I have recently gone on and put together this build on PCPartPicker. The PC I want is to be able to play games at their fullest settings (ultra settings) and to be able to properly work on professional stuff like Autodesk and video editing/rendering. After showing my friends they say that certain parts of the build and he build in general is not worth the price. But after researching some of the components it seems like it is. I have no idea which to believe. Please comment down below with your thoughts on this build and/or how to make it better.

Budget will help to know if it is worth the price. But seeing a lot of it, some of the parts in it are bad choices

Change Mobo to Z97 SLI Krait, and graphics card to 980Ti. And if you wanna max out games at 1440p/144Hz, you're gonna need 4-way 980Ti SLI.

[EthKomet]

I am fine saving up for this amount however I dont want to have to save much more

[Frost Byte]

I think so. I'd say get rid of the PB28Q if you're going to use it as a secondary monitor, and get a cheaper 1080P monitor. And if you can get rid of the second monitor completely go for a 980TI if possible if you want to run your games better at a 1440p resolution.

LOL

2 980ti's can do it.

this build is unbalanced as fuck

Switching to the 980TI would bring me outside the price I willing to save for. Im fine getting what its currently at and slightly more but I dont want to go much higher

See with this second monitor I was wanting a 4k for doing fine work in professtional programs

Not at full 144Hz

[Sam Z Man]

Not worth the price at all, so many little things that are completely unesisary that drive up the coast.

[Swndlr]

Not at full 144Hz

Lol ok buddy whatever floats your boat.

[EthKomet]

The processor is fine, but you could probably get a 4770k for less, the liquid cooler is not needed if you are not OCing, get a gigabyte board and save yourself some money or maybe MSI, 980 eh I'd go 980ti or a 970 sli or 280x or 290x crossfire for the cad work, save yourself some money and get a windows key and iso off reddit, and I feel 100+ keyboards are pointless unless you are doing some form of gaming that needs the response.

I will be OCing and I am hardcore gaming. Also again the 980TI is a very expensive card

[mroz10]

But the 980 is NOT worth the money. Might as well just get a 970 for now and save for 980Ti

It's expensive because it's good. The 980 is NOT worth it.

[Sam Z Man]

Not at full 144Hz

Bro dual 980's can hit 90-120 fps on ultra 1440p, dual 980ti's can hit 130-150 no problem.

[EthKomet]

But the 980 is NOT worth the money. Might as well just get a 970 for now and save for 980Ti

See from a lot of people ik from school and gaming they say that the 980 would be worth for now.

1. get 2x8 gb not 4x4 gb, so you have room to expand

2. get a Z97 board

3. get a samsung 850 evo not pro, those are way too expensive

4. get a nicer case, like the corsair 230T

5. get a 980 Ti

6. make sure that your version of windows has a free upgrade to windows 10

Well they don't know much then because since the release of the 980ti the 980 is a dumb buy. For just a little more you can SLI 970s or get a 980ti, both outperform the 980 for just a little more.

Would the extra $30-40 be worth getting the superclocked 980TI or not

I would agree completely with mikat. There's no point in getting a z87 when z97 in newer and not much different in price. 850 pro is not necessary, evo is great and has a much better price to performance value. Corsair cases are great. 980 is in a weird place right now, where someone can just save a little more for the 980ti and get considerably higher performance over the 980.

i r8 8/8

Would the extra $30-40 be worth getting the superclocked 980TI or not

It could. EVGA will probably hand pick better chips to put into the super-clocked cards, but their is still the possibility of getting a crappy overclocking chip no matter what.

For the love of everything when you share a build with us share the build list not the saved build, we can't change anything!

Is that PSU really reliable? I've never used Seasonic.
