URGENT HELP: Is this a good gaming build?

cenzo1339 · May 23, 2014

hello, I'm wondering if this is a good gaming build minus the graphics card because I'm getting one for my birthday. The graphics card I am getting is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932 unless you have another in mind? I would not want my build before the graphics card to exceed $800. This is urgent because my birthday is coming up very soon and I would like the computer to be built before my birthday.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($223.98 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.94 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($145.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($79.99 @ Micro Center)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($56.98 @ OutletPC)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($47.99 @ Micro Center)
Power Supply: XFX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($84.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($16.99 @ Newegg)

Total: $766.84

Thanks in advance!

You don't need a 750W unless you plan to SLI the 760 later. A XFX 550W would still be enough for a single 760

Your build is good. Following recommendations are for your consideration:

Mobo: Better go with Asus as their quality of their mobos is superb.

What's wrong with the ASRock? It seems to have way better reviews.

Nothing is wrong with ASRock

Comparing ASRock with Asus, Asus mobos have high quality build with good customer support.
