New Build

[Arturamc]

Hey guys,

I'm building a pc basically for gaming and I have about $1000

I dont plan to overclock it, so no K or Z needed and I already have a 1tb HDD

 

PSU: EVGA 750w 80 Plus Gold

CPU: i5-4460

GPU: Gigabyte gtx 970 g1 Gaming

RAM: 8gb(2x4gb) 1600MHz hyperX fury

SSD: 240gb kingston

Case: Cougar 67M3 solution

Mobo: H97 or B85 

 

What do you guys think? What should I change? Shoud I get a cpu cooler?

Looks fine. You dont need a cooler is you're getting a locked CPU. The case is odd, I would get something nicer, but what you picked out is a solid start.

As i'm using it just for playing, will the benefit of the i7-4790 worth the price?
