How would this run beamngdrive? Intel i7-4790K OC 4.5 GHz (Quad core) 32GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz3 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD Drive (HDD 7200 rpm) Blu-Ray Disc Combo Windows 8.1 64 bit Nvidia GeForce GTX980 4 GB (Dedicated graphic)6 x USB 3.0; 4 x USB 2.0 1 x VGA (D-Sub) 1 x DVI-D 1 x HDMI 3 x Display Port
Very good, but 32GB RAM is waaaay overkill. Get 16 GB of RAM. If money's not the problem, you could opt for a 5820K or 5930K. These can handle even more cars at the same time than the 4790K.
Hey. Go ahead and buy the parts you linked previously: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3CTtYJ . They should be just fantastic for your needs. But do note that you most likely won't need 8TB of storage or 32GB of ram. Once you get your computer up and running properly, you will have absolutely no regrets. If this the first PC you've ever built, it'll probably be a huge jump from whatever you may have owned before. See a few tutorials on youtube if you're not sure how to assemble the parts. You'll always find helpful people on the internet if you get stuck with something. Once you get everything sorted out, just install that Windows 8 on your SSD and watch it boot up at unbelievable speeds.
What is better the 5820k or the 5830k? - - - Updated - - - Yea I am getting a 2tb hdd and 16gb of ram could you please send me a link to a good video. (Yes first pc build ever)
I think you would be better off taking the 5820k. The difference between them is very small. This is the first thing that came up when i searched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bUghCx9iso The video seems pretty decent, although the anti-static strap is not absolutely necessary. It's a good precautionary measure however. Also I want to point out that the Fractal Design case has a rather minimalistic design, which many people can appreciate. But if you prefer your computer to look fancier, take a look at this: https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/143-h440-performance-mid-tower.html pcpartpicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/search/?cc=us&q=nzxt+h440
There's no 5830K, it's the 5930K. It's $300 more, so nearly twice as expensive for a small bump in clock speeds and 40 PCIe lanes instead of 28. Unless you're planning to run four graphics cards it makes no difference, go with a 5820K.
Is this a good motherboard? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9751305&CatId=11650
It is a great board, but at that price there are better. Since it's designed for extreme overclocking it lacks many features other boards in its price range have, for example you get 4 RAM slots instead of 8 (you'd most likely use only 4 of those, but hey, having 8 DIMM slots is cool). This is because you're spending that money on stuff like better power delivery and VRM cooling, which is really not necessary unless you're going for extremely high clocks (5GHz+). These boards are cheaper and have more features you could actually use: Gigabyte GA-X99-Gaming 5: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gax99gaming5 ASUS X99-A: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-x99a MSI X99S SLI Plus: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-x99ssliplus MSI X99S SLI Krait: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-x99sslikrait (very similar to the SLI plus, it just looks REALLY AWESOME)
Okay thank you. I am starting my build soon - - - Updated - - - I am really interested in this Gaming PC. Can I have a estimate for the FPS on Beamngdrive? Also is it a good pc? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9781675&CatId=11849
A very fast PC but I think it's just all components, no? You have to add a GPU though. Depends on the GPU how many FPS you'll get. A GTX 970 would be perfect.
Okay thank you - - - Updated - - - Would this do the job? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9193565&CatId=7387
If you're not confident in building one on your own, you can have a PC builder website assemble it for you. I made my configuration at CyberPowerPC for $1,000. If you live in California and are near Baldwin Park, they waive the shipping fee and you can pick it up yourself. But anyway.... Check out the website: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ They are having an Independence Day special. You can build quite a competitively priced PC and they still put it together for you. Mine came to $1,039 (could pick it up 'cause I lived nearby), and I started out with a GTX 650 and i7-3770. Prices are better now and you can get much better hardware for pretty much the same price it took to build mine. Since you specified a budget of 2,500, you should be able to configure a beastly gaming rig with that budget. Since you want to run BeamNG, I would suggest at least an i7 processor. I would suggest a configuration like this: Processor: i7-5820 (K or non-K if you want) GPU: GTX 980 (you could do SLI 970's if you want, or do one single, powerful GPU) RAM: 16GB DDR4 Power Supply: 800W to 1000W (for wiggle room if you bought another GPU for SLI) Hard Drive: 2TB HD Motherboard: GIGABYTE or ASUS However, this build is going all-out, its roughly two grand on CyberPowerPC in this config, you can always cut back on which components you want inside. Just experiment with the different builds off the website, there is tons of hardware to choose from. You should be able to get the best price you want to pay. Oh... and also, for comparison, I'm running a GTX 980 SC with an i7-3770, I get 50-100 fps running on highest settings. It depends on the level, but performance is fair. The lowest I've had it drop on me is 20fps. I can spawn 5-6 cars and still keep a reasonable frame rate (if you call 25 fps reasonable). Its okay though, this game is very intensive in the physics simulation department. At least it DOES run even with more cars added. Could be worse. Good luck with the build! Check out the website, there's some good stuff on there, build a rig on there and see where you get. And don't worry, you won't get components mixed up, they go in order. The website will also tell you if the PSU is high enough to support the GPU and the rest of the system.
You overpaid, a lot. Seriously, build your own PC. Not only are pre builts more expensive, they usually don't bother with proper cable management. And building a PC is easy and fun.
Yeah, thanks. I know I did, The deed is done anyway, I bought the PC two years ago. Its not a pre-built if you get to choose the parts. I chose the parts I wanted, they put it together. Sure, I paid a little more because they had to put it together, plus California sales tax. The tax is high here, 7.5% right now, which translated into 98 dollars at the time when paying. Some places in California are higher, like 9.25%. And besides, I was new at it two years ago, and didn't want to mess it up. I got my feet wet first. But now, I can easily build my own, I've gained the knowledge. I look back at when I first bought my PC and could have shaved $200 off the $1,000, but I was a newbie then. I Just gotta wait now until this PC is outdated. In the mean time, I'll have some builds brewing.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xVV4Vn I wonder, would it be worth it to pay more and get an i5-4690K and a XFX Radeon R9 290X, or is this already fine? Also, does anybody have suggestions for a good case? I have no idea what to look for, all I know is that it has to be a mid-tower and an ATX.
I've heard the NZXT Source 210 is a good inexpensive case. I personally have the Corsair 200R and love it. It's an amazing case.
I've changed my mind a bit on the build as you might know, I've figured out that the Bitfenix Comrade is the best I can get. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8xWzLk
