for what will you be using this pc?

[Krytopsy]

I need answers for those questions to get accurate about what you should get.

What software will you be using ?

What games will you play ?

What resolution are you playing ?

Do you have any specific needs other than gaming like video rendering, storage, etc. ?

[Krytopsy]

You better get 1866Mhz memory for Intel mainstream processor (Not X99).

Are you overclocking? By your choice of CPU it seems not. In that case spending more on a Z97 board isn't necessary. I'd get a decent H97 one instead and save a bit.

 

Might as well get the faster RAM kit unless it's much more expensive.

 

Other than that, looks decent.

[Krytopsy]

You better go with Asus Maximus VII Hero for many reasons including a better audio chip so you won't decrease your GPUs performance by installing a sound card through your PCI-E lanes to replace the cheapeast sound chip on the market that Z97-A has.Get the K version of your processor for overclocking. Get a descent CPU cooler like Hyper 212 EVO for 30$ and get your CPU to 4.0 or 4.2 Ghz minimum. You better go with Nvidia GPU.

[Shura]

Z97 and non K CPU seems like an odd combination, if you plan to OC then you want the 4690k; if you don't plan to OC then you can save some money by going with a h97. Current setup works if you plan on just upgrading the CPU in the future.

1. Eagle PCB,Audacity,

2.Lords Of the Fallen,Dragon Age Inquisition,Farcry 4

3.1920x1080

4.I need SPDIF.

Asus H97-PRO GAMER is better choice for this cpu?

I don't plan to OC!

[Krytopsy]

I would go with:

Maximus VII Hero motherboard

i7 4790K

Hyper EVO 212

Kingston Fury 8 GB 1866mhz (add another 8 GB later)

EVGA GTX 970 4 GO (you can add another GTX 970 later if you need more power or want higher fram rate like 120hz)

Corsair RM Power supply

The 4790K is already clocked at the good frequency for gaming, 4.4 Ghz and the Maximus VII Hero gives way more and way better sound chip than the cheapest sound chip on the market that is on Z97-A. Adding a sound card later will ''steal'' bandwidth from your graphics cards through the PCI-Express lanes. i7 processors clocked at a good frequency get the same performance as 3-4 generations ago i7 cpus. So you won't get benefits from upgrading again in few years so it will be a long lasting computer, reliable wise and performance wise.

This parts are too expensive in my country.(Hungary)

I don't want use Amazon or any foreign online shop.

Good luck getting anything to fit with that cpu cooler on there.

Ok, i understand, i don't buy this RAIJINTEK Ereboss.

I already have a cm hyper 212, i know good enough.

Meh. I didn't like my 212, no real reason. Although it has a much better fan mounting method than Noctua's coolers. If your gonna OC, go with a small AIO water cooler or something.

 

Edit: I didn't like how it mounted to the motherboard

[Krytopsy]

Get the 4690K then but OC is free power. Gaming get a huge benefits from overclocking i5/i7 processors even you overclock them with any voltage increase up to 4.2, 4.4 or so.

3 GB VRAM is too tight for gaming those days. Get 4 minimum.

He is only gaming at 1080p. The 280X is a perfect card for that resolution.

[Krytopsy]

VRAM usage isn't only about resolution. All the 1080p games don't have the same VRAM usage.

I say 4 GB VRAM minimum

[Guest]

So I guess all those poor people who own GTX 780/ti should swap for a 4GB GPU ?  :rolleyes:

[Krytopsy]

How that is suposed to help the guy who made this post ?

[Guest]

I was just proving a point. You said that 3GB VRAM isn't enough for 1080p.

I am not looking to get into an argument, or derail the thread, so maybe we should leave it at that.

[Krytopsy]

A 1 year old game like Battlefield 4 on 1080p use all my 4 Gb VRAM.

[pirannya]

A 1 year old game like Battlefield 4 on 1080p use all my 4 Gb VRAM.

 I don't playing whit Battlefield, prehaps just the single player part.

The story and the feeling is more important than visual things.

If a game can start on my pc and i can play whitout any "lag" or "freezing screen", thats enough for me.

(I can play my gigabyte 6870 oc 1gb vga whit the Shadow of Mordor with medium settings)

I think this build is enough for me for the next 4 year.

I have 1 month before i can buy this parts so the list is not constant.

Thanks any comment.

If you have any question os suggestion please don't hesitate to ask/tell.
