critique on first computer build

psyxz · Jan 11, 2014

I'm currently building my first computer after doing lots of research. I haven't bought any of the parts yet, but here are the ones I was going to get. This computer is for playing games such as WoW and Simcity and a few others. Let me know how you think this computer will perform as far as framerate issues, latency issues, or any other important variable that would affect gaming. I just want to be able to play the games on max settings with great framerate, esp WoW. Thanks.

Parts:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45
Hard drive: WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB
GPU: MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit
Case: IN WIN GT1 White SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Optical drive: LG Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive
Power Supply: CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3

This computer will be able to play wow no problems, the only suggestion I would make is get the 760 with 4 gigs VRAM as there is a large draw distance in wow which will help.

Sorry meant to post this link http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_760/24.html

Also as far as latency that really depends on your internet connection, all of the name brand mobos such as ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte and MSI all use the intel ethernet controller on intel boards to the best of my knowledge.

Are you speaking about the GPU to get it in 4GBS? I wasn't aware they had it in the 4gbs. The one i was looking at was this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745
It's $265. Which 4gb one are you speaking about?

Devballs · Jan 11, 2014

Here is a list of the 4gigs the are about 40$ more, but in the long run I think it is worth it:

Thanks so much. Also, do you think there is a big difference between the gtx 760 and the gtx 770? Would that just be overkill?

Devballs · Jan 11, 2014

Well on the wow benchmarks the 770 is averaging about 23 more fps. So depending on what resolution you are gaming at that could make the difference from playable to noticable lag in refresh rates. At 1920x1080 you should be fine. However if you plan on playing more intensive games like First person shooters it would make a real difference.
