1000€ Gaming Build (Build almost ready)

firecotton · Feb 9, 2014

Hey guys,
I finally decided to build my own gaming PC. I could need some help with some things that I‘m maybe missing.

First of all, I want to overclock, up to 4.4 if possible. I want to be able to get as much power out of this build as possible, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. I want to be able to play games on max settings like BF4, FFXIV:ARR, DayZ, AC:Black Flag, basically a future proof PC.

I didn‘t choose a SSD yet because my budget is pretty tight.
I also already have a case MS CA-0300 Hornet NG but I don't know if it would work with this build or if the parts do actually fit into it or if its any good compared to other cases.
If my case is fine I could buy a SSD, which is a plus.

Is the motherboard fine? I don't know if I should get a D3HP or a D3H or anything else to optimize my build.

How about the PSU? Which one should I get if I want to overclock? I just picked one randomly because I don't know what I should get.

Thanks in advance.

Here is my current build:

The build is good, i dont know if with ur 212 Evo you can get 4,4 ghz safe but is pretty descent choice.
Also i will suggest Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 for Motherboard because is better on OC.
And i think you can get a cheaper PSU from this. Look for a Corsair one like those http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/power-supply/#w=600&m=11&sort=a9

Changed the mobo for another one which you can archive higher overclocks with.

changed the ram from a CAS latency 7 to a CAS latency 9, because the difference is not that great.

The Evo should be a problem for 4.4GHz and the temps would be too high i bet.

Thanks for your input guys!

So I picked a different PSU and Motherboard. Are they better or should I get others in the same price range?
I kept the RAM because I like G.Skill.

What I still don't know is what Case and what CPU Cooler I should get. I've heard that this one seems to be pretty good. (It's a german website though, so sorry about that.)
I really want to get as much power out of this build as possible, so OC'ing to 4.4 is what I would like to do.
I think the current Case I picked is nice, but I'm not exactly sure.

Thanks in advance.
