budget 4670k gaming rig

lancerdude · Oct 12, 2013

hi guys,

im planning to build a gaming rig with these parts:

LGA1150 MSI B85M-P33
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40-3.80GHz (4Core) Haswell Processor lga1150
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler
Gskill Ripjaws x 8gb 4gbx2 Ddr3 1600 CL9
EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 Superclocked w/ ACX Cooler
Sandisk SDSSDP 128gb SSD
Seagate 500GB ST500DM002 Internal HDD
Corsair CX750 80+ Bronze 750 Watt ATX, EPS12V, PS/2
NZXT Source 210 Classic Midtower

-i'm also planning of having this oc'd for about 4.2 ghz at least, can this build capable of that?
-are the parts compatible with each other?(noctua might block the ram slots.
-im open to suggestion for other alternatives (more cheaper or better parts)
..thanks

Get a Z mobo, not B, to overclock. If you get low profile ram you dont have to be worried about cooler clearance. Only need 750W if ur gonna SLI.", otherwise 550 is plenty.

A B85 board is incapable of OCing, you would need a Z87 board.
I would try to grab Low Profile RAM if using large air coolers. (LP Vengeance, Kingston HyperX)

thanks for the reply sirs,

-i thought the b85m supports oc'ing bcoz it included an oc genie 4 feature in it.
-how about this as an alternative mobo: MSI Z87M-G43

lancerdude :

Yes, the MSI board will suit your needs.

For the RAM issue, I'm currently using Corsair Vengeance Pros. Only thing I had to do was move the fan up a little bit and it got rid of the clearance issue.

-however if i adjust the cpu fan upward to accommodate a high profile ram it might compromise the size of the cpu case?
-with the mobo changed i might be using: Gskill Ripjaws X 8GB 4gbx2 DDR3 1866 CL8 as ram will this fit/compatible with the build?

You might have an issue with the size of your case, I'm using a Corsair 600t and have no issues. You should go with an ram that's classified as low profile.

Why do you have a 750 Watt PSU in there? Are you planning on upgrading to 2 x GTX 760 in SLI in the future? Personally I would use the stock CPU and GPU coolers and save your money towards a second GTX 760. I can guarantee that within two years most GTX 760 owners will find themselves wanting more power. And why the HDD?

your budget??

-I checked an psu calculator site and accdg to it all the components above will approximately consume 750 watts(minimum).
-added an hdd for storage purposes.(cheaper than a large ssd)
-my budget is 1000$
