Computer

[Aabbcc]

I'm thinking of buying a computer with

 

 MSI Radeon R9 390.

 Intel core i5 4690k 3,5GHz.

 Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3. 

 Kingston HyperX Fury Black (2 x 8GB).

 Cooler Master B700 V2 700W.

 Samsung 850 EVO series 250 GB SSD.

 WD Blue WD10EZEX 64 MB 1 TB.

 Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo.

 

is there anything i should change about the computer ?

Nothing wrong with it, though I'm sure people will recommend a better PSU and show you a PSU ranking / tier list.

If you are buying new I would suggest the 6600k, a z170 motherboard, and if you can swing it take advantage of M.2 and get a 256gb 950 pro.

DDR4 isn't terribly expensive but you'll definitely have a slight improvement going to Skylake. You can skip M.2 if you like it would just be nice to have.

If you want to overclock that 4690k I'd get a better cooler than the Hyper 212 evo. Other than that, it seems like a well balanced gaming PC with everything it needs and nothing it doesn't.

when i tested it out on pc part picker it single-handedly raised the price of my build by 200 dollars and i had the same amount of ram, clock rate, and motherboard specs.

What single-handedly did it? Ignore the M.2 and 950 Pro suggestion. I assume you are primarily interested in gaming and those won't give any noticeable improvements in regular use or gaming.

just having everything being ddr4, z170, and skylake did.

Yeah sorry I just meant going with the newer platform would at least give you the ability to use stuff like M.2 down the road. As for the cost, DDR4 isn't that much more expensive. I'd say if you plan on overclocking at all I would be looking at boards in the $120 US range. 

 

Overall going from Z97 to Z110 should only cost you about $50 US. Not sure where $200 came from. My example here is $60 more expensive because I put in the Gigabyte Gaming 3 board which a lot of people seem to like.

I agree that ddr4 isn't relatively very expensive but having 6600k along with the motherboard is way more expensive vs a 4690k and it's respective motherboard.

What on earth are you talking about?

With the exact same motherboard jumping to Skylake will cost you about $20 and you get DDR4 and the added features of the Z170 chipset as a bonus. 

 

I don't think $20 is "too expensive" even if you have a strict budget. If $20 is that big of an issue then go with 8GB of RAM for now.

Gosh, I'm an idiot for going based on information I got along time ago
