Gaming pc 1200$

Mmeester · Jun 13, 2014

Hello everyone, I'm building my first pc, which I want to use for gaming. I was thinking about this setup:

CPU =I5 4670k
GPU= MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming
CPU Cooling= COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 evo
Motherboard= MSI Z97 gaming 5
PSU=Cooler Master V Series V850
HDD = SEAGATE BARRACUDA ST2000DM001 2 TB
Case = CORSAIR CARBIDE SPEC-02 RED LED.
RAM = Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1600MHz CL10

What do you guys think of it and do you have any recommendations to improve it? I don't really want to get more expensive than this. I've used the 850W because maybe in the future i want to do SLI.

Do you want to overclock?

Yes, improvements can be made. Like getting rid of that cooler if you want to overclock.

good part choice,it'll serve u nice.COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 evo is a decent cooler for overclocking.also a ssd would be nice for faster boot & less game loading time.

Explain the i7 in a gaming build. It's not the "best". It's the same as an i5 just a lot more expensive.

Mmeester · Jun 13, 2014

Thanks guys.

It actually is not the same as core i5 lol, its much much much much faster, it has 8 threads, it also has hyperthreading, and you can easily surpass 5.0Ghz with watercooling with i7.

Almost as if you're intentionally ignoring me.

It's the same for GAMING.
