tv tuner or do those things not take a lot of power?

They will probably use the same amount of power as something like a pci-e soundcard, so not a lot really. You will be fine with a 750W/850W.

@lee32uk is that web site just for the gpu does it count the cpu and motherboard and sdds because the website just said graphics cards?

Do not consider DDR4. It is currently only available on the LGA2011-3 platform. It is relatively expensive. It will make little or no difference in game performance.

 

1000W psu is far, far to large for the build. A 650W psu would be more than sufficient. 750W if you are truly paranoid and choose not to believe the hard data. 850W if you plan to add a second gpu in the next 12 months.

It is an estimate for the whole system. It won't be deadly accurate as every pc is different, but is a good guideline.
