A good $1300-1400 build?

Hey guys, could you give me a good build for the above budget, complete with monitor, speakers, headphones, keyboard, mouse and the computer itself. I want to use it mainly for gaming. It should be future proof; around 4 years without upgrading anything.

does that look like a gaming benchmark to you? look at the youtube video above, performs better even when overclocked with less fps drops and stuttering.

At least try to give an explanation or something.  I don't see anywhere in the site you linked to me saying i7 7700 is terrible

It says it's worse for gaming than a 7600k

Never use these sort of sites. They usually give conflicting results, I mean take a look at GPU boss:

You are better off with real world use benchmarks or heck even synthetic benchmarks

You're hilarious.

 

Don't mind that OP, my 7700 easily bested my boyfriends best friend 7600k OC'ed at 4,6ghz when we were teasing eachother, nowadays you want to favour threads as much as you can since those are getting more and more important.

I only use it to compare some really weird cpu like an old quad core pentium or something

Back to topic, don't you think a better case and a motherboard with 4 ram slots would do better here? I think the gigabyte B250 D3SH or something offers 4 slots for not much more.

Quote

However, the average frame-rate results suggest that the advantages of the i7's hyper-threading are minimal, its stock performance often overcome with an i5 overclock - but it's a different situation on when we look at the lowest recorded frame-rates, where the i5 is disadvantaged in several titles, and there are occasions where even 4.5GHz performance can't match the i7's stock stability. We should remember that our tests here are designed to propel CPU limitations to the forefront, and our contention is that in most titles where GPU is the bottleneck, the difference will be harder to detect. But the bottom line is this - in many-core games that hit CPU hard, the i7 6700K offers a level of stability in excess of what the equivalent i5 is capable of.

Is the rx 480 good enough for 1080p or is a 1070 required? I would like to keep it for 4 years.

Userbenchmark is probably best quick comparing raw power, a lot better than GPU/CPU Boss at least, but if you gonna based your purchase solely on it then you'll obviously make a bad deal for your money xD

 

The thing is, userbenchmark adds every new benchmark to its data base, a lot more people bought i5 7600k for solely gaming purposes, while a lot who bought i7 7700 were only looking for great performing office desktops, therefore since a lot more people have OC'ed i5's with good combo for good gaming performance, while not as much with locked i7 do, that makes the average lean better to the i5 HOWEVER the the ultimate i7 7700 build will obviously outperform the ultimate i5 7600k build, there's just many less of those what makes in average the i5 7600k look better on those huge data bases.

It's good. If you keep it for 4 years I suppose a 1070 could be a good improvement
