HI

 

This is going to be my first build and need help to check if the parts are compatible, I think they are but not sure. Here is the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/MARGARIN/saved/V3WLrH . If i should change some parts, tell me. But dont want the build to be more expensive. The parts have to be Black/Red

why do you have a 750watt psu with a 392watt system.

What do you want to do with it? For gaming an i5 is plenty. If you change the cpu to an i5 you have enough money to buy a 980

They will work fine. Without removing the 4790k (which really isnt needed but is kinda nice to say you have so I left for you), these are the very small changes I would make. I'm sorry I made it cost 6 more dollars, but you could change psu/mobo to fix that.

 

Also if you don't plan on using an optical drive buy a Fractal Design S instead of the R5 for about 20 dollars cheaper.

 

Adding the ssd that I did will massively insanely improve your daily use of the pc.

Right, well if you are ok with dumping the 4790k (which you really don't need). I'd recommend this build:

NOTE: The difference between the 390 and 390x isn't worth 100 dollars to me but idk if 4690k and 4790k is better imho. I would actually if it were me keep the 390 and the 4690k and just pocket the 100 dollars for anything else you might want (storage/sound/wifi/peripherals)

If you wanna add an SSD do so, I'd get a 120gb for now just for the OS and small games that don't use more then like 30gbs

if youre only gaming get the i5 4690k (it´s a beast). Only go i7 if you are going to be livestreaming/editing. And with the money saved you can buy an ssd!

Or use my link and get one anyways.

That is a super lolzy build. I mean it will work well, but lol. That's gross.

isn't the 2500k very old?

is the 390 better or worse then the 970?

[DarkBlade2117]

Care to explain how? The only possible thing wrong with it is not having an SSD but that's a luxury not a must.

yeah the 2500k is pretty old but still very good. It has great overclock capabilites and is certainly worth the price (if you can still find one lol)

[Curufinwe_wins]

About the same. It's worth getting the 390 for the 15 dollars you save for sure.

A luxury that actually makes more of a daily difference than even a 390x vs 980ti at all but 4k. It really is day and night. No but I wasn't talking about that. The build is completely functional, but hilariously out of balance. Why not a Design S?

The build,is out of balance? How so? The build is perfectly balanced. I find the Design S to be ugly. The NZXT h440 is better in my eyes in every way. You almost see no cables with it, cable management is easy to do, the PSU basement makes a worlds difference in looks, I could,go on but it's just a much better case in terms of.. Well eveything.

As for the SSD my old Seagate drive boots my pc up in around a minute and is snappy. The 980Ti makes a night and day difference easily,over a 390 or 970. Don't sacrifice raw performance for some faster boot times or load times. It's not worth it and can easily be added later, a GTX 980Ti would be a lot more expensive to add later over a 970

Not to be snobby here, but it is rather implicit that you havent used a SSD desktop computer. It makes all the difference, and the 390 and 970 are more than good enough for 1080p.

 

Also why bother with a 1231 when a 4690k is cheaper? It comes at a higher base clock and if you are going to go lax on the cpu/mobo you might as well dump HT as well which isn't anywhere close to a performance boost in gaming or light use. (or a 4690 or any other i5 really)

 

I would argue about the h440 more, but it's all aesthetic anyways so no real point.

 

Also good spot on the PSU. I just kinda shrugged at the one listed and well didn't care. That is a good save of 40 dollars.

The op originally had a 4790k, the 1231 is Kindda like a mixture of a 4690k and 4790k. It's got around the same core clock of a i5 but it's hyper threaded like the i7. A SSD is not needed, it's a luxury not a must and quite frankly can be added later. Don't sacrifice FPS because you can't have a game booted up in 30 seconds or your PC boot up in 30 seconds.

But hyper-threading has little to no benefit to almost everyone (esp considering it makes zero difference in gaming), and its slower than the 4690k.

 

Don't sacrifice fps you can't see for tangible benefits that add up to time in rapid massive succession and that help you 100% of the time instead of just when gaming...

 

Again from our conversations, it's quite clear we have some amusing ideological differences...

As this is getting no where yeah let's just stop. The reason I choose it is because games are gonna start and are starting to use the extra threads like they did the extra cores on CPUs like the fx8'or 5820k

$1156, SLI ready (GTX 970 G1).  The R9 390 is a very real option, either one will net you enjoyable gaming experiences.
