Is This A good Gaming PC Build

[Codentheus]

Hi everyonye im new here and I was going to buy a new gaming pc with the money I got for Christmas. I was was wondering if this is a good build and if it would even work. Im not very experienced with computers, although I have been researching as much as posssible on what parts are important in a gaming pc. If there is anything that you think could use improvements, please let me know. All comments are appreciated.
(p.s) I was planning on buying from Cyberpower. I know it would be cheaper to build my own, but like I said, im not very experienced with computers.

ill recommend gtx 970 instead of AMD
and what u mean by pro oc

 

[Math Geek]

i would save the money from the i7 and go with an i5-4690k. put the extra dollars into a gtx 970 and you will have an awesome gaming pc.

as a side note, i would not bother with the oc unless it is free the software that comes with the motherboard will easily do what they are planning on doing for you and it is free with the system. basically, they will use the included software to turn up the cpu a little bit which you can do yourself. it is VERY easy to dfo with the software and is simply clicking a button and letting it figure out stable oc speeds for you.

 

[Codentheus]

Thank you for the responses. I will most likely be getting the gtx 970. (also the pro oc just means overlock, and its only 10 extra bucks)

Prebuilts are terrible value. You can build something more powerful for less. The PSU you get is garbage, not even 80+ bronze. This will give you better performance, expandability for less. You don't have to be a tech expert to build a pc.

well for $10 i guess the oc is not a total scam i have dealt with the site before and thought i remembered it being like $30 or so.

enjoy your new gaming rig.

 

[Codentheus]

Trossa what do mean by PSU?

 

[Trossa]

Power supply.

 

[Math Geek]

he is saying not all the psu's they use are top quality. you don't need 800 watts but do need a quality psu. they have a few but you have to go through the list and pick out the good ones.

these 2 are the better one's they will put in. pick either one and you are good to go with a quality power supply. they both will power you're system and some. either will even allow for sli 970's later on if you so chose

650 Watts - Corsair TX650M 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply
750 Watts - EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply

 

[Codentheus]

Oh I see. Out of everything on my list that was the thing I was most worried about. I will definitely change that and possibly other things to what you reccomended, thanks. Also when you say build your own, like I said earlier I have hardly PC experience, so building one is pretty much a no go.

 

[Trossa]

If you want to pay $300+ more than what the build is worth, go right ahead. Building a pc is ridiculously easy if you follow instructions. Here's a good link

Also as a side note, what do you guys think the fps with this rig would be on some games like Battlefield, Skyrim, Farcry 4 and such.

 

[Trossa]

With my build, 60+ 1080p ultra settings with 4xMSAA

 

[Codentheus]

ok thanks for the help everyone.

 

[Math Geek]

all the 970 benchmarks i have seen say you will see crazy fps on every game out there with that rig at 1080p and even 1440p. it won't start to struggle until you start triple 1080p set-up's and such.

and to trossa, i know how folks feel about prebuilts (i feel the same) but this site is actually pretty well priced. there is usually only around $150 premium price over the part's cost. getting to pick quality parts and only paying a small premium is not that bad for someone who just won't build it themselves. i have even priced out a few systems for folks that almost matched current prices available. they do some awesome sales and free upgrades all the time.

i know we'd rather everyone build their own but this is a good compromise if they won't.
