Build Help

[Tespp]

Hey guys, I plan on building a computer for playing games like CS:GO, Skyrim, GTA V etc. on ultra settings with 60+ fps. I also plan on running stuff like Cinema 4D and Adobe Photoshop CS6 without any issues. My budget is around $2,300 - $2,500. I wanted to know if there are any last minute changes I should make before I purchase the parts. I want the theme to be black and white. If you guys could suggest a monitor cheaper than $250 that would be nice. Thanks for your time

why not skylake?

[DarkBlade2117]

Look fine except get a .Nzxt x61 kraken. It will keep the temps better and run MUCH quieter compared to a H100i.

PSU also Isn't good.

Get a EVGA G2 or GS, any SeaSonic, any XFX, or any .superflower.

Oh get a Samsung 850Evo,,they are cheaper and better,

Sorry, what's skylake? (Bit of a noob :L)

6th intel core i7 processors with z170 chipset that supports DDR4

+1 on Skylake.

 

+1 on Kraken X61.

 

Get an EVGA G2 psu or Corsair AX or HX. White cable sets are available for these psu. Better than using extension cables. Also better psu.

 

MSI GTX 980Ti 6GD5T OC might look better in the build. Has better stock performance.

 

I wouldn't waste any money on the extra fans. The H440 has 4 stock white bladed fans that are quiet. The X61 would add another two white bladed fans.

 

Unless there are particular features of the Pro version, standard Windows should do.

Thanks so much. So the MSI 980 ti is better than the Gigabyte 980 ti?

The MSI has a higher factory overclock. Pick the one you think will look best in the build.

I guess the MSI gpu is better looking for my build. Thanks your your time
