Is this a good build for me?

Kyriooos · Mar 6, 2014

Hey guys, first sorry for my bad english. Well I gonna buy a new pc with 1200 budget mainly for play BF4, TitanFall and aslo learn about overclock but im not sure if this is the best build:

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4Ghz Box -192€
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC - 177€
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 OC 2GB GDDR5 - 295€
G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 8GB 2x4GB CL9 - 77 €
Corsair CX750M 750W 80 Plus Bronce Modular - 82€
Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3 - 75€
Scythe Ninja 3 Rev.B - 49€
BenQ GL2460HM 24" LED DVI/HDMI Multimedia- 139€
Zalman Z11 Plus RED: 60€
Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Keyboard+Mouse: 29€ (cheap but is ok for me)
Total: 1166€

I don't know if there are a better mobo(more cheaps) and monitor options and maybe the Cooler isn't the best if im gonna overclock but i dont want to spend to much)

My store: https://www.pccomponentes.com/

Yeah, looks like a good build to me. I would prefer a nicer PSU, but it'll do ok for mild overclocks. You may also want a regular HDD in addition to the SSD though.

You can buy a cheaper Mobo yep.
Also with I5-4670K a 1600mhz ram is good enough, you dont need 2133mhz.
Also 650w PSU is good.
I dont understand the site to help you better :/

EasyLover · Mar 6, 2014

Great build except one thing. Change PSU. Don't buy CX series PSU. Better get XFX/Seasonic or HX series PSU from Corsair.

Sp00kie · Mar 6, 2014

I agree about the PSU. Corsair RM series rocks.

Kyriooos · Mar 6, 2014

Thanks for answer guys! well about HDD i have to much here in my house but are SATA 2 Seagate 7200.11-12 so i dont thiink i need to buy more. And about PSU what about this:
83€ Corsair CS650M 650W 80 Plus Gold - http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_cs650m_650w_80_plus_gold.html
99 € Corsair CS750M 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular - http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_cs750m_750w_80_plus_gold_modular.html
102€ Corsair RM650 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular - http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_rm650_650w_80_plus_gold_modular.html
97€ AeroCool Strike-X Power 800W - http://www.pccomponentes.com/aerocool_strike_x_power_800w.html

Think about maybe in the future (far far future .. XD) i want to add another 770 what should i get

And about the mobo what about this:
Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 - 137€
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H - 144€

or maybe keep the Z87-OC

And talking about RAM the price difference between 1600 and 2133 are like 5€ so, isnt better get the 2133?

EasyLover · Mar 6, 2014

GA-Z87X-UD3H is a nice mobo. Don't spend too much on mobo. Try to search for antex/XFX PSU. If you want to add another 770 later on then get 750W PSU

Kyriooos · Mar 6, 2014

EasyLover :

The problem is that in the site there aren't XFX or antex and the only Seasonic they have is this : Seasonic S12G-750 750W 80 Plus Gold http://www.pccomponentes.com/seasonic_s12g_750_750w_80_plus_gold.html and i think is to expensive

EasyLover · Mar 6, 2014

Only viable options there are:

http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_rm750_750w_80_plus_gold_modular.html
http://www.pccomponentes.com/seasonic_s12g_750_750w_80_plus_gold.html

Sp00kie · Mar 6, 2014

Both are top quality. I don't think the seasonic is worth the extra money.

Kyriooos · Mar 6, 2014

Thanks for ur answer guys, ill get the RM 750W and change the mobo to GA-Z87X-UD3H

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 6, 2014

The Corsair RM 750 and 850 are known for thermal issues and the RM series uses low budget capacitors.

Kyriooos · Mar 7, 2014

if this is true what should i do then? go for seasonic? but corsair psu arent made by seasonic too?

And can someone tell me the difference between GA-Z87X-UD3H and GA-Z87X-OC a part of the USB ports and pcie..?

HiTechObsessed · Mar 7, 2014

This would do you perfectly fine: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=86284&vpn=HCG-850M&manufacture=Antec&promoid=1285

Kyriooos · Mar 7, 2014

HiTechObsessed :

Hey, thanks, But i cant find Antec psu in the online store and i never saw em on physical stores

HiTechObsessed · Mar 7, 2014

I'm sorry, I forgot you mentioned you had to use that specific site! This would be a good one:

http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_cs750m_750w_80_plus_gold_modular.html

Sp00kie · Mar 7, 2014

This is old information and was fixed in October last year. The current RM series is fine. i have 2 with no thermal issues at all.

EasyLover · Mar 8, 2014

Yes, these reviews should be updated regularly to give the user clear guidance.

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 8, 2014

The thermal issue was supposedly addressed but the RM series still uses poor capacitors.

Sp00kie · Mar 8, 2014

Kyriooos :

Im sick of dispelling FUD for Corsair. Believe whatever u want to.

Dark Lord of Tech · Mar 8, 2014

Most if the AX series is made by SEASONIC , the AXi series is made by FLEXTRONICS.

Vic 40 · Mar 8, 2014

Don't know if they are already mentioned,but the next would be good but more expensive,
http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_ax860_860w_80_plus_platinum.html
http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_ax760_modular_80_plus_platinum.html

The one HiTechObsessed linked is a good and cheaper option,
This one,
http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_cs750m_750w_80_plus_gold_modular.html

EasyLover · Mar 9, 2014

This is a good PSU. But you really don't need PSU above 650W:

In 750W:
http://www.pccomponentes.com/seasonic_s12g_750_750w_80_plus_gold.html

In 650W
http://www.pccomponentes.com/corsair_rm650_650w_80_plus_gold_modular.html

If you happen to have some other online store near you, check options available there as well

Kyriooos · Mar 9, 2014

Hi guys, thank for ur answers. But now tell me if go for these psu i must go for cheaper mobo and is it worth?
look this build:
-Display: BenQ GL2460HM 24" LED DVI/HDMI Multimedia-139.00 €
-Keyb+mouse:Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Teclado + Ratón-32.95 €
-PSU:*(Corsair AX760 Modular 80 Plus Platinum-146.00 € Or Seasonic S12G-750 750W 80 Plus Gold)
-RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 8GB 2x4GB CL9-77.00 €
-MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H-140.00 €
-Ghapic: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 OC 2GB GDDR5-295€
-CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4Ghz Box 192.00 €
-SSD: Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3-74.95 €
-Samsung SH-224DB Grabadora DVD 24x OEM Negra-14.95 €
-Cooler: Scythe Ninja 3 Rev.B-39.00 €
Zalman Z11 Plus Roja-62€

EDIT: also with the extra money spent on psu i could get a better cooler or scythe ninja is enough for a low overclock?

EasyLover · Mar 10, 2014

AX-760 is quite expensive plus you need only around 650W PSU. Save some bucks from there and invest in air cooler like CM Evo 212 or go for Thermaltake air coolers. RM series from Corsair after revision has improved. Or you can get their GS series.

Is this a good build for me?
