Hi all,
I'm looking at building my own gaming PC to be able to max out current games such as Battlefield 4 and future games. I will be using a 144hz monitor and ideally would like to be able to max out the framerate, as much as possible. Up until now I have been gaming using a laptop which, even though it is relatively powerful, struggles with the likes of Battlefield. I've put together a list of components and just wanted some advice as to if its the best I can get.
i7 4790k (when released)
EVGA GTX 780ti Superclocked ACX Cooler
Asus Z97 - Deluxe
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8gb (2x4gb)
Crucial M500 240gb
Seagate Barracuda 2tb
Corsair RM1000 PSU
Corsair H100i
Cooler Master Cosmos 2
I do have a couple of questions as well which would be great to get cleared up. I have read that a 6gb version of the 780ti is due to be released soon. Would this be worth getting? Furthermore I am confused as to which motherboard is the best to get. I need one that will enable all the Cosmos 2 USB ports to be used, as well as having enough 6gb/s SATA ports. Is the Asus selected good or is there better? I've heard the Gigabyte boards are also meant to be great but really don't know where to start
I've priced this build up to be just under £1700 which is okay by me as long as it will provide a top gaming experience for years to come. I am planning on adding another 780ti in a couple of years to keep it running the latest games. Is that a good idea? This is also the reason why I added a 1000W power supply now to ensure that it can handle any future upgrades. Also I know the Cosmos 2 may seem a bit overkill for this build but it seems to be well above anything else I have seen in terms of build quality and cooling. I would stick with that case for a long time and upgrade around it so would be a good investment getting a good quality one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
James
