Looking for you opinion on this gaming PC spec

ygarti · Apr 20, 2014

Hi guys!

I want to buy a computer for gaming, I built this spec and I'm looking for your opinion on it.

I'm planing in the future to do SLI 2x "Gigabyte GTX780 OC 3GB GDDR5 DX11 2xDVI HDMI DP PCI-E" so I need a power supply that can handle that (and of course a mother board)

Here is the spec:

1 Intel Core i7 4770K Haswell 3.5Ghz 8MB L3 Cache s1150 - Tray
2 Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 CO CPU Fan
3 Asus Z87-A LGA1150, Intel Z87, DDR3 1600, 3xPCI-E, VGA, DVI, HDMI, DP
4 G.Skill Aegis 2x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz PC3-12800 Kit CL11-11-11-28
5 Gigabyte GTX780 OC 3GB GDDR5 DX11 2xDVI HDMI DP PCI-E
6 Samsung 840 EVO Series MZ-7TE250BW 250GB SSD SATA III
7 SeaSonic 850W Gold X-Series Active PFC 12cm Fan Modular PSU X-850 (Retail)
8 Corsair 500R Carbide Black Mid-Tower Case (No PSU)

If there is a need, I'm willing to add more money, but wouldn't want to add much more, since it already costs around 2100$ in my country.

What do you think I should change?

Thank you very much

i would drop to an xfx 750watt 80+ bronze its same unit from seasonic since this build is around 430watts.

getting a i5 4670k is similar performance to the 4770k it will save you a ton to get that.

instead of a gtx 780 put a gtx 780ti.

get yourself a WD caviar blue 1TB.

-that way its much better believe me

Don't buy G.Skill Aegis. It's an old RAM look for 1600/1866MHz CL9 1.5V RAM

i have made some changes with regard to your suggestions and suggestions from other people. tell me what you think now

i prefer to buy all the parts locally so this is why i don't buy Cooler Master and evga

i don't need a regular hard drive i have a huge external storage

don't forget that i am planning to do SLI in the future and a little OC to everything that i can

Thanks a lot

BTW gtx 780 ti cards cost too much i prefer to add a little more and do SLI

ygarti · Apr 20, 2014

Thanks for your quick response

i still prefer i7 4770k because i want to do OC and i understand that this CPU is better for OC

i cant buy the cpu cooler and the power supply that you suggest because they don't sell it here (no need for optical drive and WD 1TB drive)

the Samsung 840 EVO got much better score in benchmark (so i prefer that ssd)

i can buy the asus video card but i didn't find benchmark that prove that this card is better or worse then the Gigabyte (i'll be glad if you can show me benchmark results)

Thanks a lot for you time and effort

ygarti :

Changed RAM and GPU, don't get blue RAM with black/red motherboard, also spending 600$ on GTX-780 is not worth EVGA's SC ACX is much better than Gigabyte's card

HI All

The only evga card that i can buy in my country is this

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-03gp42883kr

Which costs 50% more

Can you suggest a good memory for this spec ?

Thanks for your help

Ahmadjon · Apr 21, 2014

ygarti :

If you play on single 1080p monitor then there is no point on getting GTX-780ti one GTX-780 would be more than enough for single 1080p monitor, I think 150~200$ is not worth for 10~15FPS in games while single GTX-780 give 60+FPS in almost all games with ultra setting at 1080p.

ygarti · Apr 21, 2014

OK good point (i didn't thought about that)

and what about the memory ?

RazerZ :

i'm from israel

1 usd = 3.48 nis

and there is a 18% tax on import computer parts

so the best solution is to buy here where you have local warranty
