Are these compatible PC parts

[conorvickers1]

Just posting here to make sure this is all compatible, and to ask what to expect for the new/hard to run games .

Compatible yes but odd. Mixing an overclocking cpu such as the 4770k with a low end motherboard that cannot overclock is weird. Also a 450w psu would be plenty and highly likely you don’t need the soundcard.

I guess you are buying this secondhand? I certainly wouldn’t buy it new. Also be aware that the cpu socket and DDR3 RAM are dead giving you no upgrade path.

It will run modern AAA games at 1080p 60Hz very well.

 

[conorvickers1]

Actually I'm building it, it's been a while since I built my first one so I forgot alot about parts.
What other parts would you recommend so it isn't 'Odd' the budget is there and I just want to play all the games with little to no FPS/GRAPHICS issues, my other computer was great but didn't stick the 60fps all the time and wasn't fully reliable.

Do you want to overclock? If you do go with a Z87 or Z97 motherboard to pair with a 4770k.

If you are building and buying new then don’t buy a 4 generation old cpu and obsolete RAM and motherboard. You would be much better of with a i5 8400/i5 8600 or Ryzen 2600, all with DDR4. This gives you a modern platform with some future upgrade options and RAM you could reuse.

 

[conorvickers1]

I do not want to overclock, I will Infact switch to one of the i5's you recommended, but which one is better for me? And what motherboard would work with it?

 

[sizzling]

Well the i5 8600k is a bit faster but the (k) is because it is unlocked for overclocking and is the main feature to pay extra for.

So the 8400 offers great performance for its price. You can pair it with a H370/B360/H310. I’d look at H370/B360 as the H310 is the very entry level but to be honest all will work as long as they have the features and sockets you want.

If you went 8600k and want the option to overclock in the future then you want a Z370 board.

Made lots of changes to your build: Different CPU/MB and RAM, the MB carries good connectivity, good onboard audio ( why I dropped the sound card ) and a possibly useful M2 slot.

Yep, that's a 250Gb SSD, not top line, true but still a lot faster than a HDD and roomy enough for the OS and a couple of games.

Squeezed in a 6Gb GTX1060.

Changed the case for something a little nicer all round, and it comes with two fans pre installed, so I could drop the Sickleflow.


As always this is SUGGESTED, if it's going to force you to sell body parts for it we can suggest areas where costs can be lowered without greatly compromising performance ( Drop the SSD for example or move to a 3Gb GTX1060 ).

And is that me or is the cost of your build jumping around wildly today?

 

[conorvickers1]

I've changed it up abit. Let me know if you think I should change anything up, and also, how would these parts run Modern AAA games?

[coozie7]

Note to others: OP changed his listed build from a Haswell to current.

If you can't reach for the better GTX1060, then it's OK but you'll need to lower game settings to get smooth gameplay.
Personally, I'd use another PSU, the CX of that period tend to wear out their fans fairly quickly.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from conorvickers1 : "PC SPECS & Running games?"

I have picked out these parts to build a new computer for Christmas and was just wondering if they are all compatible together? If I'm missing anything, or if theirs better parts for the price I'm missing.
Also finally how would these current specs run all the latest high demanding games?

With the help of people on here I picked out these parts, just want to get the go ahead one more time for peace of mind that all these parts will be compatible together and will cause no issues for me when building it before I start purchasing these items!

Change the psu , the old model cx are defunct & nit that great quality.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3hkwrH/corsair-power-supply-cp9020102na

The new cxm are way better.

Change the case , the versa h15 is honestly very poorly made , it doesnt deserve to house a thousand dollar system.


Rx 580 8gb & got you an ssd in for the same budget.

Changed up the power supply to this one, thanks for the heads up --- > https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XfZ4P3

As for the graphics card I'll stick to this and upgrade to an SSD afterwards.

The case, have you any suggestions for a better case for in or around the same price? Can't afford much more to be honest

 

[madmatt30]

Can you do the sama maxcool I listed above ?
Its $17 more but absolutely worth it as it as $25 worth of fans prefitted.

You really should consider the 580 I listed at $30-40 less the 1060.

Its as good , sometimes better than a 1060.

 

[conorvickers1]

I have changed the case I will be using to that one, I appreciate your help I'm happy with my decision now.
I'm still going to use the 1060 regardless because I've always owned Nvidia graphics cards before and I'm used to it, with Geforce experience etc, so this is it now
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ConorVickers1/saved/T62r6h
Until future upgrades! So roughly what to expect for gaming?
