Hi guys, I need your opinion about the components for the gaming build that i have decided to buy. Is there any change required before I finalize?
Processor:-Intel Core i7-4770K Processor 3.4 GHz
Motherboard:-ASUS Sabertooth Z87
Memory:-Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2×4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
Graphics Card:-Gigabyte NVidia GTX 660-2GB DDR5
Power Supply:-Gigabyte Superb E620 (SLI Support)

You could get an i5 and get a better graphics card.

get rid of the i7 thats not useful for gaming. get an i5 then get an gtx 760. the 660 kinda getting old

this change will be noticable in game performance

Drop the i7, get a i5 4670k or 4570 (if you don't plan on overclocking and spending extra on a cooler) and with the money saved get yourself an asus direct cuii gtx 770 or evga acx 770. Why an asus card? The best balance between power and quietness usually and a reliable brand, why an evga card? Hands down the best customer service, they have a program called step up, so if you decide you want something more powerful within 90 days they will let you ship your card back and pay the difference for a brand new card. Choice is yours there. If it were me id roll with the asus 770 and the 4570 personally. I'm not a fan of overclocking though, it doesn't make much of a difference and by the time you MIGHT need it with this processor, the new skylake CPUs will probably be out and that'll offer a lot of new things you'll want. So might as well save some money. Oh and the psu? I'm really not sure about gigabytes psu's i didn't even know they made them lol. Better off not skimping on that and getting a quality gold power supply from corsair or seasonic.

I am actually looking at this as one time investment, i am not planning to change the board or processor for a long time thats why i thought of buying the high end processor and the motherboard😍. The gtx660 was bought about 6 months back, not planning to change so early but surely will in the future, so was the power supply both were bought together also i have done some research and found out the whole system in load will only take maximum 450watts, therefore i can put one more gtx 660 in sli in future and the power supply still can take the load. But what about the performance of the ram and the board in games, will that be enough or is there any other better board or ram that would make a big difference in games.

 

[BN91]

your board and ram is good. sabertooth is a good board. and 1600 mhz of ram is plenty fast enough for games

Will this board perform better than the ASUS Maximus VI Hero??

 

[Jgriff]

No, it doesn't have as many features. The Maximus series is Asus top top of the line stuff. But saber tooth is the next step down, still great boards. I have a Asus Maximus impact itx board myself, and can't say there's anything that needs to be better about it...they are flawless boards with everything you could want really.
