Who build should i choose for better perfomance in game

[shapeshifter.atm]

Hello members,

I will buy new build and i don't know who build will be with better perfomance in 1440p and no bottlenecking.

First build who i want is:

MB: GB Z97-HD3

CPU: i5-4590

GPU: ASUS STRIX-GTX980TI GDDR5 6GB

 

The second recommended from friend build is:

MB: GB Z170

CPU: i7-6700

GPU: EVGA GTX 970 4gb

 

Is there any bottleneck in first build? Who of those builds i should buy for more perfomance in 1440p all maxed out settings in games?

I think build 1

The 980ti is much better for 1440p and even 4k gaming than the 970. I would recommend getting the 1080 for 500$ when it comes out at the end of May though

Dont get the 970 for 1440p gaming, it will do it, but not great

MB: GB Z97-HD3

Second build won't even work. Parts are incompatible.

 

First build is better by far although it does have flaws such as not waiting for the GTX 1080 and pairing a Z97 mobo with a locked CPU.

Read my edit.

 

Pairing a Z170 with a locked CPU is pretty pointless unless you require certain features exclusive to that chipset.

 

Hyperthreading is rarely used these days for gaming - get yourself a i5 6500 and a cheaper H170/B150 mobo.

 

BTW, no way in hell are you going to have a good time at 1440p maxed out on a GTX 970.
