Hi everyone.

I've lost count on how many times I've said this is the final build then changed something at the last minute. I now hope this is the final build. I've linked the PC below. If like your honest thoughts on the machine please. If I were to play a game like GTA 5 at max settings, what FPS do you think I can get?

One other thing. My uncle has asked if the i5 4690k will be enough? All the research I have done makes it seem like the ideal processor. What do y'all think? Will the i5 hold the PC's performance back? Would I be worth while getting a i7 processor. I'll only be gaming, watching/downloading movies, listening to music and web surfing.

Thanks.

gr8 build m8 i r8 69/69

 

You can do GTA Ultra settings 8x msaa @ 1080P 60+ FPS Easy

 

Maybe turn down some settings @ 1440p

 

Medium settings @ 4K

What do you think about the CPU? I'm probably going to keep it at stock speed so I'll change it to the model without the 'K'. I've been told there's an i7 processor for about the same money for the i5 4690K? Do you know of this?

Yes. If you're not going to overclock, get an i5-4460, but the Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 performs the same as an i7-4790, without integreated graphics.

Try this out.. Cheaper but very good (and a bit more efficient) PSU, Cheaper and slightly faster RAM, Cheaper version of the same case, just without optical drive bay (your not getting one anyway) and no OS Because:

DONT BUY RETAIL OS. it's a waste of money. goto /r/microsoftsoftwareswap and get a key there for 25 bucks or around 22 pounds

 

 

Try this out..

Check out OCUK deals.. that GPU should be a little cheaper.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

Unfortunately it's not as cheap in the UK

4460? Not the 4690? Is it ok the get a CPU with no integrated graphics if you're getting s good GPU? Does it matter?

The performance between the 4460 and 4690 isn't big. Might as well get the cheaper one.

 

Yes its perfectly fine to get a CPU with a good GPU. Heck, you can get a $30 GPU and use that
