Finalizing My Build - Need Advice

[LorelynF]

Hi Guys,

 

Good day, I'm finalizing my build. Thoughts?

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

 

CPU : Intel i7 4771 (3.5 ~ 3.9Ghz)

 

MoBo : Asus Maximus VI Hero

 

GPU : Asus GTX 780 DirectCUII (or GTX 780 Ti)

 

PSU : Corsair RM 750w

 

HDD : (1) 1Tb WDC Black and (1) WDC Green 3Tb

 

RAM : Corsair Vengeance 16Gb 1600Mhz Quad / Dual Channel (4x4Gb)

 

Monitor : LG 23EA63V (Single 1080P setup)

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

 

I'll use it in both gaming and editing.

 

I don't overclock; As soon as it can run modern games stable at 60 fps then it's fine.

 

Let me know if there's a compatibility issue.

 

I'm open to suggestion / advice for a better components.

 

Thanks in advance !

 

:rolleyes:

So your CPU should be a 4770k (not sure it typo).

Apart from that looks good.

I'd go for the 3GB Green drive, and if you can afford an SSD, get one of them too to boot and run main applications off of.

If not, get the black drive.

Definately go for the 780Ti if you can afford it

 

Hope this helps

Get a 4770k if your going with that board...If your not OCing get a cheaper board absolutely no point, also you dont have to OC a 4770k

I would still think about "k" version due to it would be great factor if you ever planned to sell the CPU in the future. Non "k" arent going to sell in the future as good as unlocked ones.

 

Also like said - SSD as OS drive, programs and games and 3TB as storage one would be a good idea.

All looks good to me. Do you need all the features on a VI Hero? Go the Ti of you can.

Wouldn't be too concerned about an unlocked multiplier unless you really want to overclock. Even then though, my 3770 is OC'd to 4.3ghz with the base clock.

Sure, please suggest a good board for 4771 and for my quad/dual channel 16Gb RAM.

 

Also, the reason why I chose 4771 is because it's $30 cheaper and i'm not going to OC since i'm only going to use a single 1080P monitor, but I might consider the "K" CPU.

 

Thanks guys for the suggestion.

why y no got ssd

I would go a black and SSD green is slow

There is no thing as a 4771?

 

wait what? What is the difference between this and a 4770/4770k?

Fair enough

I still recommend the 4770k though

4770 multiplier is locked (not sure what to). 4770k, it's unlocked.

4770k's tend to have to go through a stricter binning process too

I have no experience with either, so this is probably good advice

[LorelynF]

4770k

 

get 780ti, it's not much more expensive than a DCU2 780 and will wipe the floor with it performance wise

Yes, unfortunately here the GTX 780 DCU2 costs $830, still expensive even after the price-cut.

 

So i'm guessing the 780 Ti will cost around $850~$950 here.

 

Should I go for GTX 770 or R9 280X or lesser card ?

 

I only want a stable 60 fps on a 1080P monitor.

I didn't know either until I looked it up for this thread

Get a 780 over either one of those two cards.

R9-290X /290 if you want similar performance to the 780 

[LorelynF]

Thanks for your suggestions guys, I'll go with i7 4770k so I can fully utilized my other components.

 

I will start reading OC 101. :lol:
