MSI Z97-GAMING-5 EDIT (MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX )

 

Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5Ghz

 

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

 

HyperX Fury Series 16GB (2X8GB) - White

 

Gigabyte GTX970 G1 GAMING SOC 4GB GDDR5 

 

Antec 620M HCG

[JustChilliing]

I didn't know the R5 could take DVD drives. Or that people included them anymore!

 

And I'm assuming Antec 620M HCG is the PSU. I've never heard of them! :mellow:

[Evolved_Evil]

Im not a fan of that psu but I like the rest of the build.

[Guest]

Antec power supplies are fine (That one is made by Seasonic)

[APasz]

Why the 16gb RAM?

Im not a fan of that psu but I like the rest of the build.

Why is that?

i would go with the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 for the PSU. Just a little bit more expensive for more wattage and nicer cables!

The rest of the build is perfect!

Actually, that PSU is worse than the one listed in the OP.

PSU listed in OP is a Seasonic rebrand.

NEX series is not good in general (650w fails 80+ Gold)

Very nice build, should consider a r9 390 tho

The PSU is good and for a good price

I think the mobo is a little bit overkill and you could go something to fit your theme better

Take a look at this one

You know the 390 is a 290 but $100 more.

Perfect! It was hard finding a affordable B/W mobo so i went with the gaming 5.

Thanks!!

... i dunno your prices in isreal my friend .. but this is my build on a 1500 budget ... + monitor later on/

[Evolved_Evil]

Why is that?

The reliability of that psu isn't too hot.

Heard a lot of them die within the first month or are even DOA.

Fan on it is loud and may begin to click after a bit of use.

uses 135mm fan so its really hard to replace..

Unfortunately the prices here are higher because of taxes but no use in complaining about it.

 

and that build wouldn't work too well for me  my mobo is more expensive and a Z97, you have a 120GB SSD instead of 256GB, your CPU doesn't match my needs , I don't like that PSU, and I had a bad experience with the barracuda. Overall I think my build is better. (for me that is)

 

and matching everything to my color scheme was a pain in the ass.

lol. Well there is that.

try and look for some local stores to buy some parts from if taxes are too high for ordering things online.

They imrproved the 390x. It's basically now a 980 for $100 less, that kicks ass at 1440p and above.
