Posted October 11, 2016 Get an RX 480 or a GTX 1060 and that's a very capable gaming rig. So long as the power supply is decent and make sure if the HDD is old/used that it's not in terrible condition (trust me when I say HDD's lose performance over time), it will be good. CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want. ---QUOTE ME OR I WILL LIKELY NOT REPLY--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 11, 2016 That is a good build and like Vegetable said make sure the PSU (power supply) are decent brands (corsair, evga, ect.) you should do some nice gaming with an RX480 or a GTX 1070 (1070's about the same as a 1080 for less $$) but also if you get the PC do a desk health check and make sure the HDD will last you, I had a used drive and it failed with my data not backed up, so if the drive has been used for a while either have a backup or get a new one. Otherwise that build is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 11, 2016 I agree with everyone above make sure the powersupply is good and not a crappy one and yeah its good id make sure radiator/watercooler hasnt leaked and yeah its aa great deali picked up a 3570k, ASUS z77, 8 gbs ram, 675w PSU, and 650ti inside a vudget case for around $300 USD so you are not that far off so i say take it and put in your own GPU and your good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
