Is this a good mid range gaming pc?

lukeskywalkerbachman · Feb 3, 2014

I just want to know if what I built will last and be good for 1080p gaming.

Intel core i5 4570 CPU quadcore 3.2 GHz

MSI B85-G41 Motherboard

G Skill Sniper Series 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz non ECC unbuffered ram

WD 1TB mechanical hardrive 7200RPM 6gb/s cavier black

EVGA GTX 660 TI (SC) graphics card ($220 from a friend)

DIYPC Solar-M1-G case

Corsair CX750M power supply

Windows 8.1 (64-bit) OEM

(I'm planning on getting a better graphics card way later on and an ssd in the future.)

I'm not going to be overclocking as you can tell by my cpu and chipset.

When it comes to motherboards, I would always recommend Asus as 1st choice

Take a look at this --> http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-b85plus

Also power supply 750W is not required for this build, 600W will be more than enough.
I would suggest you Seasonic 620W
Even if you get a card like GTX 760 or 770 620-650W is enough

if you want modular you can go with M12II instead of S12II

Yes that is a fine build I only thing I would not have in it is Corsair CX which is not as good as TX and up, a quality 550- 650watt would pretty much run any single GPU solution on the market.

Why b85, why not get the h87. Also if your getting a 660ti for 220 dollars, why not just get a 760 or r9 270x. LOl he is ripping you off in my opinion. Agreed with rolli about the psu.

What is the difference between h87 and b85?

You can check here ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150

lukeskywalkerbachman · Feb 3, 2014

The b85 as all of the features I need and I have already purchased the corsair cx750m
and I already purchased my graphics card from my friend, but I can totally return it if that will make a difference. Please help!

I would deffinetly return the gpu because he is somewhat ripping you off. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-760-vs-GeForce-GTX-660-Ti

GTX 660 for $220 from a friend is not worth seriously I would not agree with that. I think he is trying to get money out of u

TheMohammadmo · Feb 5, 2014

LOL so now you know, you heard it from me and rams. Return it asap and get the 760 from evga because evga provides the coolest temps.
