The final build

[ryyo96]

Hi everyone.

I've lost count on how many times I've said this is the final build and then changed something at the last minute. I now hope this is the final build. I've linked the PC below. If like your honest thoughts on the machine please. If I were to play a game like GTA 5 at max settings, what FPS do you think I can get?

One other thing. My uncle has asked if the i5 4690k will be enough? All the research I have done makes it seem like the ideal processor. What do y'all think? Will the i5 hold the PC's performance back? Would I be worth while getting a i7 processor. I'll only be gaming, watching/downloading movies, listening to music and web surfing.


Thanks.

Do you intend to overclock that 4690k?

Should we assume that that build is at the top of your budget?

It will probably be overclocked in the future. And yes, this is the top of my budget. Would you suggest spending more?

get a dual-channel ram kit...

also, that air cooler is complete overkill if you're not going to OC the cpu...

can get the phanteks tc12Dx in a variety of colors, cyrorig c5, and a few others to shave money off.

Not necessarily, but you could potentially get an i7 for the price of that i5 if you were willing to stay at stock speeds.

Could you link me this i7?

That Xeon is basically an i7-4770 with no integrated graphics, which you don't need anyway. With no integrated graphics, it uses less power and produces less heat.
