Hey guys, been wanting to build a new gaming PC from scratch, but I don't feel confident in my ability to build a well-rounded, balanced rig, so I'd really appreciate some input.
Some considerations:
So, here's my build:
What do you guys think? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Some considerations:
I don't want to overclock my processor, I'm fine with a proc at stock frequency
I already have 2 SSDs and an optical drive, so that's why no storage/optical drives are mentioned below
I'm clueless about choosing a good motherboard-processor-memory-video card combination. I've chose an Asus H87 simply because I didn't need a Z87 as I don't want to overclock AND the proc is an i7 4770 (no K), and ASUS seems like a good bet as a solid mobo brand
I'd like the system to be as silent as possible (cooler, case, even graphics card coolers maybe?) without this cutting into performance ratings. If having a more silent system means sacrificing a better graphics card, I'd much rather have the card instead
I don't care how the case looks, I want it to be efficient as possible (in terms of airflow, quality, etc.)
I plan to use the computer for gaming (although I play mostly hardware-inexpensive games like Starcraft 2, I also play the occasional high-end graphics titles that come out), and try out streaming
So, here's my build:
Proc: Core i7 4770 3.4GHz
Mobo: ASUS H87-PLUS
Graphics Card: Palit GeForce GTX 770 JetStream 4GB DDR5 256-bit
Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 412S
Power Supply: Chieftec Smart Series GPS-700A8
Case: Corsair Graphite 230T Orange Windowed
What do you guys think? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
