How is this gaming build?

[kian2attari]

Hello!

I have never built a PC before. I was looking to make a PC mostly for gaming and also some (little, I am just learning) video editing, programming and normal desktop usage and whatnot.

I have done a bit of research and have come up with this.

I wanted to ask for any opinions or suggestions on the build(especially things like the case which I care more about the interior of) . My budget is around $1000 and I live in the US.

I am mostly looking for around 60+fps on 1080x1920(even better if more is possible) or the best graphics possible for atleast a couple more years. I normally play the new games like Battlefield, Dying Light, COD, Far Cry etc

Thank you!

Okay so first you dont need to be overclocking. especially if your first time and you not going to be doing hectic things yet so heres a list i will make for you :
CPU: Intel i5 4460 3.2GHz quad core
GPU: you can keep that one. but i would reccomend the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970, 4GB, DDR5, PCI-Express 3.0, G1 GAMING Ed. about $16 diffrence and not much diffrence just preffer it.
Ram : if you going to be doing some video editing you willl be needing 16gb ram
if you going with g.skill heres one: G.SKILL Ares, 16GB Kit, DDR3-1866, CL10, Blue
and heres good quality one: Kingston HyperX Fury, 16GB Kit, DDR3-1866, CL10
HDD: Good
SSD: if you want to get you you can try samsung evo 128gb or the 250gb up to you.
PSU: try a 620w bronze certified. SeaSonic and antec have some nice ones.
Motherboard is good, but if you want to have a look you can try the MSI H97 GAMING 3, LGA1150, Intel H97 Chipset, ATX
or the GIGABYTE H97-GAMING 3, LGA1150, Intel H97 Chipset, ATX.
Case is good.
hope it helped.

Thank you for your reply!,

About the processor though. I noticed that Microcenter offers the 4960 for $200 so I think the $10 dollar difference ia worth the extra performance. Is that correct?

You need a z97 mobo to overclock that k series processor, and you can go for the evga 750w b2 PSU, all in all not a bad build, almost matches mine 😀
