New build for ~1000 USD

xpompiliusx · Feb 27, 2014

Hi,

next week I'm planning to buy a new system, mainly for daily use but also for gaming. I want to keep overclocking option.

I'm planning to buy from this local shop in Australia http://

This is the configuration I was thinking to purchase:

i5-4670K 3.4GHz 6MB
ASRock Z87-PRO4
G.Skill Ares 8GB Kit (4Gx2) DDR3 1600 F3-1600C9D-8GAO
Samsung 840BW EVO MZ-7TE120BW 120G SATAIII SSD Solid
WD 3.5" Black 1TB WD1002FAEX
Sapphire SA-R9280X-3GD5-OC
Fractal Design Core3000
Corsair VS650 650W
Coolermaster Hyper-212 EVO

Are all these components compatible one with each other?
Basically I'm not sure of anything because for each components there are heaps of alternatives for almost the same price (0-10 bucks).

Any advice how can I optimize this build will be appreciated.

Thank you

Ahmadjon :

my main concern is that maybe for few bucks more i can get better model of mobo\GPU\PSU\case.

speaking about GPU, basically i'm buying cheapest r9 280 for the same money i can get more advanced model but of GT 760, which one is better?

Good build but the OC will be moderate with the cpu cooler. The r9 280x is little slower than the GTX 770 and is the better choice when it is quite a bit cheaper than the GTX 770. Also it is a lot faster than the GTX 760 which is little faster than a r9 270x.
The r9 280x are a lot cheaper there and this is the best option: http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=12083

Nah, great board for your price range, great GPU, good PSU, and the case is personal opinion.

I'd go with H440 OR Phantom/Phantom 410 etc.

I'd get a 770 but that's just me xD

Cheapest Sapphire;

Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card ($449.99 @ Newegg)
