Hello, I've been a long time lurker, and have build many systems before, but I've been out of the game for about 2 years, and just wanted someone to ask for second opinions on this build, along with price checking!

Solid build.

Just a suggestion on getting a different PSU. EVGA 600 B is not the best rated.

XFX 650 PRO

Yeah, I would suggest going with the XFX 650 Pro, or the SeaSonic M2ii 620w

why get a 770 with a 1300 dollar build
you can easily fit in a 780 ti

 

[marc79]

Other than the PSU its a great build.

 

[xInfluX]

make sure too pick an answer 😛 good luck in your building!

What would you recommend me swap out with a 780 ti build?

I like that build too, Realistically, how much performance increase would this be over my original build? Because I still need a monitor and that'd put me a bit over budget 😛

 

[legend001523]

I would say 20-30% increase in peroformance

 

[xInfluX]

Not going anywhere in that build without a PSU 😛

fixed

Really pushing it with a 500w PSU, may be safer just to do a 780 non ti, so he can get a monitor also and more wattage lol.
Just a thought ~ 😛

 

[legend001523]

na the estimated is 450 so 500W, eswpecially a evga one, will output the full 500w

"Minimum system power supply of 600w"
You'd be pushing it

 

[marc79]

My overclocked cpu and gpu at only 1200Mhz (stock volts 1.175v) pulled 520W from the wall in Crysis 3, just saying.

 

[legend001523]

kk I'll change it sure Still under 1300 so more than do able

Yeah, I think I might have to do that, mainly because of the budget and I still need a monitor 😛
Just a few things I'm not 100% on anymore since I haven't kept up with a lot of this for the past ~2 years:
-The comparison of the motherboards (the ASrock vs the Gigabyte posted above) and how much of a difference they actually make in performance in this build.
- The thing is, since the 780 is ~$200 more than the 770 is it worth it (I mean price per dollar wise) because I know I said $1,300 budget, but I really mainly play BF4, WoW, Crysis, LoL. I was just feeling a 780ti might be a bit overkill for a single (maybe dual, actually most likely dual) monitor setup. Please let me know, I'm not quite sure if it would be or not

I'd say yes, a 780 ti is overkill, but both the 770 and 780 can run ultra on bf4, you should get the 780 in a build this budget, it's probably going to have smoother fps on 1440p and and also dual monitors
