Hi Everyone.
I am finally ready to upgrade my 6-7 year desktop pc to a new one.
OK basically i have been researching for the last 3 weeks, reading reviews etc etc.
The following are the parts i have come up with and i would like your input/opinions on this build;
CPU: i7-4790K
MOBO: Asus Z97 Pro or Deluxe (only difference i see between these mobo are more connections?)
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250gb
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61
CASE: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case
RAM: (Not sure which one to get? to many to choose, should i go with a higher ?MHZ? and i was thinking around 16GB of ram)
PSU: (I have an existing 1200W thermaltake tough power which i purchased around 6 years ago, can i still use it or is it best to purchase a new one?)
GPU: (Currently im not planning on getting one now, i will purchase one 2-3 months down the track, ill just use my 2x 9800GTX existing cards) 80% im going to sli 2 cards or is it best to go single?
Ok now i think you guys would like some further info such as;
Q: What am i going to use the computer for:
A: Going to use this computer for everything, alot of editing, use as a htpc & (gaming but not now in 2-3 months.)
Q: Am i going to over-clock?
A: most likely as the asus board z97 has a nice feature where you can over-clock your cpu for certain applications or games which i think is awesome.
Q: Price range for this build
A: Im happy to spend no more than $1500 without the GPU card, as i plan on getting this 2-3 months.
Q: Pre built or i build?
A: I will defiantly building this PC myself, have built a few in the pass
Now questions i have:
I was looking to replacing stock fans with the the 'Aerocool DS' since they apparently quiet and i love neons in my pc.
And if you think i should get some other component or maybe look into something else please advise as well, would love to hear your inputs and thoughts.
Lastly but not least i am sorry for the long post, just its exciting building a new PC.
Cheers.
