Is this a compatible rig????

[tomredwood]

Hi guys just would like a heads up on what you think.
Intel i5-4690k
Z87 mpower sp mobo
Corsair vengeance pro red ddr3 2400mhz 8gb (2x4gb)
Cooler master hyper 212evo cpu cooler
800w psu
cit xecutioner case
Benq rl244mh (I think that's the model☺)

Now I'm not sure which graphix to go for.
I really like the read up for the msi gtx 760 2gb oc (is the 4gb any better?is can't find anything on it) or which other gpu is good and compatible for this rig. I will be moderately gaming @ 1080p. I won't be over clocking all the time,in fact I think very rarely but I do want the facility to do so without nuking the rig.
any advice is good advice.
kind regards
Tom

what exactly is that PSU? There's no point in having the system if the PSU is not a decent unit. A low quality unit is a risk to a system.

As for the GPU, the 760 should do just fine, but you could probably find a r9 280x maybe for around the price of the gtx 760. The 760 should be able to play games decently though.

As for overclocking, if you don't really plan on overclocking, just get a nonoverclocking chip, the turbo should be just fine when you need it. If you are overclocking, maybe consider getting a z97 motherboard instead of a z87 to avoid possible bios update issues.

it is a compatible and good build, but what is your budget for a build, and do you need any peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, OS ect..)?

 

[tomredwood]

Hi David. I don't need any peripherals as have already sourced from friends and family etc. As to the mobo I have already bought it.lol

 

[tomredwood]

Also forgot to mention the budget is £550-£600. The psu came when purchased the cit case....would you recommend using a higher quality such as aero cool? ?

 

[Calnin]

Aerocool isn't a quality brand as far as I'm aware. Sacrifice on the RAM for a better PSU if that budget makes a difference in trying to get a XFX/Seasonic/EVGA unit or something.

It is a artic blue+ that came with the case

Usually PSUs that come with cases aren't very good...
