Bad build for gaming. Downgrade CPU and upgrade gpu

[AlexStriz]

a 4770k with a 750ti? Hmmm...

[Mistersprinkles]

FT03 is a bitch to build in look at osmething else and re spread your budget. 6300FX with a decent GPU.

So pretty tho

So pretty tho

 

NOT a first time builder's case at all.

[bjarnesen]

it's meant as a combo workstation/gaming computer. what about a i5 4670K Quad Core 3.40GHz, 6MB, Haswell or do you mean like ivy bridge downgrade and then a Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 780 ti or gtx 980??

[bjarnesen]

that's why i'm looking for a bit of advice, i do have some skill in the computer hardware department, i just wanna get this build to run as good and smooth, with the best possible components for the case. - without running in to heat problems off cause.  

[Adreyu]

Definitely downgrade that cpu to like a 4690k and get a gtx 970 or something

[bjarnesen]

looking to get the best for the buck and build. that still will support assassins creed blackflag, and assassins creed unity, in nice crisp 1080p high settings. and that will also work good as an workstation.

[bjarnesen]

that's my concrete problem those games, and enormous amounts of lagging when working with demanding workloads, and when lots applications are running.

[Fgtfv567]

use PCpartpicker.com it'll tell you compatitiblity, power usage, discounts, and lots of usefulness. But I'd downgrade the CPU to a i5 and get a better GPU like a 970 if you have the money, assuming this is for video games.

Definitely get the gtx 970 then because 750 ti is not going to handle assassins creed well

[bjarnesen]

what if i went for the gtx 980 instead would that make any sense or should i get the gtx 970 and wait til they make nvidia titan cheaper or a opcoming 15/16 card and then upgrade later when necessary ??

[Dabombinable]

this is my current build (I know that some parts aren't the best but its all that was available that wasn't twice the price of the ones in the US)

 

Core i5 4440

 

16GB DDR3 kingston 1600MHz Hyper-X RAM

 

1TB WD Caviar Blue

 

60GB Corsair Force LS

 

Asus H87M-Pro

 

Gigabyte gtx 970 G1 Gaming

 

Gigabyte gtc 650 ti for dedicated PhysX (using nvidia's PLA benchmark which is based on Unreal engine 3, I was able to get the average framerate for the 970 to equal its highest when it was handling the physx itself, its the same for BF4)

 

Tp-Link dual band 300mbps wifi card

 

apacer multi card reader

 

generic DVD multi recorder

 

Corsair CS650 PSU

 

I have it able to play any game at 1080p with the highest settings. Depending on your budget of course you can go from there, and if you get 2 970s and a good SLi capable motherboard they will easily outperform a 980, without costing too much more, especially if you overclock them.

[Adreyu]

gtx 970 is the best performance to price ratio right now in my opinon, you could get the 980 but you probably dont need to

Looking good! You even got a SSD, so you'll get faster boot up times!

thanks!

[Rebelattack]

thanks!

thanks!

Just get a I5-4690k if it doesn't cost much more, as it is just the same as the 4670k but better. 4 pounds worth it .
