Suggest a good build for pc gaming?

Pedro Loureiro · Jun 18, 2013

Hello,

I am going to build my first pc for gaming. i have alredy choose my processor:i7 4770k and my graphic:ASUS GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC - 2 GB GDDR5 - PCI-Express 3.0.

now i need your suggest for motherboard and ram to support my commponents.
Do i really need to spend money one a good refrigerator or just a normal one?

Get Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H or ASUS Sabertooth Z87. Also ASRock Z87 Extreme4 is good Motherboards

Definitely no on the Sabertooth. It's too expensive, and they use the same horrible plastic armor that they did on the Z77 model, which does nothing but trap heat and recirculate it. Get the Gigabyte or the Asrock Z87 Extreme 6 instead.

Some say it's a good Motherboard. But It's expensive

g-unit1111 · Jun 18, 2013

iGamer :

It would be a good motherboard if it weren't for the high price tag and the ridiculous thermal armor, which is nothing more than a gimmick. You can definitely get better boards for less money.

Your 660 will not preform well with that i7. Get a GTX 770 instead.
MSI gaming Z87 MOBO FTW BRO!

G.skill ram

Pedro Loureiro · Jun 18, 2013

and about the ram do i really need more than 8gb? What do you suggest?

iGamer · Jun 18, 2013

Pedro Loureiro :

8GB of RAM in gaming is enough. More would be better in the future use.

how much of power suply do i need? is 850w ok?

g-unit1111 · Jun 18, 2013

William Longstreet :

I agree there, spend less on the CPU and more on the GPU.

how much of power suply do i need? is 850w ok?

850W is overkill for a single GPU. If you're planning to add a second one later on then it's fine, otherwise 600W is more than sufficient enough.

Pedro Loureiro · Jun 18, 2013

ok guys, so i will get a i7 4770k, a geforce gtx770 , MSI gaming Z87 MOBO, 600W for suplie and 8 gb ram. i am thinking in 1 TB sata 3 and 120 or 250 ssd. what about the coller ? what do you recomend?

overall what do you think about this build? can i get the same performance with lower items?

g-unit1111 · Jun 18, 2013

Pedro Loureiro :

For gaming you don't need the i7, better would be to put that money elsewhere. What's the max budget you're willing to spend?

Pedro Loureiro · Jun 18, 2013

something around 1600dollares.

g-unit1111 · Jun 18, 2013

This is how I would spend that budget:

You dont need a GAMING pc. when you say GAMING pc WE think of games like FARCRY 3 or BF4 on MAXEDOUT Settings. 3D Games. Not online gambling.

You need maybe something like this:
