Gaming build

[JasperV]

Hi,

I'm going to build a new game pc but i'm not exactly sure what i should do. 

I'm planning on getting 2 Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 (1 will be bought later) but i don't know if:

-It will fit in the 450D

-It's worth it

My budget is €1400 and i'll be buying from the site linked below.

The monitor is temporary, i'll be buying a 144 hz monitor later.

 

This is what i have so far, feel free to change things that u would do.

 

Thanks in advance

I would like to hear the opinion of others and what they would do.

[Vavetti]

temporary monitor seems a bit unnecessery.

I would rather get a good monitor right away or use some random old one I have lying around.

The RAM can't really get much more cheaper, like €3 and what cheaper mb would u recommend for an SLI build?

That is like cheapest ram you can get. You can get a set for 5 euros less but it will look awful. 

 

 

 

Get the super nova 850 it is only 2 euro's more (10+ days shipping on azerty but look at Tweakers.nl you will find a shop with same price and delivers it in 2-3 workdays )

Get a Wester digital Blue instead of the black it will save you 20 euros

Z97s SLI plus MSI

I would change the WD Black to the WD Blue.

 

You might have to remove a drive cage for the bottom card.

(sorry for dutch can't say this in English) Zo te zien is de 4690k duurder geworden op azerty. Je zou even in de gaten moeten houden want ik merk deze afgelopen 2 weken dat de prijzen erg schomelen op azerty. zo is de asus impact vi 60 euro duurder geworden ;/ 

 

EDIt: I don't know if you realy want the 450d but Phanteks is coming with a new Phanteks Evolv for ATX mobo's

If i remove the bottom card, will i still be able to mount the HDD?

(sorry for dutch) Ja, ik heb het gezien, gebeurt vaak bij azerty ik kan de cpu natuurlijk ook gewoon op een andere site bestellen

 

And yes i really want the 450D, it has great airflow and looks amazing

Moet je wel effe kijken of er geen verzend kosten bij komen bij andere sites want dat gebeurt wel vaak of overmorgen ofsow kijken wat de prijs is aangezien het de heletijd schommelt

I'd even go for the WD Green HDD + SSD. I think a SSD is just a must have nowadays. Best bang for buck is the Crucial MX100.

 

How about the Asus Z97-A or Z97-Pro GAMER.

I've heard some bad stories about MSI as a motherboard manufacturer, but it's your decision.

 

Nice colors bro, I'd go for a Phankteks Enthoo Pro so you save 30 bucks.

Ik woon in Belgie en azerty is nog steeds het goedkoopst voor mij

I already have an 250gb ssd

Ans i was thinking about getting to Asus Z97-A to

The Enthoo Pro looks good to but where i'm buying it from i only save like $10 so that's not really worth it in my opinion

If you look at the review in the link below, it says that the 2nd card should be 260mm or shorter if you leave the drive cage in. The Gigabyte card is 310mm long so it wouldn't fit unless you took the cage out.

You could always put a hard drive in the top of the case as you can buy 5.25 to 3.5 adaptors.

Or i could change the graphics card, i think the MSI Gaming or the Asus Strix will be better for sli

Yes you can go with a different card if you are not set on the Gigabyte. 

 

 

The MSI GTX 970 is 269mm long so you could chance it.

Then i'll go with the MSI.

Shame you don't like the Enthoo Pro though as that case will fit a card up to 347mm with the drive cages in place. So the Gigabyte G1 card would fit fine in SLI.

 

The MSI is still a very good card though.

On the site the MSI card is more expansive than the Gigabyte G1 which doesn't make any sense.

I'm going to chose the G1 with the Enthoo thanks for your advice
