Rate my PC I'm going to buy

[yung dank]

Hello everyone. I made this account just to post this. I'm getting a job for the summer and I'm going to raise money for the following computer.


Case: AZZA Atlas Gaming Case - Black
LED Fan Lighting: None
Case Lighting: iBUYPOWER RGB Smart Lighting
Processor: Intel Core i5-4690k Processor (4x 3.50GHz/6MB L3 Cache)
Processor Cooling: Asetek 550LC Liquid Cooling
Memory: 16 GB DDR3-2133 ADATA XPG Memory Module
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-z97X-Gaming 3 -- 3x PCle x16, 4x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0
Power Supply: 400 Watt - Standard 80 PLUS Bronze
Hardrive: 128GB SanDisk X400 SSD
Optical Drive: 24x Dual Layer DVD/R/RW + CD-R/RW Drive-Black
Sound Card: 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard
Network Card: Onboard LAN Network (GB or 10/100)
Operating System: Windows 10 Home

Extra Stuff:
iBUYPOWER Gaming Mouse
Professional Wiring

Total: $1,013 - 5% = $964


Do you think this can run games like Overwatch or Call of Duty or any other high end games?
Usually my main games are World of Warcraft and League of Legends, and occasionally some console games.
I just want to know what games would this computer struggle with? What should I replace?

This computer is already a huge upgrade from mine. The computer I have now I get under 20 FPS playing Skyrim. So as long as this computer can run World of Warcraft on Ultra and in 60 FPS I'll be darn happy. All feedback is appreciated.

I would like to have a scale of 1-10 rating? But you can use whatever rating you like.

Thanks!

yung dank.

EDIT 1: I am looking around some people are saying i7 is better than i5 which I don't think that I will need a i7 for the games I'll be running? Thanks

Except, superninja, he needs Windows.

I understand. Sorry. But I just perceived it as rude. Could you recommend a site that will give me a good computer for under $1,000? Or tell me if the guy that linked all the parts is good?

1. What is your actual budget for this?
2. What must that include? The PC, yes. The OS as well? Monitor, mouse, keyboard?
3. Are you prepared to actually build it yourself?

 

[yung dank]

Except, superninja, he needs Windows.

Yes I prefer windows. I personally can't stand Apple OS lol.

legal it website 40-50 dollars for an oem version.

No, those usually are scams.

1.) $700-$1,000
2.) Not really too worried about accessories at the moment, since I just bought a new keyboard and mouse that will work and last me a little bit. Windows OS preferably. I have a just fine Monitor as well.
3.) I prefer not to build it because I have no experience but if I must build it I will have support (I have friends/family that will help me with it)

As turkey3_scratch said.....

 

[superninja12]

its an oem version, i contacted windows to see if its legit and my version was legit.
so yeah?

 

[USAFRet]

so yeah?

Any time I see license software from a no-name site, that is significantly cheaper than the major sites (Newegg/Amazon/etc), I am automatically suspect.

You kinda told me to ask those 3 questions and then didn't answer me back lol. Sorry just trying to get this PC perfect for my needs.

Right. And I am not the only one in this discussion.

Anyway...
$700-$1000, and preferably not building it yourself.

It IS possible to find the right parts list from one of the sites like iBuyPower (ewww)
But you have to be VERY careful, and look into each and every part.

From your original:

"400 Watt - Standard 80 PLUS Bronze"
What make/model? Unless specified, assume crap.

120GB SSD? If that is the only drive, FAIL.

"Network Card: Onboard LAN Network (GB or 10/100)"
What do they mean "or"?
You might get 10/100. FAIL.

Stuff like that.
I see a bunch of fancy numbers, and a lot of fail.

 

[superninja12]

i just recommand my build and i think everyone can agree its good C:

 

[USAFRet]

So, yung dank...what shall you do?
Build or buy?

 

[yung dank]

So, yung dank...what shall you do?
Build or buy?

I will probably buy.
The PSU is a corsair one. And looking at it again, it does seem a little lackluster...

What site do you reccomend? OriginPC?

 

[yung dank]

Might I add, I really don't care about if it's the best of the best. I just want it so that it can run modern games on medium or high at 60 FPS. The computer I have now is like, a office computer from 2012ish lol. So anything, ANY gaming computer will be a upgrade from this one.

and we talk u through the building process

Hey I just looked at all of these. Is this a good build? Only reason I don't like it is because I have to buy all those items from different sites.

 

[apk24]

Most everyone here, will greatly recommend you build your own as it is significantly more cost effective and isn't very difficult. It does however require a little bit of watching videos and doing reading before you build.

Pardon the assumption, but it seems like you don't intend to overclock the CPU. So I specced down superninja's build to reflect that. It wil perform pretty much the same as superninja's build would when not OC'd, but will allow you to step up the GPU to a 1070 (for which the board partner versions will be released by the time you buy this pc). The 1070 is miles above the 970 in terms of performance.

Since you indicated that you would rather buy all the parts from the same place if you had to build it yourself, all of the parts are avalaible from Newegg. THe prices for everything are likely to fluctuate over the next couple months though, so I would use this as a starting point but update it again before you buy based on the latest prices.

I will not be overclocking it. But thanks for this build. Couple questions though. Will this run the games I want on ultra 60 FPS? Like Overwatch or Fallout 4? If not ultra at least high? Thanks for the build I'll def check it out

The 1070 is a solid card, and the i5-6500 shouldn't bottleneck it. Most reviewers are saying that the 1070 will be asolid 1440p card, reachiing 60FPS on fairly high settings in most games.

Will this build work with the GTX 970? Because right now I looked up all those things on newegg and the total cost is like $1,119. Which is pushing my budget pretty good. I don't want to upgrade things I don't need to.

I apologize, from the OP it seemed like you were going to buy this rig in a few weeks. I was making recommendations under this assumption. The GTX1070 I am talking about is one of the non Founder's Edition cards that will hit the market in a couple of weeks. They are expected to be priced around 400 bucks. I am not sure where you are getting $1119 from, as when I last checked the core system is $606 and the GPU will be $380-400 range. We are talking on Newegg US and prices in USD, right?

Yeah sorry about that. Basically I will get this computer either by the middle of summer or end of summer. And the $1,119 I got from newegg. I looked at all your parts, on newegg, and added them all to a cart and got the total of 1,119. (Screenshot below). Also, I'm just asking if GTX 970 with the build I don't really want to upgrade if i really don't need to. Thanks

There are 3 SSDs there. The quantity on the 850 EVO is 3. That's what's causing it to go so far over budget.
