I would game on this new PC, games like, Dota 2, Battlefield 4, Crysis 2, and ofcause future games that are coming out.. Intel® Core™ i5-6500 Quad CPU MSI Z170A Krait Gaming Motherboard Sapphire Nitro R9 380X 4GB OC/ Sapphire Nitro R9 370 4GB OC Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz CL14 (8GB RAM) Cooler Master V650 (650W) 80+ Gold Corsair Air 540 As for the graphic cards between both Sapphire, need advice on these as would i get big difference in performance on the R9 380X over R9 370? As the pricing are kind of big difference. For storage, i plan to use back my current SSD (Samsung Evo 250GB) and HDD (WD Cavier Black 1TB) as well as my windows which is in SSD.

Posted December 18, 2015 Firstly, get the Z boards only for overclocking CPUs. The R9 380x has a significant price to performance gain from the R9 270 and quite alot of improvement. Also the case you have chosen is expensive, not quite enough to match the internals to call it a fair purchase. I recommend getting the S340 or the H440 if you prefer looks. Fractal Design has some nice cases too. You shouldn't get LPX memory for no reason as they are generally more expensive. For the rest it's great and you should purchase your items either from retail shops or at (http://www.newegg.com/global/sg). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has some cash and is willing to risk in the silicon lottery, then why not i guess? To be really honest here, i5 4460 can handle a 980Ti.
