It's ok

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 16, 2014

8/10.

Swap the CPU and motherboard for an i5 4670k and any Z87 board, with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler. And add a 128gb SSD for a 9/10 or even 10/10.

CTurbo · Apr 16, 2014

Very good build. I like the idea of adding a ssd if possible, but I don't recommend adding the 4670k, CM 212 Evo, or Z87 motherboard. For that much money, you could upgrade to the GTX780.

8.5/10

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 16, 2014

Jacob McIntosh :

but i dont want to overclock,it may result in problems,and if i add a ssd it goes outside my budget,so i think i dont need to,if i choose to overclock then ill need a cooler too,so i think its not good,but tell me if its a must for playing games at ultra,and also the use of the ssd.thank you in advance

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 16, 2014

CTurbo :

Ok thanks,you always say the ideas i have in my mind.but can u tell me the reason for adding the ssd

YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE ABOUT THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR A CPU COOLER....
in my rig i choosen for you a cpu cooler who will fit proprely and very efficiency

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 16, 2014

badboyrog2 :

this build exceeds my budget!!!!!!!.i5 has a good cooler i think i dont need to buy another cooler,and btw y did you change my motherboard and memory that one i chose was less in rate and good right?my budget is below £800,so its hard to go with ur build.i think my build can play all upcoming hhd games .so it is enough if it can do what i want(i want it to play hhhd games,edit pics and vids,and daily use).Thank You For Ur Suggestion

badboyrog2 · Apr 16, 2014

ALWAYS USE AND AFTERMARKET CPU COOLER...
ABOVE ALL IN A CLOSE AREA LIKE A MICRO ATX PC CASE

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 16, 2014

badboyrog2 :

can you suggest me a low rate good cpu cooler?and do i need a case cooler,i think i dont't,it will exceed my budget.please suggest a good cpu cooler at low rate.do i need thermal paste?no right.thank you in advance

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 16, 2014

badboyrog2 :

Unless you have a "K" version of an Intel CPU, or the "Black Edition" of an AMD cpu, you can use the stock CPU cooler, as it was designed by intel/amd for that processor.

''Unless you have a "K" version of an Intel CPU, or the "Black Edition" of an AMD cpu, you can use the stock CPU cooler, as it was designed by intel/amd for that processor. ''

sorry but i am completely in disagreement with you... this guy going to play games/some video editing etc... ''i want it to play hhhd games,edit pics and vids,and daily use''

''can you suggest me a low rate good cpu cooler?and do i need a case cooler,i think i dont't,it will exceed my budget.please suggest a good cpu cooler at low rate.do i need thermal paste?no right.thank you in advance ''

ITS ALREADY IN THE RIG I SUGGEST TO YOU ABOVE AND I PUT
A LOW PROFILE MEMORY FROM CORSAIR FOR A BETTER SPACE FOR THE CPU COOLER

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 16, 2014

badboyrog2 :

Unless the OP is overclocking, the stock cpu cooler is fine. While adding a high end cooler will lower temps, there will not be any speed difference, because the OP won't be able to change the clock speeds of the processor. Plus, OP said that the rig you posted was out of his budget.

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 16, 2014

Jacob McIntosh :

yeah it exceeds my bugget and so idont want to add anything extra except if its very neccesary,tell me if i need a ssd,and iam not going to overclock as it may result in danger.but the gpu has 3 modes,oc mode,gaming mode,and one more,what will happen if i use oc mode(i think iam questioning stupidly,but still its one of my doubt)and no one said i need a case cooler and thermal paste or not.Thanks In Advance.

badboyrog2 · Apr 16, 2014

sorry about exceeding your budget... but is the best i can do
the rig i did for you came from my experience of troubleshooting and i d ont want you have the same problem i had

CTurbo · Apr 16, 2014

The stock cooler will cool a 4670 efficiently as long as there is sufficient airflow in the case.

The biggest complaint about stock coolers are usually about them being too loud.

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 16, 2014

CTurbo :

That means,i dont need to add anything extra,but i can add if i want right?so idont plan on getting it now.and what about ssd,why should i add it,and how does it improve the performance.

AgentTran · Apr 16, 2014

Gabriel Belmont :

It is not required right now, but to answer your question a SSD is a solid state drive.
It holds and writes memory much faster than your regular HDD. It's usually bought in smaller sizes just to hold the OS, and a few main/core games. It will greatly improve launch times and your operating system experience just by being on the SSD. It will improve performance in single-player games, as in not in-game performance, but the time it takes to load the files, and actually get into the game. The reason I've specified only single-player games is because when playing mutli-player games, you usually have to wait for everyone else to load. (League of Legends.)

Can u rate this and try to reduce the rate pls.thank you

CTurbo · Apr 16, 2014

No 32GB is not big enough to put windows on. You need 60-64GB at the absolute minimum, and even one that small would require a lot of upkeep.

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 17, 2014

CTurbo :

oh,then iam going to avoid adding ssd.it goes outside my budget,other that that,i know my build is gr8 for gaming and editing.but still its 8.5/10 for my budget.what can i do to make it 9 without increasing the rate.any idea?.Thank You.

In3rt1a · Apr 17, 2014

I am in agreement with badboyrog2, you hands down need a cooler better than stock with haswell if you are putting serious load on your chip. Back when I had my stock cooler on my 4770k and monitored temps while doing various stress tests, I was hitting 70c almost instantly and things kept getting hotter. $30 for a cooler master hyper 212 EVO is definitely worth it. Also, it looks way more professional than the stock cooler. There are loads of low profile coolers on the cheap for micro atx builds, you can check some out here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/low-profile-heat-sink-mini-itx,3639.html

Gabriel Belmont · Apr 17, 2014

In3rt1a :

can i use an atx full tower case for a micro atx motherboard?

CTurbo · Apr 17, 2014

No it's a 9.5/10 for your budget. It's just about the best you could possibly do for that money. Here are a couple very minor revisions
