Do you need a monitor, peripherals, OS etc? Assuming USD, yes?

[neutrogo]

hey no i have a 1080p monitor already and im not that big on 4k   i have most of my peripherals covered so its only about the pc itself

 

umm ill be running windows 8.1 and no sry my mistake im in europe so thats about 1200 usd

[Oshino Shinobu]

Well, here's a rig using US prices. It'll be more expensive in Europe. EDIT: Changed it to UK prices to give you a better idea. Comes to around 1100 EUR when converted from GBP.

thanks looks like this will satisy my needs but i still have a question if you wouldnt mind

 

how long would this rig approx last before i would have to upgrade?

 

and i heard that lga 2011 cpus are supposed to be "better and futureproof"?

There is not anything taht is truly "futureproof" Exept for the case/chassi.

That rig will hold up Years,

Even My rig still handles The Shadow Of mordor at over 30 FPS with all settings at maximum exept for Shadows and render distance.

The build oshino gave is rock solid I only would get a EVGA G2 750 W fully modular PSU just for future SLI if you are not gonna do this then just take the 500 W PSU. Just check out the website you wanna use to buy the stuff and tell us how much it is so we can look where we can save money if it is to expensive. Also what country in EU?

[neutrogo]

well first thank you guys for helping

 

i live in germany and this pc would cost me about 1200 euros on amazon

 

i guess i would do sli 970´s in the future

 

and sry i forgot to mention that ill do slight flash and photoshop stuff on it aswell would that interfear with the build in any way?

Nope. the 4690K is still plenty powerful for those applications. If you're going to be doing some more serious video editing or rendering type work, you'd probably want to go for the 4790K. 

 

If you plan on SLI, EVGA's 750w G2 is a good choice, but will increase the price of the build a bit.

thanks guys you´ve made my decision a lot easier i guess ill have to wait till i get the cash ready now
