Help me build my normal budget gaming PC

[Guest]

Items
CPU Intel Core i5-4690K BOX (3.5GHz, LGA1150, VGA)
Coolermaster Hyper 212 + EVO cooler and Skt. FM1
ASUS Z97-A
DVDRW/RAM Samsung SH-224 dB 24x SATA Black Bulk
1TB HDD 7200rpm WD10EZEX 64 MB SATAIII/600 2RZ
AEROCOOL PC fan SILENT MASTER WHITE LED, 200x200x20mm
CoolerMaster caseK350, USB3.0 supply 600W Thunder
8 GB DDR3-1866MHz Kingston HyperX Fury White, 2x4GB

I did not chose GPU yet because most of them are expensive, for all these items total is 857.00 $
I am unable to buy anything from sites such as new egg and amazon because they do not ship to my country.
I am buying from : http://gear-up.me

After doing a lot of searching I finally decided to select them.
I have a doubt with the mother board, is there any better ones?
The case also, is it good?

Some questions :
Will I be able to play Far cry 4 at max settings? my resolution is 1280x1024
Will this system get outdated very fast?

Or without building my own is it good to buy from here? http://www.ironsidecomputers.com/nemesis.php

Any suggestions or if any improvements have to be made let me know!


Thank you

I think you spend to much on the cpu, a i5 4460 will be more than enough and that's a 80$ less so you can invest in a good gpu as gtx 760 or gtx 970 if you have the money. In games The gpu is the one that counts the most, having a quad core cpu is all that you need. If you plan to play at that resolution a Gtx 750 ti will smoke every game out there and can do more than that. this is the baby for you http://gear-up.me/graphics-card/pci-express/msi-n750ti-2gd5-ocv1.html

Thanks a lot for the reply! i5 4460 is only 80$ less and you sure it is worth it because I don't want it to get outdated soon and right now I have GT 620 which is kinda old and compared to the one in the link it will be a huge improvement right?

In my opinion the $80 is worth keeping the 4690k. It's only like $208 right now on amazon and from tiger direct. It's 3.5 vs 3.2 for the 4460 and the 4460 is locked where the 4690k can be overclocked usually to 4.4-4.6ghz . Being a devil's canyon (haswell refresh) they were supposed to have fixed the issue with the tim material causing varying core temps on the older haswells.

While it's true the gpu does a lot of work for games, it's not the only part. Many games are becoming more and more cpu intensive. Depends on the game, but if you want the extra power and you're already vested in a 4460 chances are you won't upgrade.

After some checking, it's not an $80 difference in price. The 4460 is $185, the 4690k is $208. That's a $23 difference.

for a case check out the phantek enthoo pro, its a beast of a case at a great price of 99$. what is your max budget??? if youre willing to spend between 200-300 on a gpu you should be good and if you are really on a budget go for a amd build.

 

[aocasio2891]

amd build- this is using u.s sites im short on time so i cant convert it for you sorry

you can save a little if you cut out the fans,. also go with a cheaper case, power supply, and cpu cooler.

 

[synphul]

Not trying to argue anyone, but if you don't have any case fans you'll need at least a couple. Bare minimum, an intake and exhaust, so that's not 'unnecessary' stuff. Also I wouldn't go with a cheap psu for the sake of cutting corners and saving money. That's not a component you can cheap out on, you'll forget it's there (or should be able to) - but cheap ones cause nothing but issues and worst case scenario can compromise your high end components. It's the heart of the system aside from the cpu since it's tasked with providing clean stable power to every component. A lesser quality psu will cause graphics card instability, can short components, cause all sorts of flaky problems.

 

[aocasio2891]

i only said fans cause the enthoo comes with a 200mm front intake and a rear 120 exhaust
it also has open vents for airflow
