Computer for the next years? Answer fast!!

Axzevos · Jun 23, 2013

Hello, I'am going to buy a computer that I can have for the next 5-6 years and still run games very smooth. So I will give you the specs for the computer I will buy and then can you answer if it's good.

Specs:
CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower
Silver Power SP-S850M 850W PSU
Intel Core i5-4670 Processor
ASUS Z87-A, Socket-1150
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB
Two Gainward GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB
HDD: WD Desktop Blue 1TB

So how will this specs work together? I want a computer that I can have 5-6 years without changing anything on my computer. I know 16gb is overkill but it costed me only 40bucks more. So is it something I should change and is this computer futurproof? Please answer fast!

Nothing is future-proof over that timeframe.

Ya, prob. But I mean like I doesnt have to spend 1000$+ for the next 2-3 years forr new specs. Can I have this computer for a 2-3 years then without changing specs? And for this setup. Which monitor should I buy? Is this BenQ 24" 3D LED XL2411T good?

With the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One arriving soon, you rig will be able to play games at console quality or better for the next 6 years. As long as your not expecting to max out settings then your covered.

If you want to max out games, then a GPU upgrade in ~ 2yrs and a platform upgrade (CPU and mobo, likely RAM as well by then) in ~3 would seem about right. Especially if you want to max out games on a 120hz screen.

I suggest just getting a single 780 over dual 770's, its far stronger and I suspect the extra VRAM will make a fair difference in a year or two.

Isnt that link very old? amd 7950 can't even do crysis 3 on 40+ on max settings...

jackeds · Jun 23, 2013

Axzevos :

Not sure where you got that information that card is one of the most current cards and can play crysis 3 on maxed out setting. This youtube video proves this:

Did you even read? Heres what it stand: NOTE: The game might not look so good on youtube, videoquality is often lost after processing*
Game is maxed out everything on Very High. I get 25-45 fps, Max I got was 50fps at 1920X1080 resolution (1080p). If I lower the resolution I would easily get 60 fps I guess.
He had MAX 50fps but his avarage prob was aruond 35 -.- It can get over, but I meant the avarage! I meant that the will not have 40+ all the time...

Its still a great build however and if you want better you have to pay more. The post has a another gaming computer which is much better, But for most people that graphics card is easily good enough.

how will my specs work together then?
Specs:
CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower
Silver Power SP-S850M 850W PSU
Intel Core i5-4670 Processor
ASUS Z87-A, Socket-1150
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB
Two Gainward GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA
SSD: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB
HDD: WD Desktop Blue 1TB

Is it something I should change? Should I take x2 4gb 770's or x2 2gb 770's?

Axzevos :

You have a great spec computer there. And you'll just need to upgrade a bit in the future. Not a lot though. Maybe you should get an unlocked processor (has a 'k' after the processor number) for overclocking.

I know I should add a K there. But I got no idea which program I should use for overclocking a cpu. On the laptop I'am using now I got i7 2630qm. I can first try to overclock on my laptop first. Which program should I use for overclocking a intel cpu?

It don't work. When I click on manual tuning it's everything in the dark so I can't move on anything.

No offense (I assume this is your website since its by a "Jack Edwards" and your name is an abbreviated form of it), those are pretty horrible gaming builds. A 3930k and 32GB of RAM will not let you game better over an i5 and 8GB of RAM, rather you can use that money to get a better GPU like a GTX 780.

In asnwer to the OP's question about overclocking a CPU, ideally you dont want software involved at all. Do it through the BIOS.
Also, I doubt you can overclock your laptop. They are very locked down platform in regards to this kind of thing, and even if it didnt, you wouldnt be able to push it far.
