PC Build Compatibility?

henry_ · Apr 8, 2014

Hello, I am here to ask the question about the compatibility of the parts im buying. I'm spending somewhere around $2000 on this build. I don't want to really make any comprmises to the case since I really wanted to use the Silverstone Grandia GD05B. Also I know it's my second time asking about this, but I made changes to the build and wanted full conformation.
Specs:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z87M-D3H
RAM: ADATA XPG V1.0 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 AX3U1600W8G9-DB
Case: SILVERSTONE Grandia Series GD05B
PSU: XFX Pro 850W Black Edition
Optical Drive: LG GH24NSB0 DVD-RW 24X SATA Black OEM
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770k @ 3.5GHz (LGA 1150 Socket)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L91 95mm
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro 2.5-Inch SATA 128GB
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked ACX Cooling x2-Way Sli
Extras:
GWC USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 4-port PCI Express PU3040
Peripheals:
Monitor: ASUS VX279Q 27"'
Keyboard: Razer Deathstalker Ultimate

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please Don't List out a full suggestion unless you think there are many flaws with my build. Also please suggest a better part and why it should be changed. Also I would Prefer not to change on the Case GPU or the 3TB HDD. Thanks.

Hi. I don't see any problems, although I would look at maybe some GSkill, Corsair, O Crucial Memory.

Its all compatible but I think that you're making a bit of a first-timer mistake by going with the i7/760 combo.

The 4670K and 4770K are nearly identical for gaming performance and the cost gap is huge, that could be better spent on a stronger graphics card.

Other than that it looks great man

FloppyNacho :

Are you trying to say I should buy a 4670K? I orginally was going to use sli 780's but I decided on 760's since I saw a chart that said the 760 is the best Price for performance GPU. Also I would Like to add, I'm buying the 4770K @ $280 so the price point difference (at most) is $60. Thanks.

What's wrong with the current RAM?

Probably nothing, but not qat the top of the list either. Best to stay with a known thing. As for the graphics, you said that you had thought about going sli with two 780's. Unless you are planning on using 2 Monitors, You would better better off with just a single 780Ti and probably save a little in the process. That is the fastest card on the market today.

Ok, well I looked into it. I will be still getting the double 760's and 4770K But I will be swapping the RAM to Corsair Vengeance 16GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233246 So now, does everything seem like a go? Since I was going to build this during spring break and that's quickly approaching.

Sounds good, You may want to look at a pair of 770's if you are planning sli. Those things are 680's on Steroids.

Ok, Thanks. Sucks I don't have an extra $400 to $500 to spend on dual 770's. The orginal plan was dual 780's! But that was to much, like the 770's are.

coastie65 · Apr 9, 2014

I don't know exactly what a pair of 760's cost, but it is probably equal to a single 780Ti. Although sli can be helpgul for Frame rates in some games, it is not really necessary, unless you are running dual monitors. Even then, a single 780Ti can handle a pair of Monitors quite well at 1920x1080.

I found Dual 760's for about $400 when I looked up the 780Ti, It was $700.
Also just another question~ Do I need a Wi-Fi Card for my motherboard? Newegg.com says it has On-board LAN.

$400 for a pair of those things ????? Another happy medium is the GTX 770. That thing is a GTX 680 on steroids and a very good card.

Are you saying a single 770 or 780?

A single 770 is a horse. UNless you are running dual monitors, you don't necessarily need sli or crossfire. A good single card is enough.

A lot of Motherboards come with WiFi ( my ASUS Z87 - Pro came with WiFi and an antenna, but I don't use it ). You ca just opt to hardwire to the router and let it go.
