First of all i have to excuse myself because my english isnt really the best and this is my first Topic in the linustechtips forum as well :).

 

 

Im gonna build a new Computer/Pc and i need it for streaming,recording,gaming and for the future so i dont have to update my Computer next week again.

 

So here is my question =) ... 

 

What do you guys think of these speccs for my new Pc i can probably spend like  800-900€ . 

 

CPU: i7 4770k 

Mainboard: MSI Z87-G43

Ram:GeIL DIMM 8 GB DDR 3 2133 Kit - Timings: CL10 11-11-30

Videocard: Gtx 770 Gainward or r9 280x Gigabyte ... cant decide but i will go for sure in the next few month with a second video card for SLI or CrossfireX.

Case: Zalman z11 plus i hope 2 Videocards will fit in there.

HDD/SDD:First of all im gonna buy later a SSD , i will start with a HDD (250GB HDD nothing much to say about it)

Power supply:  Fractal Design Integra R2 750W

Cooler: Starting with an Boxed Cooler but i will change it later with an water cooling system.

 

 

 

 

It would be great if i get some answers , i wish everybody a nice day and a great time at this forum =).

Okay thanks for responding so quickly guys.

i5 even for the future?

im streaming sometimes and i thought all 8 cores will be used?

The i7 doesn't have 8 cores. Both the i5 and i7 have 4 cores each. They just use them differently. How they are used doesn't really affect gaming.

Get a ssd now and a larger hdd. Games take up quite a bit of space and a ssd will make a huge difference in the overall pc experience. 

 

You can't sli on that mobo. 

High speed ram is also quite useless--especially if you're going to watercool. Oc'ing your ram will make oc'ing your cpu unstable and vice versa. Pick one to oc. Considering high speed ram doesn't really do much, you'd be better off gettign slower ram and oc'ing your cpu. 

 

Where are you shopping/located?

Budget?

Btw, you need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

Hey thanks i couldnt know that i have to click on quote.

 

At the moment i have an i7 720qm ( Y560 Laptop ) , but im tired of this Laptop it uses all 8 cores when im streaming or recording.

 

Im from Germany , i will order my Computer parts from www.alternate.de

 

My budget is 800-900€ max. for this month atleast.

 

I thought an i7 4770k is better for the next few years because they maybe release some games which uses more cores or something like that , i really dont want to update my computer next year again =) . the i7 4770k boxed is also only 60euro more expensive its almost nothing.

 

I wanna go with an i7 4770k , 1600/1800 cl9 ram 8gb , sli mainboard , video card r9 280x crossfireX or 770 gtx sli , some case which is big enough , 750-1000W power supply (For this month)

 

Next month im gonna order Watercooling System,8gb more ram for the same brand,120SSD 1-2x and maybee 2 more Monitors.

 

=)

The i7 doesn't have 8 cores. It has 4 cores and 8 threads. It's similar to the i5 but just uses the same cores differently. It's not like they added more cores or anything. They just locked HT on i5's.

HT helps optimize for programs that don't use the cycles of the 4 cores efficiently so they run better. Games already take advantage of the 4 cores quite well so HT does little to nothing for them. If you want 8 cores for gaming, get a 8320/8350. 

 

A 280x CF or 770 sli sounds a bit overkill and not exactly value friendly atm. What resolution are you gaming at? Do you need a copy of Windows? What about peripherals? Do you have the mouse.keyboard/monitor/etc. covered?

For a 770 sli, you only need a 750w psu and 850w for the 280x CF. Keep in mind this is for the entire system, not the cards alone.

 

Your budget also sounds a bit tight for what you want to get. I'd recommend getting the ssd from the get go. It makes a world of difference.
