Just ordered my parts!

[DaltonM]

Oh boy am I STOKED. I just ordered all my parts to upgrade my pc.

My future specs:

CPU: Core i5 4690k

Cooler: EVO 212

RAM: 2x4gb DDR3 1600 (not new)

GPU: MSI LP GTX 750 Ti (not new)

MOBO: Asrock Z97M Pro4

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 80+ Bronze Fully modular PSU.

 

I got the 2 year replacement on my CPU and MOBO, and the 3 year plan for some speakers I ordered. My PSU has a 5 year replacement too!

 

Are you guys excited as I am!!!! I will build this for you all soon! Maybe I'll even make a video about it lol.

why did you go with a 4690k and a 750 ti

are you doing things that aren't really gaming related?

[Praesi]

Ya, im totaly excited. When can i have my Example?

[DaltonM]

Well, I am not upgrading my GPU... YET. It's old, and I want to spend like $500 on a GPU alone. 

 

Also I will get 16gb of ram next and an SSD with at least 500gb.

If you're gaming though then even just a 300$ gpu and a less expensive 200$ cpu would have given you magnitudes more performance. Hell, even getting a 380 would have given you almost double the performance for only like, 50-60$ more.

I could have gone with the $200 cpu, the 4460, but I decided only $40 more was okay to pay for the top tier CPU, along with OC headroom. I don't need the best of the best, but I not really on a budget either. 

 

As for the GPU. I really haven't decided what I want yet. My minimum is a 970. I need Nvidia cards for my shield devices.

So the 750ti is just a place holder until you can get a 970? If so then i get it, cause the 750ti is like, a 720p card if you want to play on max settings. It can only run 60fps in 1080p at reduced settings, Low to medium.

[DaltonM]

Yeah, when I first got my PC, all I needed was a GPU. So I went and got that.

omg stap attacking him cus he has a weird gpu paired with his CPU

check my build I know ur feel OP

[DaltonM]

I don't see that point in getting an i5 that isn't the 4690k, it's only $40 more. 

But like I said, GPU is temporary. It's going in my mom's pc lol

I'm gonna get a skylake chip, 64gb of DDR5 and a voodoo card, with an extra PhysX card for my spanking new PCI slot.
