Newbie gaming pc help

[Lunatic95]

My plans:

CPU: i7-3930k
Gpu: nvidia gtx 690
RAM: Kingston beast 8gb
SSD: Samsung 840 pro 125gb
HDD: 1tb 7200rpm anything
Motherboard: something compatible but allowing to add more RAM

And I'd like to know if it will run next gen games, and how well...

Thanks in advance

This system will run all current games maxxed out with high fps.
But for gaming 8GB is more then innough but if you want to add more you can

Motherboard : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131801

this motherboard will support your cpu and up to 64 GB of ram.

I have pretty much the same setup and I would say it will run smoothly but upgrade your ram, and maybe overclock you processor

I wouldn't reccomend more then 16GB for gaming but if you're planning on doing more intense stuff add more cause with the mobo I suggested you can go up to 64GB.

What about the upcoming games? Like Watch Dogs, GTA V, etc...

I don't plan on more than gaming, so 16GB will be good I guess.

It says newbie, so I don't have the knowledge to how overclock the processor, but I'll check it...

IF you want a RAM Drive(uses the onboard RAM) which is much faster than any SSD, 16gb or more RAM is helpful. But really 8gb is plenty for gaming.

So, 16gb RAM it is... But I want to know if this PC will run next gen games well

If you've got a good CPU cooler it is fairly easy, ive got a H60 form corsair and I can clock my i7:3770k to 4.0 at 60 degrees with prime 95. But always check you voltage!

You'll atleast be 2 years future proof I think in 5 years you will be thinking of building a new system.

I'll ask around a little more and see, thanks 😀

I was thinking 4 years and then a new build, so I guess I'll go on with it...

 

[Alain123]

Yea 4 years is good too and you can later on upgrade Ram and GPU
