New PC build

[rikuks]

Hi guys

I have been playing with laptop for 2 years.
Now I'm building my first gaming PC (Alltough I got some experience)
So I will be playing 720p for upcoming year and after that I will upgrade to 1440p
Mostly I play BF 4/Hardline Tomb Raider Rust and GTA V
I want my system to be really snappy and have really fast loading times.
I already have case and hard drive for storage. I thought that I would buy second GTX 960 for SLI when I upgrade to 1440p monitor.
Any suggestions?

• 
  i5-4460 187€
  Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB 1866Mhz 50€
  MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition 128€
  Corsair CX600M 74€
  Samsung SM951 250GB M.2 SSD 230€
  Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2GB 220€
  
  Total 889€

I can barely read that. Is that a 430w psu? That is not going to run two 960s. Everything else looks ok though. How much more is the 4GB 960?

Oh sorry updated better parts list.
600W will probably do?
4GB version is 50€ more and I have to order it from another place.

950 has almost the same performance as the 960 but much cheaper. With DX12 the RAM will add so going SLI will give you 4GB.

600w is enough but the Corsair CX series is not very good. I don't like the idea of SLIing two 2GB 960. You would be better off going with a R9 280, 280x, or 4GB 380. Keep in mind that any of those AMD options would require a 750w psu to crossfire. They would perform better for your needs though.

Or just get the 2GB 960 now, forget SLI and get a better single card in the future when you make the jump to 1440p.

You could get a lower-class motherboard, but apart from that, you could get a 2.5" SSD for much cheaper than the M-2 type, but I don't know how pricing works in your country. The main issue is your GPU. The 960 is great for 1080p, but not at all for 1440p. If you want a good 1440p card, take a look at the GTX 970, or the AMD R9 390. You could SLI two 960's to get the job done as well, but in order to do that, You'll need a bigger power supply than the 430w one you picked out, and 2GB of VRAM at 1440p is not going to cut it, so You'll need to get the 4GB variants of the 960's for that configuration. In the end, I would recommend to just go ahead and get a single true 1440p card, which would be simpler and cheaper.

Okey I probably will go with 960 for now and upgrade to higher end card when I get 1440p monitor as CTurbo described.
Alltought 750ti would be cheaper and probably would be good enough for 720p right?
Would Seasonic be better?


@babernet_1 For me 950 has same price tag as 960 😛

@DuncAN3601 Yea 2.5" SSD would be cheaper but with M.2 price to performance is better.

Yes a 750ti is great for 720p. Seasonic is one of the best.
