Xigyy wrote Just because you have a good understanding of PC's doesn't mean you cant be offered help.

Personally, Id drop the 4790k for a 4690k
Pick up a decent AIO cooler / air cooler. Depending on preference
8GB of ram
1TB black 500GB SSD
MSI 970
A better PSU or one that actually has nice cables.

Seriously, cables ruin the look of most builds IMO.


i would always love help never said that <3

Sanctyy wrote You do. No need to spend so much on a mobo. i5 will be fine for gaming, as will 8GB RAM. That PSU isn't very good either. Are you even going to overclock? Will you make use of SLI at any point?


well im slightly going to be editing, thats why i desided on a intel i7, im might overclock in a later time, sli i can use for a future upgrade


Xeon E3-1230 v3.

Get a SSD not having one is like using floppy drives.


lol nice joke <3 , the reason why im not getting a xeon is because im going be playing 90% games and 10% editing

Sanctyy wrote There is no need for an i7, but if you have $1300 to spend, you can grab one. The i7 will be more beneficial than the extra RAM in the majority of cases anyway. Here;

SLI support so you can add another 970 if you ever want.

If you're not going to OC, drop the cooler and swap the 4790k for a Xeon or an i5. If you're not overclocking and not going to make use of the motherboard's SLI support, get a cheaper mobo. Get the S340 instead if you wish, but the H440 is pretty much the S340's big brother, built a little better and a few extras. If you do any of the above to save money, spend what you save on a larger/better SSD. Oh, and you won't need a 750W PSU unless you're running 2 x 970's.


Edit- An i5 and 8GB RAM is plenty, even for minimal editing/rendering, the i5 will do fine. RAM is the last thing you should worry about anyway since it's the easiest and arguably cheapest component to add/upgrade.


i get 40$ off a mobo if i buy from microcenter with a cpu they said so the mobo will b 100$

HDD is fine. Return the PSU because it's not good, at all. As for case, I'd return it and get an H440 or Define R5 instead, both have more room and better build quality than the S340.
