Is this computer build good? (My first build)

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

This is going to be my first computer build for myself. Me and a friend have built one together before, but I have never built one by myself and would like to know if these specs are good for intense gaming: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Djfreshboy/saved/#savedbuild_980256

it is good but i would recommend 1 gtx 780ti over 2 gtx 770 since 1 card is better than having 2 and sli is not in every game plus it would be like 20$ cheaper that way

That is an awesome build but i would spend more money on the GPU, get a 780. and down grade the cpu if price is a problem (i5 is perfect for gaming the i7s are over kill) . but other then that ever thing is perfect. more less pick the company you like and trust.

gaming computers need a good GPUs so get the 780

So should I keep with Gigabyte for my GPU or should I go with Nvidia, EVEGA, etc.?

Justin Gingras · Mar 25, 2014

nickbachu :

he is right sli is only good if useing 3 monitors or useing 4K

780 or 780 ti both vary good GPUS

Justin Gingras · Mar 25, 2014

Djfreshboy :

EVGA

nickbachu · Mar 25, 2014

Djfreshboy :

Nvidia and AMD is the one who makes the video card chips
gigabyte, power color and etc is the on who rebrands them from AMD and Nvidia
but good with a brand you trust as the guy before me said it would be best to get a gtx 780 or a gtx 780ti better bang for the buck is the gtx 780 ti its around the price for what you was going to spend on gtx 770's

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

K thanks guys! I will probably get the GPU straight from Nvidia, or try EVGA out

nickbachu · Mar 25, 2014

yep no problem

Justin Gingras · Mar 25, 2014

oh ya one thing a full size case is like 3 4 feet tall vary big i had a full size on my bros computer and it was to big i would get a mid if i was you

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

It's ok (I know the case is very large) I have a space next to my desk that fits the dimensions of a full tower.

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

And I updated it to a EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Djfreshboy/saved/#savedbuild_980256
Is there anything else you guys would reccomened other than changing the GPU, or is this build good?

nickbachu · Mar 25, 2014

Djfreshboy :

that will do great

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

K thanks again!

much better i have the 3 780 with 3 monitors and i get 120 fps maxed out. so one 780ti with 1 monitor will be out standing. and i recommend benQ monitors i use them my brother uses them and my friend uses them. no problems and vary nice warranty and vary strong built

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

Justin Gingras :

Which BenQ Monitor would you reccomend? I'm only looking for one monitor for now, but I plan on later having two.

Djfreshboy · Mar 25, 2014

Is the RL2455HM good? Im looking for a monitor that is around $150 or below, and that's why I went with the Asus VS229H-P
