Is this gaming build good?

Here is a link to the build.

The graphics card will be later upgraded to this once I get enough money

This is my first build, and I have been resarching it for a while.

I hope for it to run last gen games well, and once the graphics card is upgraded, I expect for it to run this gen's games very well.

If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to share below.

it all looks great and will handle your upgrade when you decide to go for it.

Thanks!

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

no problem!!

With regards to your future upgrade with the GTX 760 (4GB), don't even bother. Most likely it will be outdated by the time you choose to purchase it. Maxwell is working wonders with the GTX 750Ti (I believe by the end of the year will start seeing the high end stuff). IF you're seriously gonna want to game at 1080p (mid-high) you're talking at least $180+ investment

Best Luck

Good point, I guess well have to wait and see what happens
Plus, it will be a few months until I can afford the PC, and even longer for the graphics card.

if the scaling is anything like the mobile graphics that were leaked the 860 will pretty much be a 770 form the performance charts ive seen, but thats just a guess

Woah! Besides the mobo, case and GPU this is almost exactly the same as my original build
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GamingGecko/saved/3Wvf

But I wanted it to last as long as possible, so I switched the CPU to Intel and made some other changes. I'm pretty sure that Intel processors last longer and are faster. But thanks for the contribution!

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

it has better performance at will last longer as performance goes

In the event you don't have any of this cash on hand, just worry about saving up. The only components that are radically changing are the GPU's. Intel's haswell has another year in it before it can make a change to broadwell (and even then haswell components will have an avg lifed of 4+ years).

Just know about the components and how much you can get out of them before you have more cash for an upgrade (and wether or not you really are going to use them to the max. For example, not great sense to purchase a 780 if you're going to be gaming once a month or playing minecraft on it).

Yup. I sure hope that the broadwell-d series comes sometime during 2014 though.

broadwells rumored specs arent really that impressive, it is just i die shrink with better factory performance but less overclock overhead and more geared towards mobile platforms. skylake should be the next big processor jump. i would go with haswell or haswell-e at the end of the year if you can afford it, but the maxwell gpus look promising and should be here by the end of summer. and just for reference a i5 from 2009 can still handle a 770 without bottlenecking it so haswell should last just as long
