Buying/Building Gaming PC!

Bump I am thinking about building a PC again! I want it to last a good 3-5 years! i7 etc.

 

Budget?
What will it be used for? Only gaming?

 

Gaming and everyday use (browsing the web etc.)


Is this a good build???

I would immediately upgrade to Windows 10 on that system so I wouldnt have to worry around with the horror that is Windows 8.1!!

 

Yes I would.

 

The motherboard seems to be out of stock, you'll need to change that.

Otherwise, nice build. You don't really need a 5820K (I'd rather get an i5 and 980Ti), but I'm assuming you want a build that's as future-proof as possible.

Also, don't get OEM Windows. It might be a bit cheaper, but it will be deactivated if you swap any parts, and you'll have to buy it again.

 

I won't get OEM windows then Is the motherboard you put compatible with my processor? Any good suggestions for a gpu around $450? Is my psu any good?

Thanks,
JoJo

3. Yes, it's good. I'd rather go for an RM750 though.

 

Could you please add that to the list?



Also, could you possibly make a list for a good PC that will last a good 3 years.

 

We have a issue....

if I want 2(probs not)

By the time you're going to want/afford 2 of these, a newer, better GPU will have come out. And it's better to buy 1 really good card rather than 2 lesser cards, because SLI/Crossfire doesn't play nicely with every game.

BTW I would like a nvida gpu~

Here's a build that's miles better than yours for only $150-200 more.

 

If all you're doing is gaming, you don't need to spend so much money on an intel x99 6-core processor. Let me gather you a build that will save you money.

This is still kind of overkill for what you're doing but it's within your budget now.

 

$200 is a lot of money to go over budget though. And there's no reason to get a massive NH-D15 over an AIO liquid cooler.

Any reason for that?

 

Might as well get an i5 then, HT is utterly worthless in gaming (BeamNG being an exception). A 5820K is also great for future proofing, while a 6700K could last a good 3-4 years before needing replacement a 5820K will be good for 5-6.

 

That's true.

Also true, but having the 6700k instead of the 5820k allows him to get a 980Ti in his budget which is one of the best GPUs on the market at the moment. He could also get a Fury X, I believe they both perform similarly.

 

If you want a future proof PC, a powerful CPU is essential. Swapping a graphics card is easy, swapping a CPU means new motherboard and possibly new RAM too. I agree a 980Ti is a better card and a better short term choice, but if I wanted a PC that can go for as long as possible with as few upgrades as possible I'd rather go for a better CPU.

 

I would like to have a good cpu and gpu

I just think that nvida is a good gpu company.

Yes I need it to last a long time.
