Looking to build this gaming pc but not sure what to get for a motherboard. Also if you have any other suggestions feel free. And does anyone know if this build will play 4K games no problem? I plan on adding another 980ti in the future when needed but obviously I know this build will play anything at I'm sure 60fps no problem. Arma 3 and the division will be my main two games for now.

He already said he's gonna get another 980ti....

 


Oh, sorry I missed that.
 


If I get another gpu it won't be until it's needed which I hope won't be for another 2-3 years easy with this build
 
True so what is your recommended power supply i should get? not sure how much higher is should go. I just went off pc parts picker which told me around 440 watts being used with everything.
 
850W should keep everything nicely and cleanly powered up with no worries. Just don't cheap out for the love of god. XFX, Seasonic, Super Flower, etc are good, check out the PSU tier list and get something from Tier 1 or 2.
 


Okay thanks! I have and i5 now and a evga 780 but im having issues with running some games at 60fps and with The Division coming out and some more graphically demanding games in the future im not sure my rig now can handle 60fps here soon. In your opinion is it work the upgrade to a new computer? To me if i chose to upgrade i might as well build a whole new pc and try and sell mine for what i can get for it to safe on some costs.
 


Yes much better to build new and try to sell your old parts :)
