PC Build

[Kosta-Nedeljkovic]

Hey guys,I am planning to get a desktop since i only have laptop.

So i wonder if anyone could make me a good build based on GTX 970

My budget can not exceed 1200$ And this is without monitor,keyboard or mouse

I need this desktop for gaming(GTA V,new Battlefront,Fallout 4) and stuff like that.
I also need it for some light editing(that's why i am getting 16gigs of ram ) and maybe streaming

Thank you anyway,yours

Kole

Over $1200, but it has an "i7," 16GB RAM, a 980ti, good PSU, SSD, 1TB HDD, the works

why do you want to go with the 970? for the same price you could get a 390

EDIT; or what kobather did

Possible the editing programs he uses take advantage of cuda.

You can try bringing it back under by switching the HyperX for a BX200. They're about $20 cheaper.

Good idea!

[Kosta-Nedeljkovic]

Thank you guys,i am kinda new into PC building but kobathor's build seems to be pretty good!

Swap the HyperX for a BX200 if you need to cut back a bit.

[Kosta-Nedeljkovic]

and yeah i was thinking about cuda,but as i said i am not really going to do anything that seroius and 980 is really just a better card

thats a sexy build right there, i approve.

because some people have preferences over getting slightly better performance per dollar.

BX200 is also a good type of ram,i'll think about since i am getting this PC in March/april

I wouldn`t care all that much, mainly because AMD stepped their drivers game up, I don`t see many more big reasons why no to

[Kobathor]

I actually made that while talking to somebody in the YouTube comments, they said I couldn't make a build with an "i7" and a 980ti for $1200. I made a rough build, then he helped me make it the one I first listed.

 

Now, with the BX200, it's even closer to $1200. If it didn't have an SSD it would be, but I find them necessary for high-end builds.

Will it run minecraft?

[Starelementpoke]

Actually, the 980 is beat by the Fury. I think you mean the 980ti, which the direct compition would be the FuryX, which is doing better(The fury x is), but still no quite beating it.

The BX200 is an ssd?

Honestly,fury is kinda an overkill

well, slightly funny sidenote, lower clock speed (while staying on the same architecture) directly relates to FPS in minecraft on some "more resource intensive" modpacks, and the xeon's slightly lower clock also means notably lower performance.

 

thats said, if your minecraft is at that point you should look into alternatives to offload part of the cpu work.

nah, that`s something I`d understand, but I would still get 390

i also have a tv that needs to get a 59.7Hz input signal, which i just cant seem to do with amd drivers...

Dude it was a joke

as is the "engine" minecraft uses

hmmm, there are still more reasons, but hell, you can`t get everything and when you talk about stuff like that, AMD also has advantages over Nvidea, not only price/performance

the biggest advantage aside from bang for buck i'd see on the amd side is that free-sync panels dont cost an arm and a leg.

 

EDIT: i need sleep, i truly do..

than get some sleep mate, it`s easy to come by

But I still think AMD would be a better choice, regardless of your arguments, i also have a 970 and would gladly trade it with a 390
