Hi Tomshardware people!!!
I am Hardpchow, I am building my first ever self-build real gaming PC (cannot use my GT430 anymore )
I am here to seek help..
i) Any suggestion on my rig?
ii) is 850W PSU enough for my rig? from what I described below I got i7-4770k, 780ti, some ssd and harddisk, cpu cooling fan and some default fan from the case, I will most probably add in a sound card too, also I may learn to overclock and SLI in years too come (maybe not now)
Approximate Purchase Date:
This week. (was waiting for too long already haha)
Budget Range:
The cheaper the better... however not as cheap as what I can get in US
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
High End gaming ( I need this, cannot stand against my old GT430 anymore)
Video editing
normal web surfing...
Are you buying a monitor:
Yes, will buy and overclock it later, (buy the main rig 1st then only think about that)
Parts I wanted to use:
CPU: i7-4770K (may overclock, next time, still new to that)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Hero (Z97) ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (maybe the storage size is too large, see how)
unknown brand harddisk from old pc (by unknown I mean forgot already)
Video card: Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB DirectCU II Video Card Dfinally, no more GT430)
Case: Corsair 760T White ATX Full Tower Case (I guess there are several fan included)
Power supply: SeaSonic X Series 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Soundcard: will get one, maybe from creative, haven't look through yet...
Optical drive: May use old pc's samsung drive
monitor: will buy a overclockable 27' monitor (not thinking about that yet, wanted grab my main rig 1st!)
From Pcpartpicker , total and cheapest is about USD2200, but to buy the same thing in my country it costs about 20% more (etc USD2700)
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes, will buy window 8.1 (price not included in the figure above)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Newegg, amazon, pcpartpicker, etcetc... but I do not live here in US, so only for reference (not buying from here, no chance)
Location: I hope I can buy in US, but no chance.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 27" ( should be 1920 x 1200, correct me if I am wrong)
Additional Comments: Just want a good gaming pc, reliable, max out all game, last for more years.
