Its a good build but be warned. z87/h87 boards needs a BIOS update to support the 4790k/4690k/g3258

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Everything looks good except for the Motherboard and processor. If you get a z97 board, you will be able to upgrade to a newer processor in the future. The Pentium will do the job for now, but you may want to spend the extra $50 to get a z97 board.

Dem links though ಠ_ಠ

Either way, I would probably change that CPU for an i3, because it seems like that Pentium is actually bottlenecking GPU's in some games (because dual core stuff).

Not gonna bash on the memory, because it seems so inexpensive..

Rest seems fine

Slight bottleneck with processor, shouldn't be too big when you overclock.

 

2x4GB of RAM would help.

 

Otherwise, awesome build. (Besides the fact the support for Dual Cores in games is starting to end so it's not future proof at all)

There is no such thing as Future Proof, as there is no what of telling what will come in the future to prepare for it.

 

Looks pretty good, though I'd get a Z97 board if possible for upgrading your cpu in the future, along with better OC support.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

If he gives it a decent oc then it should be fine.

Except for the fact games are starting to not support/not run well on dual cores.

At the moment I guess, but games will take advantage of quad cores later. 

You can't make a future proof build with a dual core, IMHO

if you want future proofing I would invest in a better mobo(even if it does not impact performance much) so you will never have to buy a new one, maybe you can get a 280x or 960 instead to put more money into a motherboard, the gpu is usually upgraded often so you can always upgrade that later along with the cpu, other then that it looks solid.

Broke 14 Year old + No job + Love for Technology = Bad combo :(

There's nothing wrong with the GPU, RAM or PSU..

$600 future proof. No one says it is wrong. Where did you come from?

You striked through components.. Your post really wasn't clear.

 

I came from before you were here...

Get a Z97 chipset base on your cost. If no budget probably x99.

Recommending someone to get X99 with no budget yet he's building a $600 computer. Lmao

Strike doesn't mean wrong. It can be unnecessary or not recommended.

 

Learn to think.

Bruh all you need to do is be more clear.

 

I read perfectly fine.

 

He obviously has a budget if he is building a $600 computer.. So how about you learn to read?
