Hi, I am building a PC and was wondering if you guys could review this PCPartPicker List for me.

 

I have a tight budget of £1000 or  $1500

I will be adding a GPU in a few months but am desperate to upgrade from my laptop and think that I can live will the i7 4770k's onboard GPU for a few months. I need a monitor and a wireless card.

Fractal Design is a Neccessity!

 

Thanks in advance.

Remove the gpu if you want

If you really want to spend that on non gpu rig that badly

Get a 5820k

Asus deluxe x99

16gb ddr4

Platinum 1500w psu

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

That build will probably be able to max any 1080p game, but 4K is another story...It may be able to run 4K games at lower than max settings, but I wouldn't run this at 4K anyways. And by the way, I recommend an AMD processor to go along with AMD video cards. Also, if you use an AMD processor, you'll be able to get a 6 or 8 core unit for MUCH less than Intel processors similarly performing

Maybe he's waiting for the red team.

 

maybe, I still don't see how he managed to spend 1.5k on it WITHOUT the gpus... even if you include a 4k monitor, you're still left with 1000£+. Which means he probably went x99. Which means for gaming, he's definitely doing it wrong.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Intel cores can handle more stress

Bf4 and csgo is cpu dependent

Intel cpu has better lithography and a more efficient architechture thus better performance

Amd gpu works fine on any brand
