Endermod Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 This is my first time making a custom-built PC, and I need some help. If you think I could get any better parts, notice incompabilaties, etc, anything helpful, please say. CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Motherboard: MSI Z97 GAMING AC GPU: GeForce GTX Titan Black Storage: Seagate SSHD 4TB RAM: Kingston Technology HyperX Predator 16GB Kit I know I am still missing a PSU, a case and probably some other parts that I'm not aware of. If you could recommend some I'd be grateful. P.S: Yes, I have the money to spend and I know that is a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanlosh Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) HelloThis will get a hellmaschine with this buget :wink:But for this price you should buy an ssd this will give you a great loadingtime boost and less loadingstutter.This one is a pci express so it has even more power.But i would chose this motherboard the other one has quite bad reviews:Asus Maximus VI ExtremeAs PSU i would recommand this one.The case is a matter of personal taste so i dont have any recommandation.The graphics card and the cpu are really good and should have no problems to work together but i would recommand a costum cooler.(or even watercooling with this price) Edited August 12, 2014 by Xanlosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endermod Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Can anyone recommend a good optical drive, case or PSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K A quadcore? With that budget you can and should do better then that. Try one of the high end hexa-core socket 2011 CPU's instead. Some examples: I7 4930K (probably the best choice for your budget)I7 3930K (got this one myself)I7 3960X (if you really want to burn money) (all 3 do not come with stock coolers, so you need to spend some extra money on a good aftermarket cooler that can handle the heat generated by an I7) Naturally, you'll need a socket 2011 mainboard to go with it. And since ASUS was already mentioned before: Rampage IV ExtremeRampage IV Black Edition Can anyone recommend a good optical drive Imho that really doesn't matter all that much nowadays. Unless you're planning on making extensive use of your optical drive, it's a waste to overspend on such an inconsequential component. A case is far too personal to let other decide that for you. If you're going for one of the boards I recommended though, make sure you get a E-ATX case (a bigtower). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanlosh Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) The CPUs have smaller clock Speeds but More cores and because they are older they have older chipssets to.They are a bit faster because they have 6 cores and the new haswell i7 has 4 cores.

BlackRampage Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 And don't those Motherboards have older chipsets? They do. Why does it mattter? Newer isn't always synonymous with better. The socket 2011 boards I linked have X79 chipsets.The MSI board has a Z97 chipset. Bus speeds are identical, both have same number of PCI-E lanes and same SATA data transfer speeds. Don't all of those CPU have a smaller speed? Heh. You really shouldn't be looking at clock-speeds anymore these days. Compare the number of cores and cache sizes instead. They are a bit faster because they have 8 cores 6 cores actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanlosh Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 They matter but if you have 4cores it will be enough(for gaming)because the most games only use 2 or maximum 4 cores so it wont make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
