Build

[Kooby]

Hi

Is this build good for gaming?

Is anything expensive?

Does this build have everything I need?

Not looking to expand the build...buy more parts later on

Is there something that I should remove?

Is there something that I should add?

You can get much cheaper Windows keys on G2A or Reddit.com/r/hardwareswap BTW

That's true. Really no reason to buy 2 4GB sticks at this point.

This, would get a beefier PSU though

what are you talking about. a 550 wat psu can power enough for a i5 4690k and a 970

I have that mobo don't buy it

[Shin-Gouki]

 

what are you talking about. a 550 wat psu can power enough for a i5 4690k and a 970

 

 

Why get an underpowered PSU that's going to hold you back upgrade wise if for a little bit more you can get one with some more oomph. 

[Weak1ings]

BUY 280

He started it...  Just to be clear, the 960 is faster but has less VRAM than the 960. 

 

I'd suggest a non Hitachi Hard drive due to high failure rates from that brand in the hard drive sector.

are you kidding me. xfx is one of the best companies for psu's also 550 wat is more than enough...

To each their own

NOT GOING TO UPGRADE 

[TechyNoob]

You could get rid of the optical drive and just download the OS and any other games. Also i wouldn't reccomend the 960 2gb, soon games will need more than 2 gigs of vram. Plus if you're going gaming just focus the big bucks on the cpu and gpu instead of kinda just mixing it in, and also i'm pretty sure you can get wifi adaptors half that price
