Hey man, MMO tend to be CPU intensive, and because of that are less likely to be easy to max out with constant smooth fps. Just a heads up.

What other games do you play btw? Also what country do you live in?

That build isn't a strict gaming build, and 7870's aren't really around anymore. I'd go with a i5/280x or 770 build. Drop the 240gb ssd, get a caviar blue 1 tb, and come out around a little cheaper with much higher fps.

Here you go. I put in a SSD and HDD, 770. I used a i5-4670k, you could save 15 by not going with a k... I didn't skimp, and you can shave a lot off of this.. Still well with in your $1500 max, and a very nice system.

It's more than just $15 difference between the 4670 and 4670k if you're going to overclock. It's $15 + $33 for the cooler + $75 extra spent on the Z87 motherboard and all that adds up to whopping $123

Thanks alot guys )

Dude... You didn't add in a OS, or CPU cooler... You use random crazy websites and stores which will add in tax.. There is no way those systems will cost that price. You know that, and I know that...

I didn't realize the R9 290s came down in price... I'd get one of them.


*Who is going to build a $1,000 + computer with out so much as a OS or after market cooler?

 

[CTurbo]

An aftermarket cpu cooler is absolutely not necessary in a 4670 + H87 motherboard build.


He did not mention that he needed to buy windows. A lot of people do not need to buy windows.


Which one of those stores is "crazy" and "random" because I have bought from all of them except microcenter.

partpicker includes shipping in the cost. Tax is determined by whether or not you live in a state which contains one of the stores warehouses. Your build could contain tax just as easily as mine.

I always add in the a OS, unless they say they don't need it.

They can't add tax into those prices, since it doesn't know where you're ordering from.

I've never seen Newegg add in tax, though it's out of state. Amazon doesn't charge tax in most places.

Not adding a after market cooler only leads to issues. He'll be "that guy" on steam not knowing why his games are running like crap.


You did squeeze some impressive power into such a budget I'll give you that. However, at the price range I like having the total package. Such as, a beefy mobo, high quality storage... That's personal preference though.

Even though they will cost more, your builds did put a lot of power into a cheap package. Nice.

I was very surprised at how cheap the 290's are now! I'd go with a 290 at that price over a 770 any day.

 

[MalakiArtook]

not everyone uses windows.(i use linux) Cpus come with a perfectly good cpu cooler

Then remove windows and my build is even cheaper. =D

Good luck tossing 2 "R9 290's" into a $50 case running a CPU without a aftermarket cooler.

I build reasonable systems, that won't be a thermal nightmare waiting to happen.

It is what it is. =D

 

[CTurbo]

Honestly, the stock cooler will perform more than adequately at stock speeds for forever assuming there is even a hint of airflow in the case. AMD and Intel would not include it in the box with a warranty if it didn't work. Noise is usually the biggest issue with stock coolers. He can always add one at a later time if he wishes. It certainly doesn't hurt.


I'm pretty sure all online suppliers must charge tax if one of it's warehouses resides in the state of purchase. amazon may be the exception to that somehow.


I normally recommend the Sapphire Tri-X 290 but the WINDFORCEs are on sale at an unbeatable price right now.

 

[CTurbo]

I've actually build almost this exact build twice now and neither time did I use an aftermarket cooler, and there are zero problems with temps.

Same RAM, ssd, hdd, gpu. Both builds have a 4570 instead of 4670. Both builds use B85 motherboards. Both builds use Seasonic psus(one Antec)

One build uses $50ish cases with 4 fans.


No issues.

No issues.

Yea, this one with the 780 makes a lot more sense. I'd still fit in a after market cooler... I mean, it's only $30 bucks. Basically a trade off here, better parts for better GPU. A very good system.

The other one, with two R9's... I mean, I wouldn't make it for a friend. =D

 

[chargeit]

Well here you go, I made adjustments based off of some of your picks to lessen the cost of my first build... I did leave in the aftermarket cooler and windows OS... I stayed with the 770 since it is still a very nice GPU, and can handle ultra at 1080p... I also left in the WD black, I did change to the SSD you picked.

So, if you removed windows and the hyper 212 evo from this build it would be $960.

**Not taking full credit for this, since I used some of your picks. Figured I'd put it down here as a lower cost option. =D
