New MOBO, CPU, and GPU

Zherms · Jun 13, 2014

I am looking to buy the gtx 780 lightning with the asus formula VI and a 4770k.

GTX 780 Lightning - 560$

ASUS Maximus Formula VI - 290$

i7 4770k - 315$

Are there any other suggestions?

What's your CPU cooler?

What is the PC going to be used for?

thats very powerful heres an amd setup
FX-9370, r9 295x, and 32gb ram
and an intel setup at a lower price
i7 4770k, gtx 770, the motherboard is a bit overkill try to improve the cooling more

Hardcore gaming and no CPU cooler yet but I may buy a h100i or cooler master siedon 240m.

purpose for it? only gaming or some 3d/video rendering involved?

Zherms :

A CPU "expert" buying unlocked i7 CPU for gaming with a $300 motherboard and no cooler.

Are you sure you're an "expert"?

What resolution are you gaming at?

Zherms · Jun 13, 2014

I might be rendering things too, but not as much as gaming

get a water cooler and buy a $100 motherboard, cooling is more important if you're over clocking

Graphiicz · Jun 13, 2014

AliRidha :

No. A motherboard is just as important. NEVER cheap out on it.

Would suggest getting a newer Z97 board, and an i7-4790k. The new i7s are faster, and and OC a whole lot higher, especially if you're water cooling. And because it was mentioned in the thread... I would never go AMD if you have the money for an i7.

I forgot that it was coming out, do you know the release date?
I think its on the 25th but not quite sure.

Graphiicz · Jun 13, 2014

It's out already. But you don't need an i7 for gaming tbh.

enemy1g :

^agree. Also if you want to step it up to a gtx 780 Ti, the MSI gaming card is on sale for $599, just thought i'd point that out.

If you're in the UK, I think it's already released. But if you're in the states, the i7-4790k released on the 20th, with pre-orders already available I believe. Z97 boards are also already available, regardless of region.
