days on end of research and iv found that the 4570 will be good since i dont want to pay extra for a mobo and cooler to oc a 4670k. will this be good for next gen gaming with archeage, titanfall, arma 3 and whatnot? any suggestion on parts i picked to lower cost please let me know.

Is this your max budget or can you spend a little more?

You have a very good CPU, RAM and GPU. I personally wouldve spend a little more for a Caviar black HDD as it has better performance but people tend to say the caviar blue is the sweet spot between performance and power consumption and is best for home PCs. The B85 is more of a business oriented chipset but it costs less than an H87 or a Z87. It still does the job and is very reliable.

Overall, you did some pretty research and this build seems amazing for the price. The fact that you're paying less for a motherboard and an HDD as well as the power supply give you the opportunity to buy a very good cpu and gpu. I think the only thing you could lower in terms of price, and I say could but not need, is the gpu. It's the biggest part of the budget but the one that will determine your gaming experience. I think this will sure be enough for modern gaming as this GPU will last for quite some time.

Hope this helps!

i could prolly spend AT MAX 900 would like to keep cost as low as possible. only reason i didnt go with a z mobo is because i dont plan on overclocking. i also dont want to have to be upgrading for another 3-4 years.

You won't regret it, because you only live once, so don't settle for anything inferior!
:lol:

 

[Death Prodigy]

Of course, you don't need to take my word for it. Just something that I would buy as a budget build
:lol:

hey thanks! its only 35k over budget! ill see if i have the extra cash layin around.

 

[Death Prodigy]

Yeah, you sure have! And best part is, you won't go broke after buying a 35K PC and you'll still have lots of money left over

 

[Death Prodigy]

It's one hell of a worthy build, you'll be envied by everyone and it will be future-proof at 4K gaming for the next 10 years! All for the meagre cost of only 35K :lol: which even I don't have.

OK down to sanity now.
