Build a PC under $780

Don't bother with an i5 4590k. get something cheaper and get a better GPU but that is my opinion.

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Can i use Intel G3258 anniversary edition instead of 4690k

 

 

 

Battlefield 4 uses multiple cores, the G3258 will not run it well.

 

i5 4430, i5 4440, i5 4460.... look for these.  As far as GPU try for a R9 280.  I know prices are different, so an R9 270 is fine too.  If the GTX 960 is cheaper than the R9280 (which it is not), go with that.

Hello i want to build a gaming pc under my budget of $780 . Please advice me some good performace graphic cards , processor and motherboard also with cpu fans and Power management. I have monitor and other stuff . Thanks in advance

 

Here is a something uner $780 USD.

The bad.

 

The CPU is only a Dual-Core, BUT it only cost $65 and it is the reason you could get the nice GTX970. You will need to upgrade this later.

 

The CPU will bottleneck your GPU, but not too too bad. Plus you are going to upgrade this CPU later when you save up again.

 

The good.

 

It's in your budget, and is still going to perform very well.

 

You don't need a CPU cooler, the g3258 can overclock with the stock cooler NO PROBLEM. This is where more $$ is saved to buy the nice graphics card.

 

Here are some examples of this setup running Battlfield 4 on Ultra. There might be more videos out there, go check around.

 

Don't forget, the CPU is also recording these games while playing them, so you might see a little bit more FPS as well. :)

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

Here are some more videos.

I can spend $470(Maximum) on Graphic card and  $550(Maximum) for processor, Memory, motherboard, cooling fans, chassis and power.Now tell me?

This is the maximum cost i can spend 

 

I don't understand what you are saying.  :)

 

CPU:  Try for the cheapest i5, i3 if you really have to.  Run the stock cooling fan.

RAM:  Cheapest DDR3 you can find, 1333 or 1600, does not matter.

Motherboard:  Cheapest you can find, but if you get a Haswell Refresh (i5 4460) you are going to want an H97 not the H81/B85. 

Storage:  Cheapest 1 TB at 7200 RPM.

PSU:  Get something decent.  Look at reviews.

GPU:  Spend whatever you have left on the GPU... GTX 750ti< R7 265< R9 270< R9 280/GTX 960< R9 280X< R9 290< R9 290X< GTX 970< GTX 980< GTX 980ti< TITAN!

If you wait about 2 weeks, the 970s might go down in price. No garantee, but the new AMD cards come out then, might cause the 970s to drop in price. $30-40? Idk. but could help save some money. (for shipping costs)

GPU : EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 970 4GB

Motherboard : AZ97-Pro

CPU : Intel Core i5 4690k (4x3.5GHz)

RAM : 8 Gb DDR3 1600 MHz

Storage : 1 Tb at 7200 RPM

PSU : ????

 

Tell me about above configuations. Shall i build it? 

Also advice me PSU

Thanks

 

For a single GTX 970, a 450W-550W is fine.  If you want to add another 970 later, go to a 650W.

 

In the USA, the EVGA Supernova GS 650W Gold Certified Fully Modular is the best deal right now ($80).

If you do not plan to over clock the CPU, go with a core i5 4590 and an R9 280.

yes i am going to overclock GPU and CPU . As suggested by strconquest R9 280<GTX 970. So i decided to build cpu mentioned above with 650 watt PSU .

Suggest me some Cooling System required while overclocking.

 

Big case (mid tower), lots of air moving.  I have 7 case fans and I live in Canada.  In early spring, I can open my window and my CPU temperature drops 10-12 degrees.

 

For CPU cooling, you might want to look at water because it is hot in India.  If not water, the biggest tower cooler you can afford.
