Is this gaming pc good? Are the parts quality? Are there any parts that are cheaper? Bottleneck?

You want a better Motherboard. That board has no VRM heatsinks and overheats frequently.

The parts list is good, but either drop the SSD completely or get a 120gb model.

You have a ton of different configurations in that link, please direct us to the right one.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-970ag46 or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970ad3p would be perfectly fine choices.

JVictorSR · Oct 22, 2013

I will probably oc in the future. Are these mobos good for ocing

tiny voices · Oct 22, 2013

Yes, they will be perfectly fine.

What about bottlenecking? Will this mobo bottleneck the pc. If so, would the ASRock extreme 3 am3+ be good?

tiny voices · Oct 22, 2013

Motherboards do not affect performance and therefore cannot possibly bottleneck anything. The extreme3 is a good board.

JVictorSR · Oct 22, 2013

Which would you recommend the extreme3 or the gigabyte mobo?

tiny voices · Oct 22, 2013

Either will be perfectly fine. Can you link to the extreme 3 board?

2gb 770 or 4 gb 760? All the nex games are using a lot more vram.

tiny voices · Oct 23, 2013

2gb 770 will be the clear winner. Not even a close comparison.

tiny voices · Oct 23, 2013

Also, that motherboard you linked is an intel 1150 socket board and can't be used with an AMD CPU.

JVictorSR · Oct 23, 2013

I changed to i5. I figured it would be better.

tiny voices · Oct 23, 2013

Which I5?

JVictorSR · Oct 23, 2013

4670K for $200. I have a microcenter nearby.

JVictorSR · Oct 23, 2013

Also, if i get a 760, should i get 2gb version or 4 gb version?

tiny voices · Oct 23, 2013

Good deal. Do you plan to do any overclocking?

JVictorSR · Oct 23, 2013

Maybe I will overclock in the future, but not now.

tiny voices · Oct 23, 2013

In that case, the sock CPU cooler will be perfectly fine.

tiny voices · Oct 23, 2013

Can you link me to the current build?

JVictorSR · Oct 23, 2013

Yeah, but if I want to overclock later I can. For $20 dollars extra, Id rather get a cpu that can overclock rather than buying one that cant and not being able to overclock.
