My Gaming Build

PSU : 600Watts Aurum S Gold FSP
GPU : Radeon R9 270x Devil Edition
CPU : Intel Core i7 4770k
Casing : Strike X One
Mother Board : L337 Gaming Gank Drone Z87H3-A3x
Ram : 8gb Ram DDR3 1333
Monitor : Devant 24in. LED TECH Monitor (1366x768 Res) (But in games i can change this to 1980x1080p) i used a Dvi to Hdmi cable. (No longer Fuzzy)!
Keyboard : Razer BlackWidow Stealth
Mouse : Razer Orochi 2013

is this enough for today's gaming?

THANKS!!

Gaming on a 768p monitor with a 270x is not good. You should have at least a 1080p. That PSU isn't good too. Lastly, why 1333MHz when most use 1600MHz?

The Radeon 270X is a mid-range GPU and 1366x768 is a low-end resolution.

A real high-end system would have at least an R9-280 and a 1080p display.

You're spending far too much on the CPU. Get a better PSU, XFX, SeaSonic, Corsair AX/HX/TX. At LEAST a GTX 760 or 770 would be ideal. AMD counterparts work too if you prefer them. RAM is hopefully a 2x4GB kit, and as the thers have said, at least 1600 MHz, you'll ideally want CL7 as well. Triple agree with the 1080p monitor over the one you have chosen.

If you're sold on that monitor, then that build would be great for gaming. (1366x768 doesn't need a powerful GPU)

However, most gamers prefer 1920x1080. Upgrade the GPU and drop the CPU to i5-4670K.

ejbriones · May 23, 2014

But When i try to pick 1920x1080 resolution my MONITOR goes FUZZY it's hard to read letters.
I already built this. I cant drop my cpu to i5-4670k.

ejbriones :

Your low-definition LCD is downscaling the higher resolution output. You would not have the "fuzziness" issue if you had a real 1080p display.

ejbriones · May 23, 2014

But it says in the box FULL HD 1080p... Others says i should pick HDMI/PC not HDMI/TV... i tried to find it. But seems no such thing found.

1. Go for 1080p display, if the text is too hard for you to read zoom to 150% in control panel, if you really want that 768p monitor then there's no need to change anything except the ram
2. Change the RAM to 1600 MHz

tiny voices · May 23, 2014

If the CPU was dropped to an i5 and the GPU bumped up to a 280x or gtx770, I would have considered it high end.

You PSU is not the best quality either. Your RAM is 1333mhz which is slow compared to high end RAM (this makes no real performance difference, but if building a high end computer you should get 1600mhz RAM on principle as it costs the same)

IHaveDaBestPC :

He already built the system.

IHaveDaBestPC · May 23, 2014

tiny voices :

Then, as I say: Everything in that build is high-end except the PSU and RAM

ejbriones :

This is caused by your TV misinterpreting the (pixel perfect) PC signal as a (potentially terrible) normal TV/cable/dvd signal, therefore overscanning/underscanning and applying blurs. This only happens on HDMI, so switching to VGA or DVI is the easiest fix. Otherwise changing your TV settings or disabling HDMI audio can sometimes fix this issue.

Playing at lower resolution does not magically make 1333MT/s RAM, a R7-270X, 768p resolution, etc. high-end.

It only allows lower-spec components to feel like they are better than they actually are... an i7-4770k looks considerably out of place next to all the lower spec components in the build.

ejbriones · May 24, 2014

i already tried switching cables Dvi to Vga or Dvi to Hdmi even Hdmi to Vga.... all doesn't work. thanks for ur replies guys... Im gonna change my ram and ill try to change my psu to corsair 700watts or 650 watts.... I'll try to zoom my text to 150%..

tiny voices · May 24, 2014

Only buy a Corsair AX, TX or HX unit. NOT any other series.

InvalidError · May 24, 2014

ejbriones :

Of course it does not. If you try shoving 1080p through a display that can only do 768p, the output gets re-scaled either by the GPU or display and becomes fuzzy. There is no magic way to avoid that. You could crop the screen but that would be a little silly; might as well run at the native resolution.

ejbriones · May 24, 2014

Thanks GUYS!!! Somehow i figure it out! I did this...
While on your Desktop choose 1366x768 that's ok! Because it's only your desktop.
But your games will change ur Resolution. If not Manually change it to 1980x1080.
I Bought today a Dvi to Hdmi Cable. And somehow it worked. So BIG THANKS to all of u!
And BTW the technician at PcExpress said u dont need to change ur PSU it's already "POWERFUL".
So what do u think should i take his advice or Change it?

tiny voices · May 24, 2014

That guy at the store probably knows nothing about PSU quality at all.

ejbriones · May 24, 2014

yeah that's what i think so. But i bought it at 6000php or 130 dollars it's pretty expensive. I'll just stick with it. Give me advice on buying Ram. I think i ll get this GSKILL RipJaws 8gb 1600 is this enough or Should i get another 4gb or 8 gb?

tiny voices · May 24, 2014

All RAM is pretty much the same. GEt 1600mhz 1.5v 2x4gb.

8gb is MORE than you need. DO NOT get more than 8gb.

ejbriones · May 24, 2014

You mean i should NOT get a 1 STICK 8GB RAM why? Please explain.

tiny voices · May 24, 2014

Dual channel RAM is always faster.

InvalidError · May 24, 2014

ejbriones :

Memory bandwidth.

Single channel: 64 bits x 1600MT/s / (8bits/byte) = 12.8GB/s peak memory bandwidth
Dual channel: 128 bits x 1600MT/s / (8bits/byte) = 25.6GB/s peak memory bandwidth

So, with single-channel memory, the CPU may waste up to twice as much time waiting for data.

Thanks. Now i understand.
