[Alexnoob]

So I finally picked my parts to make my first gaming PC. I will also use this for some video editing that's why I went with the I7. But it's mostly for gaming.

Ok guys so here's the deal I want to know

1. Will this computer run most games on ultra?

2. Do I have anything I left out? Will I need a wifi adapter?

3. Most importantly my case is a Corsair Obsidian Series 750D and I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO I bought. I'm not sure how many more fans to add in or what? I don't want it to overheat, need some advice on that guys.

4. Will all parts get along? Lol

Thanks guys this is my first build and I'm excited I'm hoping to get this answered so I can get most parts before the weekend and get started.

You all been very helpful and I hope you can help me one last time with this. Thanks again!

Looks good enough... But get a better PSU, you have the price for it, such as EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W. The case is fine, but you may be able to get a Fractal Design R4 instead. The motherboard... Looking at the price, it's good but there's better, such as AsROCK Z97 Extreme4. The GTX 970 is only 15% worse, but it's a complete $200 less. Use that money to afford for 2 GTX 970s instead.

 

[CTurbo]

I was also going to say get the EVGA G2 750w instead of the G1 you listed. It's newer, better, and comes with a 10yr warranty. The GTX980 is great but it's way overpriced. You can get two 290x for under $600 that would destroy a single 980 in performance or two 290 that would still easily beat a single 980 for under $500. The GTX970 is a much better value at $329 if you insist on nvidia. Everything else looks good.

 

[Alexnoob]

Interesting, might downgrade to the 970 then...


What about the fan issue guys? How many fans would I be needing. I'm a Little lost here...

 

[CTurbo]

The 750d comes with three 140mm fans and that should be plenty honestly. You can always add more later if you want. I think the case holds like 8 fans total.

 

[Alexnoob]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help.

So I replaced my above motherboard with

ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

After your suggestions I also replaced My video card with the

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming GDDR5 Pcie Video Graphics Card, 4GB

And my power unit replaced with


EVGA SuperNOVA 850G2 80PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 850W Power Supply 220-G2-0850-XR

(I upgraded that way I can sli another 970 in the future)

Ok so I think that covers it all and I'm ready to order! Lol just need conformation, everything looks good guys? 😀

 

[Alexnoob]

Bump

This is pretty much the last thing I want to confirm thank you all very much.

 

[RCFProd]

Take the time to research all the GTX 970 models as some have other/better features. Personally I would take the Asus Strix instead of the Gigabyte one. Other than that I see no problems.

 

[CTurbo]

Get the i7 4790k instead of the 4770k.

 

[Alexnoob]

Sorry I meant the i7 4790k my bad just put it wrong.

 

[Alexnoob]

Rcf I see what you mean , asus fans will not run unless it needs to... As In the g1 fans stay running. Will the performance be the same?

 

[RCFProd]

That is just what I like about the Strix. However, reviewers say the cooling situation of the Gaming G1 is better, ofcourse because it has 3 fans which are always running. I think the Gaming G1 because of that is also better for overclocking.

You know what? Just roll with the Gaming G1. The features of the Asus Strix might just make cooling a bit worse.

 

[Alexnoob]

Ah got it, thanks man and thanks everyone I'm ordering it now!

 

[jollypirate]

Beast build it will be able to play ALL with maxed out settings.looks like all of the other question have been answered so iltry to help you with the fans as best as i can.As the case already comes with 3 fans i dont think more will be necesarry, maybe one extra intake at the bottom but that is unnecesarry.The layout should be like this: two intakes and the front, one exaust at the back and the cpu cooler shoul be in line with the airflow, the fan on the cooler should also be runing in the same direction as the airflow.

 

[Alexnoob]

Thanks so much jolly that was exactly the last thing I needed I am all set! I wish I could give you all best answers.

You guys been extremely helpful and I'm confident on this build.

They get here on Saturday! Lol

 

[jollypirate]

cool, good luck with building, also when you sli you should consider adding some more fans for the extra heat the gpus will generate
