My second build

[Muleworx]

Hello Everyone,

 

I plan on starting my second build within the month. I have been rocking my budget build for close to three years now and its time for more power.

I am currently running and i3-4300, evga 960 SSC 2gb, 8gbs of ram and 600w power supply lol. I mainly use this playing COD and Battlefield.

 

Here is the link to what I am planning on building.  https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TMPg2R (I will be reusing my hard disks)

Its nothing crazy I know, just looking for some opinions and if I should wait on anything cool coming in the near future it would be greatly appreciated

Main concerns are about the gpu selection

Thank you for the heads up but I think I am going to stick with Intel...

seems pretty good, 1 thing i would change is the cpu cooler, i had that cooler and it died on me on 2 separate occasions, the second time it died warranty was over so i got a nh d15 i like it so much better, it's also quieter

Don't get a 240mm AiO. Get a decent air cooler or a 280mm AiO instead.

The 3000 MHz CL15 Trident Z RGB kit costs $20 less, and runs at the same latency (15/3000=16/3200).

WD SSDs are pretty mediocre, and way overpriced. The SL308 or 850 Evo should cost about the same. 

750W is way overkill

Oh wow... did you notice it in time when it died? I have the cooler master 212 evo now and  Ilove it just wanted to try water cooling this time around

yes luckily, the fans got really loud, it was the pump that dies both times

Cool I will look into these things.

650W be sufficient?

 

Thank you!

450W is enough when overclocked. 550W is plenty
