Help Creating a Gaming PC

[Krazykaram]

I am in need of a new gaming pc my budget is around £750 which is $1211 but the prices of parts could be higher! I have 2 monitors if that means anything!

 

The games I will be playing are:

Battlefield 4

CS:GO

Minecraft

COD

Crysis 3

 

 

Parts I think I will have in it:

CPU : Intel i5-4670k 3.4GHz (I will be overclocking) 

Storage: 1TB WD caviar black

Storage: 120GB Samsung 840 EVO

Memory: 8GB of corsair vengeance RAM

Case: Fractal design R4 case

 

but I don't really know what to get for the other parts. I was looking maybe at a gtx 770 gpu. And around 600W PSU! if you can please link parts from UK stores. To find these parts I used uk.pcpartpicker.com!

 

Thank you!

Do you need an os and other periferals with it?

[Rebelattack]

Go 4690k and go Z97 bord

I dont need the OS or peripherals i have them!

[HDSantos]

For the GPU I would get the GTX 970, it's good priced (at least here in Spain) and for the motherboard, I would get any cheap one if you don't care about extra features.

Also for the storage dont bother with a WD Black just use the blue.

Also are you planning on overclocking?

I'm on quite a tight budget but I might be able to. Is their anything you would change to make it cheaper?

I changed the case to the R4 which made it £20 cheaper, could I change the power supply? Maybe not fully modular?

CPU cooler?

[Megazero]

CPU cooler?

if you dont OCing or just low level OCing, you dont really need an after market CPU Cooler. Using the stock one that come with the CPU is fine. If you do low-mid level OCing, get a 212 EVO or Plus, they are one of the cheapest but very good air cooler. About 20$

Is this good? i would like to get my CPU over 4GHz

Be Quiet's CPU Cooler is good. But for getting CPU to 4GHz... it totally depend on the CPU. Some i5 4690k will be able to get to 4Ghz really easy, some will never be able to get there without cranking the voltage up. It's what we call silicon lottery

Also why would you need to OC so much?

So i can play the games I want to more smoothly! I also am going to do light editing!

Games wont even use up the stock 3.5 GHz, dont worry about it. For editing maybe.

So I dont need to overclock? I still want CPU cooler thought because I hate the look of the stock one lol!

Yeah, it still a good idea to get a CPU Cooler, and OCing should only be done when you actually use it and feel like it's slow.

The partlist is private so I cant see it

I'd get a MSI Z97 G45 motherboard instead, look much nicer + support SLI, yours dont. Also get the i5 4690k, not the 4670k. You can also change the Ram to some other color if you want your build to have a color scheme to it.

Get a GTX 970 instead of a 770

I cant get a 970 as it isnt in my price range

[Megazero]

It's only about 25 GBP more right? Please try to save up abit more to get it It's way way better than the 770.

Also the i5 4690k is about 3-5GBP higher I think? but if you cant it's ok. You can also get a MSI Z97 PC Mate Motherboard, which is way cheaper than the G45 but still support everything you need except SLI, like the ASUS one you choose before. You can get a 970 that way

I can get the upgraded cpu and mobo just not gpu atm. yeah the gpu is 25 more but the shipping and it being refurbished! I will upgrade to a 970 later then btw can u SLI with a 970+770 or do they have to be the same? I have never done a build with SLI!
