Gaming pc suggestions

[IlMarkuz]

Hi i'm planning to build a new PC, that would be the list of components i'm putting on:

-400r Corsair case

-MSI GD65 motherboard

-Intel i5 4670k CPU (overclock at 4.2ghz)

-Cooler H60 Corsair

-8gb RAM Vengeance PRO Red 2133mhz

-Video card: Gtx 760 MSI OC (With a possible 2way sli in the future)

-Hard disk 500gb WD Blue

 

I think that's all, i may put an SSD in the future.

Are the pieces i listed, compatible with eachoter?

And is it a balanced build? Which would be the slowest component? (the one that slows down the rest of the components)

Thanks

Lose the ram, get 1600mhz. you wont notice a difference if your gaming and its a complete waste of money put it towards an SSD or a better GPU.

[Excon]

Perfectly compatable just drop down to 1600mhz ram and get a Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 and you will be set.

[Volbet]

The things are compatible. 

 

I wouldn't expect a 4.2 GHz overclock with a H60. I can be mistaken of course

I suggest you to get 1600MHz RAM insted of 2133MHZ RAM. You won't see a major performance decrease and the performance differencee is not worth the price differencee

[M-ursu]

8350 would be more better for gaming, because of optimisations, also your ram is overkill.

[IlMarkuz]

Ok thanks for your suggestion, here in Italy it's just 6$ difference that's why i'd like to buy the PRO version.

I also forgot, i'll use a CX750 W to power everything.

This computer will be used for programming, video editing, 3D rendering (not much and just for fun) and gaming(Battlefield 3 and 4, Crysis,Borderlands 2,Bioshock Infinite, Metro lastlight) on a single 1680x1050 monitor

PCper did a review of the H60 and they got 4.4ghz on a 4770k, at relatively okay temps. However, they do get engineering samples, which are typically what you wont find in the retail world.

I got 4.8ghz (8350) whit h60 at the time, and 4670k is lot cooler than 8350

upgrade your hdd a little bit,downgrade your ram a little bit and i would go for 650d case and don't do sli with 760, instead go for a single 780!

From 1600mhz to 2133mhz its $6? Dear god I must move to Italy now.

Yep, as everyone commented already, get the ram down to 1600. The thing that is slowing down this build would be the HDD, a SSD would speed it up.

I was saying that I could be mistaken, There is no way I can know if hee will win or lose the silicoen lottery. I was only talking from personal experience. And he should absolutly try to hit as high of an overclock as possble.

why recommend a case thats double the price than what he picked out?

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

i just suggested him,it's his decision though! depending upon his budget

[IlMarkuz]

8gb vengeance red 1600 mhz is 73€, 8gb vengeance pro red is 80€

The 650d case is 189€ here and the 400r is 93€ which would be the best quality/price?

if you are going to do video editing you will need much more than 500GB storage. 

[Thibaudv]

Slowest component is easily the hard drive.

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

hey! please tell me your budget  and then i will help you! :P

Why is the 650d better than the 400r?

I have a space issue too and the 400r would fit perfectly in my workstation, but if 650d is bigger, it won't fit

[IlMarkuz]

So this is the document i made out:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An6yVZojg-MpdDNsMGJOYnMtckhLcmZLQXhidjNJWnc&usp=sharing

My budget is around 600€ but you have to consider that in italy prices aren't like in USA

The actual build is about 555€

Consider i already have the PSU and the video card

okay. i got your point. then probably go with 400r. do you have a separate room for gaming?

Downgrade ram to 1600 mhz.

Get the 1tb harddrive instead of 500 gigs. It is only slightly more expensive

A 550-600w power supply would run it just fine.

Edit: Slowest component is probably hdd.

I have a room i use both for gaming and working(i'm a programmer and i work at home).

I have at home a Seagate Barracuda 1.5 tb 7200 rpm with SATA II connector would this be better than the WD hard disk?

As i told you i already have the PSU and the video card (i won them from a contest).

well WD vs Seagate, WD clearly wins for me!
