CUT

The overclock on the CPU will not make up for anything. Your budget seems to be about $1250, yes?

 

You could always get a worse CPU (4460), not overclock (no Z97) and get a really kick ass GPU. Like the 280X, 290, or 970/290X if enough money is saved.

Maybe you should read my post instead. I asked for opinions on what PC I should get from the two in my original post... :P

Maybe your original buids aren't squeezing max performance out of the budget? You still should follow these guidelines as it makes us giving you feedback MUCH easier.

 

For all I know you want to play GTA V at 4k Ultra 120FPS.... Unless you tell us what you want, we can't help you.

 

Please read my previous post.

Things I did.

 

  • Took out the SSD. For a budget orientated build an SSD isn't what you need.
  • Better GPU. MUCH BETTER!

And I managed to keep it in your budget :D
