My first build

[Carlospuron]

Hi every one, so as the title says this is my first build, i was more of an xbox 360 gamer, but i decided to try pc so far I love it, everything was bought new but it's been running for about a year already, to be honest I did a lot of mistakes at the beginning due to a lack of information, I picked the parts based on a couple of youtube videos and with some help from the store guy, but everything is been running good so far, I'm able to run battlefield 4 with settings on ultra at 1080 and get about 100 fps

 

Cpu: i5-4690K

Gpu: GeForce GTX 970 4GB 100 Million Edition,

MOBO: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

RAM:Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Memory: Crucial BX100 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive, Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

PSU: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze

Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Case:S340 ATX Mid Tower

 

I haven't overclock anything on it I'm looking to upgrade the gpu to the gtx 1080 cause my tv is 4k

 

 So what do you guys think? Let me know.

Your build is up to date 100%. No need to upgrade your graphics card or switch to 4K its not worth it.

Might need i7 4790k since 1080 might be too much and i5 could bottleneck but for 4K you will be fine

970 doesn't pull latest titles at 4K though

Why switch to 4K tho, 1080p is really fine. Your 4690k May bottleneck a 1080 too.

I was thinking on that but prices is above budget for now so, I'll try the i5 while  I save some money to get the i7

Some people can notice the difference.

 

Don't think the 4690K would be much of a issue at 4K, it gets more GPU bound at that resolution. CPU upgrade can come later.

I can play bf4 at 2160 60 hrz but on low or medium to be able to get 50 to 60 fps as I said I've never overclocked anything but I use after burner to increase power limit temperature limit  and fan speeds that gives me some extra fps

Yes, some of us do at least I do,

I'll see how it works when I get the 1080 I'm just waiting for blackfriday or cyber Monday deals to get it at a reasonable price

The green LED + RED fans + yellow bottom crash with each other really hard. It would look fine if the 970 had a red LED instead.

why 4k? stick with 1080p.... the 970 will struggle at 4k.

 

and if you're going GTX 1080, at least get a 1440p monitor (who uses a TV as a monitor anyway?)

Yes I didn't notice the led until I plugged everything I though I was going to be able to change the color but I wasn't,  anyway 1080 would be msi so that red color will be there.

Sounds reasonable the only problem is that I can't place the pc somewhere else (small aprtment) plus I've always liked to play on big screens that's why I use my tv we have 65" right there

Gaming on a TV is awful, you get tonnes of input lag.

I didn't know that. I thought it was the same since the image quality was pretty good
