I plan on installing Windows 8.1 and getting a 1080p 60hz monitor. I do need help with choosing out a motherboard, case, and PSU. I don't know which one to get!

Also, please tell me if it can run these games...

Can I run these games?
• GTA IV - Min: 30 Max: 60 Avg: 40-45
• GTA V guess of course - Same as GTA IV. Maintain over 30 at all times
• Battlefield 4 - Ultra at 40+ FPS stable

I am not planning to overclock, which is why I didn't go all out on cooling.

In conclusion, please DO...
• Tell me if I can run those games.
• Suggest a MoBo, PSU, and Case
• Confirm with me if everything is compatible.

In conclusion, please DO NOT...
• Suggest any other components other than MoBo Case and PSU

Thanks Tommies! (i hope that catches on :$)

Regards,
Ryan

You can put your pc details into the relevant game debate screen for the particular game and get what fps to expect. Or have a lok at reviews on the evga gtx 770.

To pair up with the i5 4670k, go for an Asus Z87-A. You might also want to have
a look at the newer i5 4690k with an Asus Z97-A or ASRock Z97 Extreme 4

You should get a good size mid tower case for your build eg Coolermaster 690II, HAF XM or Stormtrooper or
Corsair Spec 03, 230T or 450D

To run the 770 you'll need a 600+W PSU eg Seasonmic 620, XFX 650 or Antec HCG 620M

But mini-itx systems are so cute and space saving. :mdr:

If you're not plannign on overclocking, I would recommend getting a locked processor and an H97 board. As for the case, it depends on your budget, and what you like, I would suggest you have a look at the NZXT H440 if you don't mind not having an optical drive. The PSUs suggested above are very good.
