1080p gaming

[SnowFootprints]

so i picked out this build but im not very good with how well cpu's work (how much it will bottle neck and stuff)

will this build run games at 60fps 1080p at very high, (or high on more demanding games) or will the cpu bottle neck it (i know the gpu wont)

get an i5 (non k skew) and a H170 motherboard. serves you way better

it will, but not with that i3

Always makes me feel proud when I see builds without pointless power supplies

i forgot to add this part, I plan on adding a i5 later down the line when i have the money (probably next year when im out of this dorm) then turning this even later into a htpc with the i3 and some other mobo. Im going to overclock the i5 when I move it into my serious gaming rig. My real question is can this cpu can run games at 1080p 60fps very high or will i have to upgrade to the i5 in order to get that performance out of my gpu. ( and i love this mobo but the h veriant is 113 while this one is only 129)

Corsair's SF450 is miles ahead of any other SFX PSU as of today.

No worries that's why we're here

 

I agree with the people saying that a cheaper mobo + i5 6500 is a better choice.

I think he means builds that have a 750W on a system that will use 250

[ARikozuM]

Get the Windows key from dealscube and put the money saved towards a WD Blue 2TB or Black 1TB.

 

Also, if you don't see yourself using a K-series CPU consider changing the board to a B or H-series.

ah ya, I figured i wouldn't need anything like that in a case that only takes one gpu

Or for anything really

 

Maybe if you go SLI Titan Xs + 6950X you'll need 750W

 

SLI 1080s + OC 6700K, 500W

SLI 1070s + OC 6700K, 450W

RX 480 + stock i5, 230W

They get keys that haven't been used from other companies or keys that Microsoft has re-certified.

so i just buy it and download the iso or what. I have to be honest the windows instal part had me worried. Ive never built a system just done insane amounts of research into pc parts to find exactly what i want.

Buy the key and head on over to Microsoft.com to get the USB installer.

Because it's technically not legit to resell keys.  Keys not purchased from an authorized retailer can and sometimes (maybe even often) do get revoked.
