Depends on what you're using it for, as to whether it will be overkill or not...

Thanks

Welcome to the forum! What's your budget and purpose for this build?

[ZaneStarkiller]

I want to use it for League of Legends Overwarch and CSGO.. I also want to be able to record my own games for later inspection and possibly video editing.

[DrM]

get a z170 mobo. you cant oc on a locked chipset. also for the price, that psu is not worth it. you can get an evga gs 550 thats fully modular, made by seasonic, and $10 less. hybrid drives are useless when you have an ssd. either get a 1TB or 2TB normal drive. 970 is not worth the cost. you can either get a 1070 for $100 more or wait 8 days and get an rx 480 for $200 and performs roughly around a 980

whats the cheapest/best 4gb video card?

The Radeon RX 480 will cost $200, come in 4GB and 8GB versions, and be about as good as today's 970, 390, 390x, or 980. It'll be out June 29.

It'll be the RX 480 when it comes out, so I suggest waiting until it's released. While waiting though, I suggest continue keeping an eye on the prices of the parts to see if you can get some good deals on them. You shouldn't need any additional fans so I left those out.

in your case id say go with the rx 480 since the games you play arent too demanding

This is speculation, however (in regards to performance).

If the games I play are not too demanding is there any ways to make my build cheaper if i dont need the specs?

It is, but it's based on pretty good numbers. Comparing FLOPs performance usually isn't particularly good, except when you compare the same architecture. In that case the 5.8 TFLOPs RX 480 lands just below the R9 390X.

 

We also have alleged 3DMark Firestrike benchmarks for the card. I'd take those with a grain of salt though.

I i dont plan on overclocking is it useless to get a 6700k

yes it is. get a h170 or b150 board and a xeon. its a 6700 non k without the integrated graphics

[Herman Mcpootis]

i'd recommend this. get os from kinguin/reddit for $20-30 if you wanna save some money, heatsink's optional.

If you're not going to overclock, don't get a K skew processor. if ALL you're going to do is gaming, you could even save some more money and get an I5 6500 or 6600. These CPU's are more than enough for any games today. You could then get that b150 board you wanted and you would have a solid computer and save a bunch of money.

Also as most people are recommending the RX 480. Tough to say exactly how well this will perform until june 29th when the NDA lifts and people release benchmarks, but it SHOULD be a pretty solid 1080p card. SHOULD be able to play anything at high-ultra-max graphics with high fps. If nothing else its going to be MUCH cheaper than the current equivalents on the market today. definitely worth waiting for. Dont get the 970, get the RX 480

Thanks for the insight man what exactly does a xeon equal. All the videos I have watched on cus only make me more confused.

this particular xeon is pretty much an i7 6700 without the iGPU and maybe with a few workstation/server features.

I would like to record my own games for later inspection. I know thats not streaming but i sorta figured its close and i7 is what i saw reccomended for streamers but if i dont need it thats cool would i need it for recording my own games?
