Gaming PC

[Telebubbies]

Hey guys! I know that I posted a lot of threads last night and you guys helped me build my PC. Thanks for that guys! But now my local PC store said that their suppliers could not get some of the items that I have specified. So they changed it to the following specification that I will be putting in this post. I just want to know if everything would run well together or if they can change something to maybe make it cheaper or better (please don't say "Get 4 GTX titan X's. It run faster".). I live in South Africa and Amazon will cost a arm in a leg to ship here, import duty etc. So that is why I cannot use Amazon items. So if there is ANYTHING that I could change to make it the specs better but still in the same price range, that would be good. Thanks in advance! Anyway, here are the specs:

 

Case: Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 ATX Mid Tower Case

Motherboard: MSI Z170-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Power Supply Unit (PSU): EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Hard Drive: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

DVD Drive: HLDS 24x DVD-RW Super-MultiDrive (or anything else..)

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Get a i5 6500 and change the graphics card to a r9 390x or a 980 if that works

If not than just change the 970 to a 390

But either way get rid of the unlocked cpu if you can't afford a good AiO

Sorry, but what do you mean by "a good AiO"? AIO stands for "all in one".

Because soon I will switch and get a good corsair water cooling system and overclock it.. 

Sorry if I am kinda nooby.. lol

A all in one water cooler.

Your going to get a higher graphical preformance if you get a locked cpu and a better gpu than a unlocked cpu and a worse gpu

CPU Preformance increases vary from like 2-5fps

GPU's vary from around 50% increase

Thanks man! But now will the i5 6500 handle the DDR4 2400MHz RAM?

And also a separate question - will the motherboard be able to handle all these specs?

Yes and yes

You may wan to save some money off the PSU as well,

Any Seasonic/XFX PSU for around 500-600w is great

[pinksnowmanshandle]

I agree to an extent with @Aytex about going with an i5 6500 but what is your budget?

I have $1300 dollars to blow. I can go a bit above, maybe to like $1340

What type of watercooling would you recommend?

Anything from the H100i GTX to the NZXT X61

I wouldn't go lower than a 240mm radiator cooler

Yes, thanks for that. But I could not use those specs as I live in South Africa and they would cost a fortune to get it shipped to my country. I am on www.wootware.co.za (a local store's website) ordering the parts. 

And one last question, I can only get the GTX 970. Which one would you pick from these ones?

MSI,Galax or EVGA

I highly reccomend EVGA for their great customer support and coolers though

[Darkshruod]

Sorry that I'm not much of help but why bother getting a 

 

Hard Drive: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM

 

Does it really need to be the Black series lineup? It does look like you've got a sick amount of cash to spend. But you could probably cut corners on a black series drive. Not to mention 2TB.

Not my business to know what you are doing but I feel if you did an SSD Boot and a cheaper WD Green drive around 1TB you might save some money.

Other than having large blu ray anime files on my drive with games alone I have never gone past like 350gb

 

I am just asking out of curiosity not bashing your build <3

Any, though for budget i would go for crucial,corsair, gskill

[airdeano]

it is not necessary to create multiple threads (since you best  answered two) on the same topic.

we know that buying/building a PC is tedious, but also creating lots of threads reduces your participation as others stop answering the same ole question.

in the future, create one and stick to that thread (could be considered SPAM, and we do not like SPAM on the forums)

also, create the thread in the appropriate subforum for best solutions.
