New/Old Pc Build!

[LordGabenSweg]

Hey guys, Sorry for posting a lot but heres my new/old pc, The reason why i say new/old pc is because i am going to be using some of the old parts from my pc. the motherboard & PSU blew due to loadshedding (if you live in south africa you may know what this is) but anyway, I decided why not upgrade. So here it is, 

 

CPU: Intel i7 4790, The reason i am not getting the K model is because its quite a bit more and i have no need in overclocking.

 

GPU GTX 760 OC

 

Ram: A mix of crucial (2x4) from my old pc & some new crucial gaming stuff mixed, also 2X4. = 16gb

 

PSU: Antec 500W 80+ High Performance PSU, its good enough to get the job done.

 

Motherboard: MSI ZH87-G43, its decently priced & high quality.

 

Heatsync: The only thing im a bit worried about is this, Noctua NH-U12S, Can anyone tell me anything about it please?.

 

HD: A 250GB SSD + My old 1TB hd.

 

The rest i have , 22inch sinotech monitor , MS Sidewinder X4 keyboard & a Razer Abbysus mouse.

Do you even need an i7? If you dont do crazy CPU heavy stuff like 3D rendering etc then get an i5 4690k instead.

Upgrade the GPU to a 960 if you dont want to get a 970. Or 770 is good too, else go with 280 or 290 from AMD side

PSU is good enough for 1 GPU (I think it's not enough for 1 770 or 280 or 290 though), but it's too close for comfort, get a 650W or so would be much better.

If you dont OCing, then yeah, maybe change the CPU to a i5 4690 is ok too. Else you can get a MSI Gaming 3 or G45 Gaming motherboard instead.

Noctua heatsink is good, nuff said :3 You also have some other option like 212 Evo.

The resson for the I7 is because for the price of a 960 and i5 in South africa you would pay more than i would for that pc, The I7 is manly for future proofing the price is alot better if you look threw the website and i am dont really want to get a amd cpu ether. but in all if you look around the website i am getting the best value for performance .
