new PC, is it the best deal i can get?

[SaulHeno]

So,im planning a build,my first one.

It totals to €998 ($1110.28)

• Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz 6MB S1150 Quad Core
• Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) HyperX Fury Black Series 1600MHz DDR3
• CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo
• Intel 120GB 535 Series 2.5" 7mm SATA 6Gb/s SSD
• Asus B85-PRO GAMER S1150 Intel B85 DDR3 ATX
• Corsair Carbide Series™ SPEC-01 RED LED Mid Tower Gaming Case
• Corsair 500W Builder Series CX 80+ Bronze ATX Power Supply
• CoolerMaster SickleFlow 120 Red LED Fan - 120mm, 2000RPM (x2 if i can)
• MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 3.0 TwinFrozr V

So is that a reasonable price for parts like those or can i get better parts for the same price?

 

Thanks in advance.

You could cut a little from mb and get a cheaper one and get an ssd from a-data(premier pro)

I would not get a cpu with a "k" at the end. you not going to overclock. not really worth it.

Why are you using a unlocked CPU with a B85 motherboard? Also, get a R9 280x if you can afford it.

 

 

And... please don't use any LED fans

You could get something quite a bit better, but do want to build it yourself or get a prebuild system?

 

The mobo doesnt make sense with that cooler and cpu.

 

Here is a config from one of my favorite shops, for the same price you get a z board, a gold certified psu, double the ssd capacity and a better gpu

for a prebuild system with warrenty.

that board can overclock, i have a simmilar build, the parts are well chosen.

[Ravener]

I would recommend getting the i5-4590 instead of the 4690, its about 50$ cheaper and its pretty much the same cpu. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4690-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4590If you're okay with giving up that .1 performance, which tbh i don't think you really need.

Can you not overclock a chip with a K on the end?if not i will go with Ravener if that can..

The website i use (cause its irish and closer than most others) does not sell Adata SSD'S...

Nah ,i like doing things myself,dont know why...

[SaulHeno]

Wait im confused on the CPU and MOBO now can they not overclock?I thought sice it was a "Gaming" motherboard it would 

 

Thanks for the quick responses btw already loving this forum

Don't buy anything with the word gaming in it. It is misleading

i know but i seen a review (

) and that said it was really good for the price (€115 or $127) so i immediately went for it... (and since most gamers overclock I thought a "gaming" one would)

Thanks just shaved off €50!

Why dosent that make sense?

[Rolling Potatoe]

Why dosent that make sense?

The k in the processor means its got an unlocked multiplier, which means you can overclock it properly.

On Intel Motherboards you also need a Z chipset to change the cpu multiplier, so pairing an expensive unlocked cpu

with a good cooler for oerclocking and a motherboard that wont let you overclock is just wasting money.

 

So either get a Z97 Motherboard and overclock or save some money with an i5-4590 as Ravener suggested.

Also as MrChavelo suggested a 280x 3 gb is probably cheaper than a 960 4gb and performs a good bit better.

Do you have any reccomendations for a Z97 around €100 ($111) and the GTX 960 is cheaper than the 280x ,matches the red theme and looks nicer.

 

 

UPDATE: I found a nice Z97 board (Gigabyte Z97X-SLI) for €123 ($136)
