Newbie System Build

[jrmartin76]

I'm building a system for the first time after having a Dell for the past 6-7 years. Not for sure what I'm doing but here are the components that I have on a wish list so far...

ASUS Z97-WS LGA1150 Intel motherboard
Intel i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad Core 4.0Ghz processor
EVGA 220-P2-1000-XR 1000w power supply
Corsair Vengance pro 16gb 240 pin DDR3 2933 memory
EVGA GeForce GTX1070 8gb GDDR5 DX12 graphics card

Will this power most of the games that are out there today? My kids are big into most online games and just want to make sure that I have something that will not create alot of lag for them.

Thank you

1000W is more than enough. If you don't need much over ocing your cpu you can go for a standart 4790 instead. This build is great.

why not go 1151 ?

and a 850W PSU will be fine even if you go sli down the raod they say a 500 W with that gpu and full system full and if you add a second GPU at 150W that's 650W + ocing if you like a 850W is plenty

if your not into OCing and going sli

What's the difference b/w the 1150 and 1151? I'm sure I'm about to get over my head on this lol

1151 can support Skylake cpu

1150 is older 1151 is newer 1151 has M.2 USB 3.1 DDR4 among other things also its about the same price or cheeper then the parts you listed

you can read up on it http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-are-intels-lga-processor-sockets/

if you have a price in mind and tell us what rez monitor you or the kids will be playing on we can get the most for your money

monitor rez 1080p 1440p 4 K ?

I'm currently running a 23" Lenovo Flat screen LCD monitor at 1920x1080. I have about $1500 i'm willing to spend for my build.

Thank you for all the responses so far, I am really appreciating it!

You're welcome

This build will play games at max settings at 1080P would also play at 1440p at high to max setting ( if you decide to get a new monitor latter on )

If you think you will sli then you would have to go with a 850W PSU ( sli ) is adding another GPU to work together to achieve higher frame rates < sli don't all ways give you 2x the frame rate and in some games it don't scale at all.

if you don't think you would OC your CPU you can get the price down a bit more with a non OCing setup

This is a 4 core i5 6600K build vs a i7 6700K with 4 cores 8 threads
