Is this a good pc to run 1080p games and upcoming ones?

[TiCKLZ]

Hi guys,

I'm going to build a pc  around 750/800€ and I would like to know your thoughts.

 

 

Here are the specs:

 

NOX NX200

ASRock B85 Killer

Intel Core i5 4690

NOX Hummer H-100

G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB DDR3

Seagate 1TB

Ps:jet 500W

MSI R9 290 TwinFrozr OC

 

Will this be a good 'budget' machine?

Would you change anything? If so, why?

 

Let me know what you think, thank you

 

 

[niofalpha]

All I have to say is use www.pcpartpicker.com

 

And yes. Should be suffice for a few years.

[projectmayhem]

Definitely. Should last you for a while.

[NeatSquidYT]

Definitely

[Laputacake]

No to that PSUm its a fire hazard

[Aniallation]

Ps:jet 500W

MSI R9 290 TwinFrozr OC

Do not run a generic 500W with an R9 290.

[TheDeadGhost]

Intel Core i5 4690

 

Why not the 4690K? You might not want to overclock right now but in the future you might regret not getting it.

[ForsakenLive]

Change that PSU and you are fine.

[orangecat]

It will play 1080P and upcoming games but as with all hardware there is always a limit to how hard you can push things before the FPS dropps below 60.

[TiCKLZ]

So many responses, thanks guys

In response to the CPU question, I guess I'm getting the 4690 cause i don't think i'm going to overclock in the future.

And the PSU, I put that one cause it is a little cheaper but I'm also looking at the NOX Urano SX500, do anyone has good experiences with this one? Will it last?

[JustinBieber]

Get a premium PSU

why 600w? I think 500 its more than enough... 

I would like that cooler but my budget doesn't allow that :c

[MLGNOSCOPEHEADSHOTGETREKT]

AMD Recommends at least 600w for a 290 

Also Dat PSU has fir hazards

Yes

corsair cx psu is a much more reliable. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600

keep that cpu cooler http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

No need for an aftermarket cooler on intel chips if they aren't going to overclock (which this cpu can't). But can't agree more with changing the PSU, definitely go with a good make and model.

[Sauron]

Yes, it's very good. I have to warn you though, there's no such thing as future proof. Your build seems pretty balanced to me, but if you're ever tempted to spend more than you need to hoping it will "last longer", don't do it. Getting what you need and upgrading later is always the best choice.

That's only half true: not many people know this, but even "locked" cpus actually have a little headroom in the multiplier. z-series chipsets allow to raise the multiplier up to the maximum even in non-k cpus. For starters, every cpu that has turbo boost has the potential to run with all cores at the turbo multiplier. Most cpus also allow to raise it a bit more. My core i7 2600, for example, can reach a multiplier of 42 from the base of 34. You won't get 6Ghz out of them, but investing in a cheap aftermarket cooler can make sense.

Sure but if the user doesn't have any interest in overclocking (which why would you with the i5-4690k) and doesnt find it worth it to spend the extra money on the K series then might as well run stock. Nothing wrong with running stock. I agree it can make sense depending on the user however.

I just think that a cheap cooler can make the cpu run smoother and a little less hotter than usual even if you're not thinking of overclocking it

That's what I want to do, keep upgrading the machine

It's not about the power output, it's that the CX PSU won't catch fire and this generic one will

I've seen my i5 4440 start throttling at full load with the ambient temperature at 27^oC with the stock cooler. Getting an aftermarket cooler isn't a bad idea, and computer components run more efficiently at lower temperatures, so if you have the budget, buy one.

Yup.

Sure but the maximum temperature allowable on the new intel processors coupled with how cool they run because of new optimizations means that even in a fairly high ambient temperature, you still won't get within 10-15 degrees celsius of the max under normal use.
