High-End Gaming PC

Scrappy- · March 22, 2015

Dear reader,

I would like to ask some help with my custom pc. I know how everything works etc. but I'm just wondering if there's something else on the market that I might've missed.

Here is my PC Part list:

I chose for the Bitfenix Ghost because according to reviews, it doesn't produce any noise what so ever.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry but

I dont consider a pc without a ssd "High End"

Besides that, downgrade your mobo and use that to get an ssd, and get a 290x

motherboard is WWAAAYYYY overkill... get a asus sabertooth and you will be happy (even there its a bit overkill)

Cheaper motherboard

You dont need such a high end motherboard for your purpose.

Use that money left over to buy an SSD

How you know this isn't a high end build. The motherboard costs more than the cpu itself and almost more than the gpu. Also, no ssd, get 1600mhz ram with cas 9, it's cheaper, and at least gold rated psu for any high end build(if possible)

Show off to whom? The majority of people cant tell what price the motherboard was at a short glance

Power supply is junk. Get something decent from the likes of Seasonic, XFX, EVGA (Superflower/Seasonic) etc.

Get an aftermarket cooler.

No point getting a fancy board, and colour matching in a non windowed case.

No SSD ?

That motherboard is still a bit on the high end for his purposes

Thanks to all who replied to my post,

Some clearifications:

The mobo is 2/3 of the price of the CPU in my country, IDK why it's so expensive on PCPartpicker, but im from europe.

Secondly, I wanted to create as much possibilities to upgrade in the future without too much of a hassle.

Thirdly, I chose for this mobo because of the easy overclocking.

And lastly, I've read articles and saw some youtube videos that the i5-4690K is really easily overclocked to 4.6GHz. Yes I know I can't rely on that, but this gives me a slight edge in the future.

Hope this might help with the choises I've made.

Thanks to you all again
