Go to solution Solved by Clyne,

the case seemed really easy to install parts in for a first time builder and its at a good price

Corsair 200R is fine, i was going with 300R but i went with a 750D instead.

yeah i didnt think you needed it either but it could be future proof i would like it to last a few years

There's Overclocking.....and HT is "logical cores".....since games will support HT.

Since your monitor is 1440 i would replace the 970 with the r9 390(x). Way better for 1440 and maybe even 4k.

  1. cpu cooling solution is not enough for a serious overclock. i would get a corsair h60
motherboard is a little expensive. i would go with a z97-eram is expensive for that frequency. get 2400 mhz ram for that pricei would get a 2tb seagate drive. the sshd's are nicei would get a 390 over the 970. if you can afford a 390x or 980, go with thatdon't get the cx series psu. get a gs or g2 evga or seasonic psui would get a noctua fan instead. the nf-s12a pwm for case ventilation

Even the NEX is not a good PSU. It's not a CX series, but I'd much rather prefer a GS or G2 series. Plus he already decided on using the peripherals he currently has to spend more money on components.

Shit things? I would much rather have some nice HyperX memory and Samsung SSD. Nothing wrong with cheap stuff though.

it's not great, but it's not bad for the price:

yes, i agree, the gs or g2 would be better quality

How is this for a complete first build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/cops19/saved/2jVPxr

Few revisions:

 

1. You'll like the speed of the 850 EVO, it's a really fast SSD.

2. The SuperNOVA GS or G2 would be a better choice, although the 750B is still a pretty good PSU.

3. Do you really need a DVD drive? Those are becoming a thing of the past.

4. A 390X would be a better choice as it offers similar performance to the GTX 980 at a cheaper price point. I managed to fit one into your $1400 budget with the monitor and keyboard.

5. The Octane combo from Cooler Master is great, I used to have it. It's not mechanical but it still feels pretty nice, I recommend upgrading to a Ducky or something later on.

 

Here is the one I think you should go for:

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($229.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: Asus Z97-E ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($91.98 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($102.89 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 390X 8GB Video Card  ($429.98 @ SuperBiiz) 
Wireless Network Adapter: Asus PCE-N15 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter  ($19.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor  ($249.99 @ Amazon) 
Total: $1417.15

I think it's the best performance you're going to get at this budget with solid, well built part choices; it will last you for a long time.

If you would rather have that, then why are you putting that into the OP build when it's your preference and not his.

Well I think if OP is spending $1400 on a new system it should be nice and last him a while. The 850 EVO is a fast SSD, the HyperX memory is high quality, etc. Just because it's a budget build doesn't mean he has to have a system that looks like shit with green RAM and stuff. Sure it saves him a couple of bucks but I managed to put him together a system that looks good and performs well, especially since I managed to squeeze in a 390X instead of a 390 while keeping his monitor and keyboard in the budget.

If your spending that much on pc parts, spending 40-50 bucks on a case isn't justifiable as you'll probably run into problems in the future with upgrades.

Really? It's ATX and is like pretty much every other case out there. He can get a more expensive case if he wants, the 230T isn't that bad.

The 760T is nice, but really it's whatever suits your tastes. As long as it's not complete crap.

50 bucks would run into problems down the line, bought a 60 dollar case and it was total shit.

Bought a Corsair 750D instead.
