The AsRock motherboard has great audio capabilities. This build would be good for u.

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

It looks good. Would i be to run every game out there on max details at 1080p with 60+ fps? If not the build isnt good enough and i need to raise my budget .

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

Able*

charanjit1998 · May 12, 2014

U can max out every game on 1080p with 60+ fps out there without any problem. Theres no need to worry.

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

Thanks. Do you know how to bring the price down and still not loose any performance?

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

Anyone? If its not possible then its ok but as everyone i would like to save some pennies.

shopa89 :

Not really. You could get the R9 280X but it won't run quite as well. It consumes more power than the GTX 780 also.

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

Ive played a bit. What do you think?http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3Ir8D

Graphiicz · May 12, 2014

shopa89 :

You aren't going to get a great overclock with that CPU cooler.

charanjit1998 · May 12, 2014

@shopa89: ur build is good. But theres a tiny little issue. The cpu 8 pin cable in the s12ii is slightly short and u may get a minor issue in cable management. If u dont mind how the pc looks inside, then u can go with this build.

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

Im not planning heavy overclocking anyway, 4.0-4.2 is my aim. And from what ive read that cooler is enough for that one. What do you think?

charanjit1998 · May 12, 2014

Yeah, u can oc ur cpu to like 4.2 ghz with cm hyper 212 evo.

shopa89 · May 12, 2014

But the ram, ssd hdd is good to go? Ram looks a bit better doesnt it?

Suztera · May 12, 2014

I think it would be better to change the power supply to a XFX 650W. It is a semi modular power supply and is only £2 more.
You can get a MSI GTX 780 at a cheaper price which will perform similar to the EVGA

Thanks alot, what do you think about asus n13 ? Is there any difference when it comes to internet speed between 15 pounds one and lets say 30-40 one?

Ive changed mobo to gigabyte z97x gaming 3 which is the same price as asrock z87, it looks way better and it has the same audio realtek codec. What do you think?

Suztera · May 13, 2014

shopa89 :

I think you have to wait for the z97 to come in stock. I not sure when but i saw some retailers may receive motherboards on the 20th of May. If you want to wait a bit before getting the z97 you can but If you need a computer now get a z87. There are certain motherboards that you can get now at some retailers like MSImotherboards.
