system build 2013/2014

[Dani84]

Hello.

 

Was thinking of building a pc and i would like some oppinions on the things i thought of putting in it.

 

so here is the parts list.

 

CPU                            Core i7 4770k

MOBO                         maximus VI Extreme

MEMORY                    G-Skill ripjaws 2x4 gb

GPU                            Gigabyte windforce 770 4gb x2

POWER                      Silverstone 1000W

CASE                          NZXT 810 Switch

CPU COOLER            Swiftech H220

 

So what do u think?

[Drown]

Very expensive motherboard that could be swapped for a 150$ one without performance loss, do you really need an i7? You only put 8Gb of RAM, if you're doing some heavy editing/rendering, get 16Gb, if not, get the 4670k.

You should wait for the R9 serie from AMD, see how the price drops go, and maybe get a R9-290X or a 780. 

 

It's better to get a single GPU at the moment, you'll be able to upgrade later.

PSU is overpowered, 800-850W would be fine

Pretty solid build. The only thing I would say is you could lower the size of your PSU and save a little.

Yhis is a pure gaming pc.And im going to get the parts in december so. well see the prices and everything else at that point

Or rm series psu. I prefer silverstone though But then again i'm sleeving the cables so i can say bye to their ugly cables.

The rm series runs dangerously hot so I wouldn't put in a case like the R4 which doesn't have high airflow.

[tristan1035]

Why in the holy mother of hell would you buy that board?!?! It's ridiculously overpriced, just go LGA 2011 instead.

[Venomz1337]

I'm sure he picked the NZXT Switch 810 for a reason which is looks. The Switch 810 is in my opinion better looking/has better cooling than an R4.

[ttam]

His board is fine people. Everyone always dogs on someone wanting a damn nice board. Normally the cheap people.

[Dani84]

Yes i like the way NZXT 810 looks. And the maximus VI xtreme is around 360€ in Finland. And been using ROG boards in other pc:s too so i like them. But should i have more ram and the power is enough when its 850 for gigabyte gtx770 in sli.

Yes, 850 is enough for 770 in SLI however like others have said, a 780 will draw less power, create less stuttering and in most cases, give you more performance, I don't see why you need two 770's.. I'd say either 1 770 or a 780..

An i5 will perform just as well as an i7 for gaming. 8GB ram is plenty for gaming. Getting more than you need will yield no benefit.

Plan later. Parts and prices change frequently and things will be very different by December.

A 770 sli will comfortably run on a 750w psu.

[Dani84]

Id like to do a sli/crossfire rig but looking at the R cards im think ill go for those. Just waiting for the R290 prices at this point.

[General_Led]

Budget?

[Dani84]

well we can say 2700-3400$ Nad ill be using my old HDD

[Dani84]

Does any1 know will two R280X ROG Matrix platinums fit in crossfire mode on the maximus VI extreme.cause those cards a triple slot cards.

Psu is overkill. A 750w would already be plenty for sli. 550w for single 770. Also, a 7970/280x has neck to neck performance with the 770 and is much cheaper.

Plan later. Parts and prices change frequently. I'd say plan 2-3 days at most before you actually purchase everything.

It would fit but there's little point getting such expensive versions of a card that you can get much cheaper. It seems like you're throwing money at high end expensive parts hoping they would do better than the cheaper versions of the same thing. That's not how it works. 

[Dani84]

There is a 70 euro difference here between the cheapest and expencivest 280. But what psu for R280X ROG Matrix platinum in cross fire.

Hello.

 

Was thinking of building a pc and i would like some oppinions on the things i thought of putting in it.

 

so here is the parts list.

 

CPU                            Core i7 4770k

MOBO                         maximus VI Extreme

MEMORY                    G-Skill ripjaws 2x4 gb

GPU                            Gigabyte windforce 770 4gb x2

POWER                      Silverstone 1000W

CASE                          NZXT 810 Switch

CPU COOLER            Swiftech H220

 

So what do u think?

 

The i5 4670k will be exactly the same performance as the i7 4770k in gaming. 

With an Switchtech H220 Cooler, you are better off to get the Formula board. It will OC the same as the Extreme. Has better sound (wich for gaming is super important to me) and just looks kickass. 

1000W can power 3 GPUs. With a costum WC loop. Go for a 750W PSU. this will power 2 GPU's perfectly fine. 

[Kiwiandapple]

There is a 70 euro difference here between the cheapest and expencivest 280. But what psu for R280X ROG Matrix platinum in cross fire.

 

Grab the non-matric version off Asus and overclock it -> tada you now have the Matrix. 750W PSU. Either Corsair RM750 or Seasonic X750. 

 

 

well we can say 2700-3400$ Nad ill be using my old HDD

 

Namibian dollars?

miss spelled. us dollars It shold be And ill be using my old HDD
