New PC Build!!

[Vargos]

Greetings fellow PC lovers!

well, I decided to build a pc on my own (yay) and I'd like to hear some extra opinions before procceeding in buying!!!

So, how the build is (in my mind)

CPU: Intel i5-4570

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 760

RAM: Kingston BS DDR3 1600MHZ 8GB(2X4G)

PSU: Corsair CX750M Modular 80+ Bronze

HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB

SSD:Sandisk 128GB

CD/DVD Drive: Samsung DVD-RW SH-224DB/BEBE

And I will decide for the case last, depending on the inner build 😛

I want my pc to run games like Assasin's: Unity, Shadow of Mordor, Krysis 3, Elder Scrolls Online, WoW, Cod, BF4 and many others! Also, I want it to be capable of running programs of video recording and editing, music mixing (with a sound card ofcourse) and stuff like that!!

Last, I'd like to thank you for your time in advance and apologise for any grammar mistakes but I'm Greek 😛
Every opinion's welcome! 😀

If your budget allows it, drop the i5-4570 to the i5-4460 and try to buy the GTX 970.

I heard corsair are not so good anymore, look for XFX, EVGA or Antec.

Sandisk SSD, what model? There's a particular series of Sandisk SSDs that are significantly slow.

If you're looking at video editing and other intense media editing programs, you may be further off going with an i7 series CPU. For gaming only though, the i5 is better.

So first off we need a budget. Also using a tool like pcpartpicker.com will help you price your build and find parts. Off the top of my head the GTX 760 is no longer best bang for buck in that range, the R9 280X is pretty close and preforms nearly on par with a GTX 770

No overpriced i7................ XEON!!!!

This seems to be what you are suggesting. You need a motherboard and a case.

Here's how I would change it for a better system.

Are these parts available at theses sorts of prices, if not can you post a link to a site where we might look and ass what is available.

 

[Because0789]

Yeah if you don't have an unlocked CPU and plan on overclocking there is no reason to spend so much on an aftermarket cooler, the H100i would be overkill, unless you actually meant the i5-4690k.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

I'm guessing that the build is influenced by local availability of parts and a different relative pricing calculus.

 

[Vargos]

First, I'd like to thank you all for taking time and answering! also, apologises for late replying but i had some problems with my internet connection..

If your budget allows it, drop the i5-4570 to the i5-4460 and try to buy the GTX 970.

I heard corsair are not so good anymore, look for XFX, EVGA or Antec.

Sandisk SSD, what model? There's a particular series of Sandisk SSDs that are significantly slow.

Well, where I live (Greece), these two gpus have about 130 euros diff. so, I can't afford it.. Also, there is no store selling any gpu in about the same price with 760 -.-
I'm afraid that only water coolers around here is Corsair 😛 The issue is, I should get an h100i or h80i? :/
it's a Sandisk Extreme II

If you're looking at video editing and other intense media editing programs, you may be further off going with an i7 series CPU. For gaming only though, the i5 is better.

Actually, I'm not planning on using ''heavy duty'' editing programs, I just want to start ''training'' for a Univerity.. So, I don't really think that I'd have any problem even with the i5

So first off we need a budget. Also using a tool like pcpartpicker.com will help you price your build and find parts. Off the top of my head the GTX 760 is no longer best bang for buck in that range, the R9 280X is pretty close and preforms nearly on par with a GTX 770

My budget (without monitor, periphericals and ups) is about 850 euros. The 280x is about 70 euros more expensive :/

Yeah, I totally forgot adding the mobo, sorry! It's an Gigabyte B85-HD3, best I can find in that store and at this price, next better is double the price.. Sadly, I can not find the gtx 970 around here, nor any n-vidia gpus that I can afford 🙁

No, I didn't mean 4690k, and, to be honest, I'm still a bit afraid of attempting to overclock, esecially in my first build, so I'm just gonna get a locked cpu 😛 But, You think h80i would be ok for that cpu?

Forr once again I'd like to thank everyone for answering 😀

 

[Vargos]

Actually, I'm also planning on getting another gpu (gtx 760) for SLI.. You think It'll work good?

 

[Vlad Rose]

If you're going with a locked CPU, the stock cooler is sufficient for cooling, so the h80i should be overkill.

I see.. Well then, I'll stay with the stock cooler and place a bunch of fans in the case 😛
