Wouldnt that cpu be holding back the card?

"Bitch, I might be" G3258 a.k.a Gucci Mane. 

 

Well, if you wanted to you could get a hyper 212 evo and a i5 4960k and a cheaper motherboard, aand blue/black ram

For builds 1K or under, there's nothing as p/p as a Xeon + 970 combo

Seriously ? Why are you putting a $130 cooler on a $60 cpu ? A Coolermaster 212 would be a far better choice. You could probably get an i5 in there if you shuffle things around.

 

The nex psu is pretty poor too.

Yeah, I kinda didn't change it. He could get a hyper 212 and an i5 and maybe a cheaper 970. When I will be buying my G3258 I will buy a x61 for it

That's what im doing for my future build so when i get the broadwell i7-k, i'll only need to get the cpu.

That board doesn't support SLI (Or crossfire) so the 850W psu is a waste of money.

 

2 x 4GB Ram for dual channel mode.

[benfel7]

I'm in the same place here.
In fact, I have a PCPARTPICKER on the build I'm hoping for with a 970.

www.pcpartpicker.com/p/pXDfD3

 

But here's the basics.

i7 4770k (Check Fry's. They sell for only $222!)

NZXT Respire T40

Gigabyte Ga-B85M

Corsair Venegance 8GB 1866

WD Re3 1TB HD

MSI GTX Twin Frozr 970

Rosewill Galaxy

EVGA SuperNova NEX 750W

LG GH24NSB0 Cd/dvd

Windows 8.1 OEM

Asus Xonar DGX

 

Comes out to about 1029

Us dollars

 

 

Hope I helped!
