JoaoPRSousa · February 23, 2015

You probably need a new case (a better one) and a new PSU.

Regardless, what will you use the PC for?

Are you thinking of getting more monitors?

HmmR · February 23, 2015

only 1 monitor and probably ill never be getting one more monitor i want it air cooled no watercooling

KarlFFF · February 23, 2015

I can't find much info on your case (like space for running cables, dust filter etc.) but from the few pictures I can find from a quick search it seems fine. That said an ugrade might be appropriate for better cable management options, airflow and dust filtering.

for around 1000$ I'd go for:

cheap motherboard with a z97 chipset

i5-4690k and give it an overclock to 4.0 ghz with stock cooler

gtx970

Some cheap 8gb of ram 1600 mhz or higher (for the cheapes 8 gb set the mhz doesn't matter much when you pass 1600)

A HDD for your files and if you can squeze it in then also an SSD for the os

Maybe a better PSU though it should be able to power this there isn't much head room

Joshua Ondangan · February 23, 2015

i7 haswell refresh K or non K

cheapest H97 or z97 motherboard you can find (z97 if you go K series)

gtx 970 and some cheapest 8gb 1600mhz cl9 ram you can find.

edit: btw dending on where you buy in my place a gtx 780 is 100 bucks cheaper than a 970 at least depending on brand (it's brand new too) so depending on where you are buying if you can save more with going the 780 route go with it. the gtx 780 still performs like a fucking rock star.

120gb ssd I kinda like the intel ones but they tend to be more expensive than other brands in different places. something like samsung or crucial are good.

seagate 2tb hdd the st2000 something works for good storage to what you can do.

your psu seems fine but which company made it? brand and oem if you have info on it.

Think getting an i7 is a bad idea if the main point is gaming and occasional photoshop. The main reason to go for i7 over i5 should be hyper-threading as the k series overclock pretty equal and stock speeds are also very equal. So $100+ for i7 over i5 is hard to justify for gaming.

what you're saying is true but overall I don't know where he is buying maybe if he can fit an i7 without sacrificing anything would be good but if he has to sacrifice other parts then going i5 is a wiser choice.

That seems pretty good. I would say that you need some large storage drive as 120 gb is good for OS and programs, but will run out quickly when you start installing games. If you have a sata HDD that you can put in it then that should be fine.

You'll need some rams to but if you have a HDD around you can use you should be able to find 8gb to fit in the budget. It would be a hard sacrifice but if you need to cut costs to fit a HDD and ram I'd personally consider an gtx 970 over the 980.

I'd go for a high end air cooler over the Corsair H80i, they are generally cheaper quieter and does just as well because the AIO coolers don't have a reservoirs. So only go for the AIO coolers if you like the looks, though personally I think the vapor pipes and shiny metal looks way better.

Think I'd also shave some costs from the case and ad it to the graphics card and get a 970

I'd go for the i5-4690k over the i7-4790k if there is no plans of doing editing or other multicore processing jobs. Games mainly use a single core and the hyperthreading will then just be a waste, additionally the i5 OCs to 4.0ghz with stock cooler with out a sweat and reaches similar OCs to the i7. The $100+ gained from going for the i5 could be well spent on a 120gb SSD for the OS

You're right, but he said he'll use Photoshop... But the i5 does a great job in it anyways :lol:
