1080p gaming set up!

hi guys and admins. if i can't actually do this or im in the wrong section just take it down...(please don't)  

anyway i was hoping to get some input on the build im putting together

 

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/LCbxvK 

 

here's the link to my pc part picker i choose this combination for strictly 1080p gaming on maxed out settings.

with a red and white combination, at (hopefully) 2000 dollars. i got the g3258 instead of the i7 is because most benchmarks seem to be set on that 2 cores are enough for most games to run i havent really seen any games that i play that seem to benefit from 4 cores. 

fyi i play alot of bf4, alot of simulators and strategy games and i do plan on getting fallout 4 and got gta 5 but its slow to run on my off the shelf pc

 

 

i was wondering if anyone has any tips for better bang for your buck performance items please let me know.

i got the the g3258 instead of the devils canyon because i do plan on overclocking.

 

so thanks for your input and thanks for reading 

 

Ok so i think the link works now.

While I don't know the budget and the Link is dead, I do know that a Pentium G3258 (and any dual core) will experience more frequent frame rate tanks than a i3 or i5 CPU as well as being significantly slower.  I can't recommend it for 1080p maxes. 

GPU:  GTX 960 or 280X.  It's up to you, the 280X is faster and both will max out a lot of titles in 1080p

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

You can get better performance from an I3 or an I5 as most games need more logical cores these days

You will also encounter problems with games that are highly dependent on more threads

But I don't know your budget, so I can't really tell

This build is making my eyes hurt (sort of)

 

-You can get better performance from an I5 even if Pentium is OC'd

-Overpriced, Overkill and Bad PSU choice

-You don't need 16GB of RAM in gaming as you only need 8

-Motherboard can be cheaper

Heyyo,

Well, with an Intel G3258 you HAVE to overclock it to get performance tbh...

BUT... to Max out graphics at 1920x1080 and have an average fps over 60? You'd need this as a minimum:

Otherwise? You can step down the CPU to an i3 and yeah, still get decent performance... but for GPU for near max at 1920x1080 and maintain 60fps? You'd want an NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD R9 390 which are both around the same price and performance too.

Oh, and pick out your own case and stuff... NZXT S340 is smexy... but I freaking love the Fractal Design Define S.

[EDIT1]

OOOPS! picked wrong mobo lol updated to Z97.

Heyyo,

 

Why is the 4690k on an H97 MoBo?

Already fixed it brah. F5. :P

Here's what I'd recommend for near-max settings for 1920x1080 @ 60fps average.

EVGA ACX 2.0 can overclock pretty darn good, so you could overclock the GPU at least.

@masterpips

I agree in everything except the 16gb part. Some people have needed 16gb to even run GTA V because they've complained about low FPS but added even just 4gb of ram and it fixed everything. I highly suggest 12gb minimum now a days because games are already suggesting 8gbs.

You can also get a cheaper air cooler if you want to

You can also get a cheaper GPU, I just picked the 390x so you can use it for future upgrades

The case will be quite subjective due to preferences

Yeah, I agree but I don't really know what the OP plays

Go with this, looks good.

When I saw his build, I thought you came up with it..

Good lord that thing would have been a waste of money, it's so unbalanced

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

That is so unbalanced!  xD

ok so why is everyone telling me this is unbalanced. i picked out the mobo simply because i like the msi logo its just e statics, and im not buying the 120 dollar more expensive 390x because with a little overclock on the 390 its the exact same card in my opinion

There are cheaper msi boards with the same label that are cheaper with less features that you will actually use compared to the one you selected.

Secondly most people suggest i5 as they are better options for gaming in general especially if you play battlefield a notorious cpu killer.

Thirdly most people are switching out corsair vengeance pro ram as it is only more expensive due to the heat spreader and provides no actually benefit to the user.

Fourth being able to overclock a 390 does not make it equal a 390x. You can still overclock a 390x. My personal opinion would be to grab a 970/980/980ti though.

Lastly many people switched out the psu as it is overkill and overpriced.

If you are gonna make a bottle build then atliest make sure it can play all games! :(

 

Get Athlon X4 860K and a FM2+ Motherboard that does not need BIOS update! :D

 

But really even FX-6300 is better than Pentium! :P

ok so why is everyone telling me this is unbalanced. i picked out the mobo simply because i like the msi logo its just e statics, and im not buying the 120 dollar more expensive 390x because with a little overclock on the 390 its the exact same card in my opinion

You are spending far too much on the psu and cooler, and not enough on the cpu. You should also have an SSD as well.

hi guys and admins. if i can't actually do this or im in the wrong section just take it down...(please don't)  

anyway i was hoping to get some input on the build im putting together

 

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/LCbxvK 

 

here's the link to my pc part picker i choose this combination for strictly 1080p gaming on maxed out settings.

with a red and white combination, at (hopefully) 2000 dollars. i got the g3258 instead of the i7 is because most benchmarks seem to be set on that 2 cores are enough for most games to run i havent really seen any games that i play that seem to benefit from 4 cores. 

fyi i play alot of bf4, alot of simulators and strategy games and i do plan on getting fallout 4 and got gta 5 but its slow to run on my off the shelf pc

 

 

i was wondering if anyone has any tips for better bang for your buck performance items please let me know.

i got the the g3258 instead of the devils canyon because i do plan on overclocking.

 

so thanks for your input and thanks for reading 

 

Ok so i think the link works now.

 

op, follow your thread! you done effed up by getting the g3258. rookie move.

i wouldn't recommend getting the hyper 212 evo to overclock a 4690k. it's not powerful enough to get a serious overclock.

cores get up to 85 degrees Celsius on a 4.0 ghz oc @ 1.20 v after 10 min of prime 95 with a 212 evo. i'm just not impressed.

You can run that cpu on a $40 motherboard.

That is a stress test with the cpu at 100% load. In real world usage it won't be that high.

i understand, but if anyone plans on overclocking with the hyper 212 evo, they will have to run stress tests with xtu in order to find stability. they will not be able to find stability with the highest possible overclock with that cooler. xtu will stress the cores hard, but not as hard as prime 95. that being said, a better cooling solution is needed imo.

 

will it work for those who aren't overclocking as using a 4690? of course. for those who will be overclocking, i just can't recommend it
