All together £1230

Would that system run 4k games on 1 4k monitor and 2 normal, all 27" monitors?  I not sure about SSD are they worth of getting them? Also if I am missing any hardware parts please tell me.

Personally would get a 4790k and drop the AMD

[drewjn]

Amd cpu for low budget, intel cpu otherwise. i5 4690k if gaming primarily, i7 4790k if for also professional or streamung. Xeons, or more than 4 cores are not needed.

Mobo is simple and most value z97s, willwith sli/crossfire, will be able to manage just as good as highet end. Z97a or gigabyte z97 sli is fine.

Ram at 1600 or 1866 is fine any higher is not really worth it for gaming, due to cas latency being higher, plus it just doesn't really affect you in this case.

For 4k, dual gpus are required, so sli 970s or 980s, or 290s in amd, your choice.

I heavily suggest getting a 125 or 250 gb ssd for boot. The performance speaks for itself.

[SuperPug]

Never buy a FX-9590...

I make the best builds god damn it.

Intel is the way to go for highend gaming.

Seems like your going for more flash than dash.

Zappians build is a much better build for less. There are plenty of variations that can be made for similar price and similar performance.

THIS ^

 

Though if you can afford another £100, get the 4790k, worth it IMO

 

EDIT: nicer case now

[bbrooking18]

@zappian your build is very good, for the OP I would go for a different case and an Evga 850G2 otherwise that build is excellent 

[zappian]

Swapped the case

[B4rt997]

Thank you guys for help @zappian and @ShadowCaptain I will get 4790k

[bbrooking18]

Swapped the case

Well you've certainly done an excellent job with that

[B4rt997]

@zappian for £600 would it better to get one of the GTX series for about £500-600? instead of 2 R9? 

[zappian]

No , just no.

 

Less performance .

[B4rt997]

@zappian would this system handle 4k gaming/ultra settings?

I'm unsure if 850 watts will be able to handle a 4790k and two 290s. That just seems a little tight. I would go for two 970s if it were my build, but since you're going for 4k, I would go for two 980s unless that's too expensive. And yes, SSDs are much worth it. Grab a cheap crucial mx100 or something for a boot drive at least. If you want to put games onto it, account for that when you choose a size.

Works fine tbh.

A lot of people run that.

[zappian]

nice build get this...... get a better case tough

 

Already switched to the define R4 m8.

 

Ninja ´ed

[B4rt997]

I agree with @msquare, @zappian can you get better case with air flow and so it looks cool. 

[zappian]

not just looking cool but a ton of airflow since the cards used are 290x's and those produce a ton of heat 

@zappian the circlejerker

 

I never like that word because it has many sexual implications and makes me uncomfortable.

[B4rt997]

@zappian what would you say about this
