hi guys! first time builder here.


After months of saving, I finally decide to make myself a nice pc for gaming. no video editing/high resolution photo editing.


http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Frezzx/saved/X4Kscf


any change should be made? what's your opinions?


You are welcome to tweak around it to make it even more optimal. Keep in mind that this is the very top end of my budget.


 


It is aim to run today's most demanding game at 1080p with decent fps.


 


Thanks!

It won't. I advise you invest some more and get a CPU cooler(possibly the Cooler Master 212 EVO,212x or Hyper T4)

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

I can spend a little more for that CPU cooler, thank you for your advise. I'll recheck my build.

I do like your build with the i5-4690k and the gtx970, The only problem is the MOBO. I do want to upgrade in the future and maybe even crossFire.

I think it's getting there, I might throw over a couple more bucks for an optical drive.

 

is it worth it to switch over from the Fx-8350 to i5-4690k? (Mobo too)

Im still not sure about the case, mostly because there is no USB 3 front panel and i'll have to buy at least one other fan because it only comes with one.

 

But in the end this is pretty much the perfect build for me!

I'll be picking up windows 8.1 64bit OEM on G2A when it will be available

 

feel free to give your thoughts about it. Thanks for all your feedback.
