I agree with these parts but I've read reviews on asrock mobo and they seem unreliable.

 

[ben001]

Can you send me that link?. Still, you shouldn't have to be worry about it or you replace it to ASRock H97M PRO4/ H97 PRO4.

 

[Zodiac258]

It wasn't on this board tho and the only bad thing Ive read is the sound quality but that won't be a problem with a head set

 

[Zodiac258]

The mobo and video card arn't compatible did you know that?

 

[ben001]

It wasn't on this board tho and the only bad thing Ive read is the sound quality but that won't be a problem with a head set

The only thing i care is that about the heat sink. The H97 PRO4 have better heat sink than the anniversary edition and i know that is the only problem people hesitate to get it otherwise the board is pretty decent on such amount.

 

[Zodiac258]

Yes but the mobo and video card is not compatible.

 

[ben001]

All modern motherboards can handle gtx 980 Ti as long they have PCI-E x16 gen 2.0/3.0 slot.

 

[Zodiac258]

What I'm seeing is that the motherboard doesn't support sli

 

[ben001]

Yes, you don't need to sli unless you're going to run dual display's. For a single card, you will get enough performance even in a 4K monitor with that card.

Best of luck for your build .

 

[wcushing75]

Grab the Intel I5 4690k (Devil's Canyon) and the Asus z97-a motherboard and a swiftech liquid cooler for cpu so you can over clock as needed then a gtx 980 and you should be under 1600 and good to go.

 

[Zodiac258]

I'm not planing to over lock

 

[Zodiac258]

I'll be using this pc for mostly league of legends, Starcraft, elite dangerous, and fallout 4 which comes out nov 10.
