Good enough for years of gaming?

[Jack Poole]

Hello! I have found all the parts I need for my next PC. I was wondering if this PC will be able to run games coming out in the future. Thanks!

Motherboard: MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-GD65

Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache

Case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-1

Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Power Supply: Thermaltake Power Supply 240-Pin 1200 Power Supply

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 290 Gaming OC 4GB GDDR5

SSD: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB

Thanks again!

Yep! That'll do great for many years to come.
I'd recommend the Sapphire Tri-X version of the 290 though, and an EVGA G2 1000W over the Thermaltake. It'll provide more than enough voltage and still gives to plenty of headroom to crossfire later on.

I would go with low profile ram so that it doesn't interfere with the cooler.

Get an ASUS or Gigabyte board MSI has poor QC.

 

[Alex Kelly]

Yeah, I suppose an Asus Z97 ROG Hero would be a better option for a similar price.

Thanks Guys!

a bit overkill on some parts but really strong build, you could get a 290x and get a 850W PSU which would be enough for almost everything.

 

[Alex Kelly]

Eh, the 290X isn't a good value card in my opinion. You could most likely OC the Tri-X 290 to that of a 290X. The 290X doesn't have much OC headroom at all.
You could also wait until the GTX 800 series comes out in the next month or two.
And no worries!

Thanks for the tips! I think Im going to go with the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5. Do you think that will be good enough for gaming?

For sure! It's a great card for gaming. You'll be able to max out any game at 1080p.
