mid gaming rig

im planning on this build do you think its good enough and will not have compatibility issues?

Asus Z87M-PLUS Motherboard
Kingston SSDNOW V300 120GB Sata SSD
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866mhz Gamer's Overclocking Memory
Seasonic M12II-520 Evo 80Plus Bronze
Deepcool Tesseract SW Side Window Metal Mesh USB 3.0 Blue LED Gaming Case
intel core i7-4790(non-k)
gtx 970

win 7 64bit ultimate

For a 4790 you should get a H97 or Z97 motherboard. The Z87 may not support your CPU without a bios update and without a compatible CPU you cant do the bios update.

yes the ssd is for OS only and i plan to buy an HDD to install games, forgot to put it there, ill just be gaming on 1080p and will play A-AAA games, the asus z87m-plus is socket 1150

If you aren't going to overclock than go H97. Tell me your budget please!

As was mentioned earlier a H97 motherboard is best for your situation.

 

[sizzling]

Just because the Z87 board is lga 1150 does not automatically mean the 4790 will work. Only the H97 or Z97 are guaranteed to have a bios which supports that CPU. If you have to update a Z87 board bios you need a compatible CPU (not a 4790) to do it

I don't think so overclocking is required because overclocking is required desperately at that moment when you face bottlenecks and can't afford a new CPU another thing is that overclocking is very risky to do,and so it avoids warranty of CPU life span.So,whatever kid do as you like!!! Results will be obtained after you built this custom gaming rig and play a game.

dude, i don't think you know exactly what your talking about. like sizzling said, you have to BIOS update with a compatible CPU, and you can't overclock on a non K processor. And the intel processors already have enough power,
they aren't going to bottleneck a 970, 980, r9 295x2, or a 980 ti. Do you know how bottlenecks work? It's not desperate, and a bottleneck only occurs when one part can't keep up with another, and the bottleneck would only appear in CPU intensive games. I don't want to go into detail on how it works.

Can you please give us a budget so we can give you a better build for gaming, oh and if your only gaming or like not streaming, than an I5 is fine for you, and the i7 would be a waste of money that you can spend on an SSD, or PSU, or GPU.

my budget in PH pesos would be 40-45K, in USD that would be 900-1k, and i live in the philippines so prices in the US would differ

which 970 are you going with? and do you have some specific colors that you want in your build?

any gtx 970 will do as long as not a reference card, any color will do as the cpu will be hidden under the table, although good airflow is a must

oh sorry the auto correct on my friends laptop messed that up. I wanted to know if you would get all the parts you listed now, how many php would that be? also if i had to make any changes, it would be get a 4690 or 4590, get a h97 mobo, get a power supply with at least 650 watts, and thats it.
