A New PC Question

Hey There.

I'm looking for a new PC and i don't know if i make in it right.

I thought about buying this list of items

 

Motherboard: ASRock Z97 LGA 1150 Anniversary

 

PSU: EVGA Certified 80PLUS 500W ATX

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K LGA 1150 processor 3.5 GHz

 

VGA: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4 GB GDDR5 graphics card

 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB ( 2x8GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz

 

I want to play recent games like The Witcher 3 at 1080p or Crysis 3 at same ress with everything maxed out

i don't know if with this items i can do that

and i don't know if i can reduce more cost without reduce performance

sorry for my bad english

First, do you actually plan to overclock? Second, what frame rate are you looking to achieve? You could probably get away with 8GB of RAM, instead of outright purchasing 16GB. It saves you money, and leaves room for upgrading later on if you actually need that much RAM.

if you are going to OC i would suggest an aftermarket CPU Cooler (Hyper 212 EVO is the best for it's price point atm) also dont forgot the monitor you gonna get. you dont to have an awesome build then get a lousy monitor that wont utilize your system.

maxed out including anti-aliasing? no...almost, but not quite.

Then I would forgo the 4690K in favor of the normal 4690. It'll save you something like 25-30USD.

if you are not planning to OC, i suggest you to downgrade to an i5 4460 and an H97 MoBo. but if you want to OC in the future, just keep the current CPU and MoBo. also i agree with @Godlygamer23 to go for an 8 GB of ram, since most games are fine with it, and you got room for an upgrade.

i say like the other guys:

i5-4460 or i5-4590 or something like that..

Cheap H97 board

8GB of DDR3 (cheap, speed won't matter)

Then dump all your money on the graphics card...if possible swing for a GTX 980ti...this one will max out those games full anti-aliasing and all the eye candy at 80+fps consistently.

no AA? what i need for the AA?

you can use 2xMSAA on crysis 3 with all settings maxed out and get around 50 to 60 FPS...if that's good to you then the GTX 970 you'll like...you just have to tweak SOME settings but very little...even GTA 5 you can run nearly maxed out on a 970 if you aim for 60FPS...it's a strong GPU...but those modern AAA titles and VERY hard to max out...even at 1080p...that's all i'm saying...i run those titles perfectly fine on my GTX 780 which is even a slight bit slower than a 970 and i'm perfectly happy with it and i'm picky...

great, but if it's not to improve on GPU and you can afford the unlocked i5-4690K and Z97 board stick with it it will last you longer.
