My gaming pc build!

[Thecr04]

So for my build i do not want to upgrade my graphics card any higher as the 280x is severely more expensive towards my budget build, and i dont intend to fully max out games..
I have updated my build...
- Case: NZXT PHANTOM 410 WHITE MID TOWER: $125
- CPU: Intel i5-4690K – $277
- CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 – $88
- HDD: Seagate 2TB – $93
- SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB – $84
- RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3-1600 8GB – $100
- MOBO: ASRock Z97 PRO4 ATX – $150
- CD/DVD Writer: Samsung 24x Writer – $25
- PSU: 750W FSP Modular 80PLUS Gold – $145
- Graphics Card: Gigabyte 3GB Radeon R9 280 – $259
Total – $1346
Fits my budget and i have all i need just wondering if anything is bad?
These prices are off https://www.arc.com.au/
I really like the case, that cooler has really good reviews, the fsp seems good, also im going for a white case and blue component theme. e.g. blue motherboard, ram etc..
Any response would be great! THX! 😀

If you dropped the cooler, you can get the 280x and max out all games, you don't need to overclock atm, it's better to get something that is going to take a while to replace than to spend it on a cpu cooler which can always be bought later

What cpu cooler do u recommend? Is the hyper 212 evo any good because on the website (arc) they say its got 40,000 hours of use and the hyper 212x has got like 120,000!? (Hyper 212x cost more tho)
Cheers

You only need a cpu cooler if you plan on overclocking, you can just use the stock cooler for the time being and use the money on a 280x, then save up money after you've built the pc to get the noctua nh d14 later on

Is this graphics card good? www.arc.com.au/pub.php?pid=54828&p=product

 

[legend001523]

yes, not bad but a sapphire r9 280x tri x will be better

 

[Thecr04]

First of all the tri x isnt on arc.com.au and secondly its getting a bit expensive.
Is it worth the extra money for a 280x than just a 280?
Im not going to be playing any higher than 1080p because ill have to buy a 1440p monitor, wont i?

 

[legend001523]

oh, taht card will be fine then., the one you listed before, and it's worth it, you can get ultra with it whereas a 280 gets high on 1080p

 

[Thecr04]

Alright thanks for the info.. Ill look into it a bit more!
Also is everything else in my build all good?
Cheers 😉

 

[legend001523]

yes everything else is fine

 

[Thecr04]

Cool, thx for your help
