First pc Build

[Waterspear65]

Hello, I was wondering if this is a good pc build to play most Steam games like rocket league, gmod, ark, kerbal, and cs:go as well as some AAA titles like Skyrim and Witcher 3 at 1080p 60fps. My budget is 750$.

 

This is my build:

 

cpu: Intel i5 4590

gpu: EVGA gtx 960 ssc 4gb

ram: Corsair Vengeance blue 8gb ram (2x4)

ssd: Kingston 120gb ssd v300

hdd: WD caviar blue 1tb hdd

case: Corsair Carbide 100r

psu: EVGA 600w

mobo: msi atx 2400 z97

 

Feel free to suggest any changes.

Total budget?

 

Also location?

 

Unless an absolute necessity I never recommend 120 GB ssd's, and the 380 is better than the 960. Likewise if in the US WD drives are overpriced.

 

Finally please follow your topics

[Waterspear65]

My budget is $750. I live in the US.

You will probably be better off with a R9 380.

You'll obviously get over 60fps but considering your budget, you can get better parts for the same price. I'm assuming this is USD:

Splurged more on a better quality PSU with higher efficiency and a better case

Why do you have a Z97 board and a locked CPU? Are you going to SLI or Xfire? If not save the money.

Splurged on much better SSD size and a better graphics card.

 

The XFX psu is nothing special, but it's certainly not bad by any stretch of the imagination.

[Waterspear65]

Which brand r9 380 gpu?

[Curufinwe_wins]

Which brand r9 380 gpu?

Doesn't really matter. The Powercolor 4GB model is the most cost effective (I would stay away from the ASUS model) available so grab that, or look at what the build I posted does.

[Waterspear65]

Is a Sapphire r9 280x any good?

Also, should I go for a 550 or 600w psu?

[Curufinwe_wins]

Is a Sapphire r9 280x any good?

Sure. I personally would take a 380 over a 280x, and a 290/390 over both when it fits in the budget, but it's not a bad option by any means.

[App4that]

Is a Sapphire r9 280x any good?

REALLY good, I almost got it but was able to make the 290 fit my budget. I worked for a developer over the summer and the guys there all prayed to the stupid thing . Very good GPU.

[Waterspear65]

Should I go for a sapphire r9 280x or a powercolor 380.

[App4that]

Should I go for a sapphire r9 280x or a powercolor 380.

Sapphire is the better card, right now. The 380 will have the Vram needed later.

[Curufinwe_wins]

Should I go for a sapphire r9 280x or a powercolor 380.

You should go with a 390 as my build link shows you can fit it with ease.

That's a pretty solid build. I don't hate any part of it.

[jimakos234]

looks fine to me.

ps you dont really need a discrete sound card.

Maybe get a Power pass through and pass your internet through the walls of your house

How would I do that? Do power passes connect wirelessly and amplify the signal?

[spongeyherbs]

ssd capacity is a little low imo
