Thoughts On New Build

badman1972 · Mar 27, 2014

Hi Guys,

I am upgrading my PC, parts listed below.
The power supply, ram, hard drives and one graphics card are from my existing build.
So I will be buying a case, motherboard, processor, sound card and one more graphics card for SLI.
Could you have a look and see if you there are any issues.
I am buying a house soon, so want this build to last a good few years, as money will be tight.
Many thanks.

Coolermaster Storm Enforcer Mid Tower ATX Case (Cool Master 200mm MegaFlow LED Fan Front and Top with a 120mm Rear fan)
Intel I7 4770K.
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard.
Thermalright-True-Spirit-90-M-Rev-A CPU Cooler.
Corsair CX750 Builder Series 80 PLUS Bronze PSU
16GB Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R Vengeance 4 x 4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz.
Samsung 120GB 840 Evo SSD For OS.

2 X MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Gaming 4GB DDR5 (Running in SLI)

get one gtx 780ti better than sli gtx 760's also i would go with a better quality power supply like the XFX 750W Bronze.

i7 4470k? i7 4770k you mean?

1. For the RAM, it is better to get 2x8GB instead of 4x4GB. this way you have some room for future RAM upgrade.
2. Better to get a single GTX780 than 2xGTX760.
3. Better to get a single 500GB EVO than 2 separate SSDs with smaller capacity.
4. I see no need for adding a dedicated sound card but if you like it, it is your choice. I would rather put the money to buy something else.

Ignore those above about some parts if you really choose to stick with your already available parts

I hear what your saying about the 780ti, but I already have one 760 and don't want the hassle of ebaying it and the money I save (about £120 by buying another 760 instead of a 780ti) can go towards the rest of the parts. From what I have read the performance of SLI 760's is the same as a 780ti if not slight better and i would have 4Gb of vram. The spec of the power supply (which I already have) should be enough for SLI as it has 64amps on the 12v rail.
I also have always wanted two cards in my PC.

yes it is enough amps also you're wrong when you said two gtx 760's are better than one gtx 780ti.
