Plz evaluate the rig for gaming.

[Gargantua]

Hi

how are you all?

Plz evaluate my rig its the first of mine what i'm building on my own

i'm in to computers and stuff for long time but never built custom rig before.

 

i7 4790k

vengeance 1600 bus 8gb

asus R9-270X

corsair H100i 

coolermaster cosmos SE

corsair VS 550watts (i've calculated my need and i don't need more then 500watts. so don't thing much. LOL)

intel 335 240gbs

seagate barracuda 7200rpm 3TB.

 

Evaluate this rig for normal home video editing like camcorder movies and mid to high end gaming . like far cry 4 and call of duty , BF4.

i mostly do single player gaming coz honestly i don't have time for MP.

needs better gpu imo

[TheSLSAMG]

Spending too much on the CPU and case, not enough on the GPU.

 

What is your budget and where do you live?

Agreed. Tell us OP and we'll duke it out.

[ESPclipse]

It's really good, but I would suggest R9 280X or better if you can afford it

[gilm0re3]

For only short home video editing a 4690k would be just fine. The i7 is only really beneficial when you do lots of video editing and rendering. Also, a better gpu with the money you save from the cpu would be much more beneficial for gaming. 

[IMPERIUS]

Rather get an i5 k-series cpu and a 290 if its in your budget. And do you really need that case? If you want a good case take a look at the enthoo pro (which is a full sized case) or the define r4/5 (midi tower)

For gaming? You dont need an i7 and your GPU is shit.

Invest in a better GPU and downgrade to an i5.

290 looks hideous man and also as i read reviews are not good on cooling .

The Cosmos II seems to be the only available case on PCPartPicker. And it will eat up most of that budget.

[Gargantua]

ok. recommend one with ROG colors , coz i already bought maximus 7 ranger .

[IMPERIUS]

Yes, the stock cooler is shit. But you won't use the stock cooler, will you? And are you buying your system for decoration or for performance?

i can buy SE on local store for 164 bucks. don't worry .

The i5 to i7 jump isn't necessary if you're just editing home-made camcorder videos.

 

However, if you really want it, it is what it is. Luckily for you, there is a Micro Center in Brooklyn. They have pretty damn fantastic CPU and motherboard pricing, so an i7 and board from Micro Center will cost as much as an i5 and the same board from let's say Newegg.

 

I cannot find anyone who still sells the Cosmos SE, so I replaced it.

 

You have a fair bit of cash to play around with, so I saw it fit to do an i7 with 16GB RAM, dual GTX 970s and such. You can pull one GTX 970 or replace them both with 290Xes if you want to go that way.

actually i'm going to buy CPU from micro downtown .

[Tonylu1595]

To be honest, if this was a purely gaming build, it would suck. Around 30 percent of a gaming build goes to a GPU. That means a GTX 980 for you.

[Gargantua]

how much did you get it for so I can add it to the list

$205 and don't include it without that 1800 bucks ....here you go bro. now give me some .

[flibberdipper]

I put the Cosmos II in. Not a very good use of the money.

EDIT: Woulda been great to know what you already had and what you can get some things for.  :mellow: 

[TheSLSAMG]

Alright, sounds good. I also saw you already have a Z97 Ranger? You can use the money freed up by that to get a copy of Windows. I would also recommend maybe getting a single GTX 980 instead, this way you have a more open upgrade path in the future.
