[needhalpplz]

I finally am gunna get over my miserness and buy a new comp. my current build is as follows
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cVYsMp

I dont know really anything about this stuff, so if u can do better id appreciate it.

I wanna OC but i dont wanna go to an extreme until i need too. Whats a good OC? will that cooler work for now? I can always buy a better one later on if i need it.

Im gunna stream/game heavly with some editing. my games are archeage, WoW, arma 3, dayz, h1z1, rust, da3, witcher 3, gta5, bannerlord, skyrim w. a billion mods ect.

Im getting the i7 because friends w. i5 said its shit to stream with.

I want to sli eventually when my 1 970 isnt up to it so like a year? ill add another 8g ram too.

That case prolly wont fit that huh? if it lasts me a year im fine with that, then ill get a new case.

will that power supply be good for now as well? it wont blow up my computer right? idc about electric bill.

Will that motherboard work? with the new cpus? i cant update bios. is it any good?i read asus has some sick features for sound/gaming idk if i picked the one that doesnt tho.

usb ports i need like 3? mouse, keyboard, that wifi thing. do they come with the case or something? how do i check? sorry 0 exp in this building comp stuff.

Is the usb wifi adapter good to stream/game on or do i need something better? i have no idea how to tell the difference.

I really appreciate your time, thx for the help<3

id like to be at 1300$ or less but i can go to 1350. still gotta buy monitor/keyboard and eventually a new mouse/headset <.<

That cooler will work 'for now' but if ya want better, remounts are a lotta work so I'd suggest getting what you ultimately want up front.

The i7 is the choice for video editing

Ya want the B2 version of that PSU.... $50 on newegg

MoBo will work, Id want something more gaming oriented

200R is small for SLI

That HD is atrocious ... I'll move you from the 63rd fastest one on THgs charts to the fastest one

Should get a bigger case then the 200r for SLI.

For two 970 in SLI I would recomend getting an 850w psu for a littl emore.
Nvidia suggests a 600w for a single card, 750w might not cut it with 2 cards in SLI

I would get Hyper 212 Evo for cpu cooler.

USB Wifi is not good. If you HAVE to use wifi then go with a PCI-E wifi card. If you cant use ethernet cable which is the best method, then the next best option is a powerline networking adapter. Powerline will have less latency (delay) over wifi in gaming, which demands latency more then it does mbps.

 

[logainofhades]

850w is totally unnecessary for SLI GTX 970. My system with GTX 970 in SLI, would only use like 40w more than my system does now with a single HD 7970. :lol: Nvidia doesn't recommend a 600w PSU for one either. They recommend a 500w. The build I have above would be 492w with SLI 970. A quality 650-750w is plenty.

[JackNaylorPE]

750 is fine for twin 970s .....850s is SLI overclocked 26% pull 745 watts under Furmark from the wall which = only 670 watts PSU output ... the 970s use 100 watts less per card

I had my specs mixed up with the GTX 770 which does recommend a 600w on geforce.com.

Kudos on the fact-check.

TYVM everyone one question about the motherboard tho im scared of the reviews. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130769&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

would logainofhade's motherboard work with that build or are the problems just a newegg thing?

also is there a 1TB version of that HD? im used to a 300gb one im positive i wont use 2tb

 

[needhalpplz]

also whats this mean? The Mushkin Redline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

the reviews are outstanding .... not many were done for the Z97 version as the Z87 was reviewed a lot and the Z97 is just the Z87 with the new chipset.


http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/msi_z87_gd65_gaming/12.htm

MSI has been using components that meet or exceed MIL-STD-810G for some time as part of its Military Class build philosophy. Parts such as Super Ferrite Chokes that run at up to 35 degree Celsius lower temperatures, have a 30% higher current handling capacity, and a 20% improvement in power efficiency; Tantalum filled Hi-C Caps that are are up to 93% efficient; and "Dark Capacitors" that feature Lower ESR and a ten-year lifespan all tied into a PCB with improved temperature and humidity protections as part of the "Military Essentials" package......In the end MSI's Z87-GD65 is a board that comes with an expansive feature set that includes all your basics and the extras that set them apart such as the V-Check points, upper end audio, Dual BIOS ROMs, KIller Network package, Military Class IV package, and a three-year warranty. Couple that with good looks that carry the dragon theme through the board, and you have a winning combination at $189.

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/msi_z87_gd65_gaming_review/15

Now and again a motherboard appears that is so obviously brilliant, and so affordable, that we wonder if anything will be able to top it. For a while that crown was held by the ASUS Sabertooth, both in X58 and then P67 variants. Then MSI stole the crown with the Z77 MPower. Looking at the Z87 GD65 Gaming we think it's going to take something extraordinary to top it, such is the perfect storm of price, performance, features and looks.

The switch to Military Class 4 has given us an extremely ready overclocker too. You're always thermally limited when overclocking and the i7-4770K is one of the most demanding around. Considering the amount of cooling we're using we think that although the GD65 is capable of bringing 5GHz from our i7-4770K you'd need a proper water loop to make the most of it.

Performance is outstanding. The stock results were a particular highlight. We know a lot of people still just like to put their CPU in and go, without overclocking it first. Despite how easy it is these days we know that the fear factor still exists. So you'll be glad to know that the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming really rocks hard even at stock settings. Naturally the overclocking is blistering too, with some OC3D records broken.

MSI have laid the gauntlet down to all the other manufacturers. Gorgeous to look at, blistering performance and all at a very affordable price, the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming is not only the new benchmark for Z87 motherboards, but probably for all motherboards.

As for the HD
