Maypiaa The $2000 Build, But is it good?

[Desertman]

Is my build the Maypiaa (sky in Dakota) Good enough for 1440p at 60Fps? I made some improvements with it and the build is here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9Tw2D3 I switched the processor to an unlocked processor and I know the PSU is overkill so I don't want to hear it. Is my rig good enough for 1440p, 60 Fps? maybe playing something like Gta V or Skyrim at Ultra settings?

and I know the PSU is overkill so I don't want to hear it.

oops "I know the PSU is overkill so I don't want to hear it" anyway still, why?

idk I never had a 970 nor a 1440p moniter so...

[Kermit]

go with a 600-700w PSU

 

also a 970 wont do 1440p at 60fps unless your at low/very low settings

buy a 980 ti, or r9 390x

[shypin]

if you are upgrading to windows 10 then you can buy a windows 7 license for less

i dont play those games but i think ive read some where that a triple titan gets about 120fps on ultra in gta (1440p)

so i dont think a single 970 will do well on ultra

[Aytex]

yep!

[Kermit]

... you don't pay attention do you?

 

Well, unless you already have it, its a waste of 100+ $$

 

EDIT- Actually with that 390x and SOC mobo, you leave room for potentially 3 more GPUs, so yeah i guess that 1k Watt PSU is alright

[Aytex]

fps difference on i5 4690k and i7 4790k is like 1-2

[onemanarmy720]

i know you dont wanna hear it, but you could get a nice 650 watt psu from evga for $80 and get a 980

[strykeofdesign]

i know you dont wanna hear it, but you could get a nice 650 watt psu from evga for $80 and get a 980

^^^^ you should do that

[Virtual01]

I really wouldn't recommend a 970 for 1440p. Ideally you want 970 SLI or a 980ti.

[Aytex]

yep!

actually get the 980 and sli it in the future 

[Desertman]

Yeah but with the fast demand for more horse power in video games I don't know if ill keep the single r9 390x and switch it for a titan later in the future, My reason is pretty stupid for an overkill PSU

[Desertman]

^^^^ you should do that

You know what? I might just do that anyways because a titan is $1k and my graphics card is $430 so if I cut the PSU $100 then I can stretch my budget from $2000 to $2150 and just save my pretty pennies for another few weeks and get a 980Ti

you are right, new cards with more power keep coming out and games require them too.. but all the new feature cards are gonna start needing less and less power.

[Guest Strangerbob]

And what monitor will you be using?

[jimakos234]

I am posting this build, if u dont like it u could swap the 2 390 for 2 970 or 2 980

but for 1440p i think it will get the job done. If u dont like the monitor you can change it

i have little knowledge in selecting a monitor, so dont judge me
