Not necessarily bottleneck, but the graphics department could be better.

There is nothing in the build that would become a potential hindrance. If you can spring for it, I would recommend at least getting a 770. Otherwise, this build should still perform quite well.

It definitely shouldn't. What power supply are you getting for that?

Yes, your graphics card is slow. You can step down to the 4670K and lose almost nothing in gaming speed and free up $100. Also the second 8GB of memory does little. I'd step down to the 4690K and 8GB RAM and get either a GTX 770 or add add about 40 dollars more and step up to a GTX 780.

I would suggest an EVGA 770 GTX SC card... either in 2GB flavor or 4GB which ever you prefer. I would recommend the 4GB if you plan on playing at a higher resolution than 1080p or play modded games such as modded Skyrim.

Babernet also has great suggestions. If you are going to be doing any rendering or editing then I would stick with the i7. Otherwise, yeah, save yourself the money from the CPU and sink it into the GPU.

Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 1000W 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply

My budget right now is around 600$.

And Kira, I don't do any graphic editing nor graphic rendering.


And you, Babernet that my video card is slow?
And you think I should upgrade my video card to a GTX 780?

What about two graphic cards
Anyway, thanks for the guys & girls.

I would definitely move the CPU to an i5 - 4690k and use the money savings to get an EVGA GTX 780 SC. This would allow you to max out most games at 1080p.

Yeah, I would recommend the one with the ACX cooler as it keeps the card cooler.

Or the better card, the FTW edition is on better sale at the moment

If you have a small case or want most of the heat to go out the back instead of the case then get the regular cooler such as the one that you posted. I prefer the ACX cooler from EVGA as it tends to keep the card cooler and if you have proper airflow in your case you do not have to worry about the heat being dumped into the case (which is not much anyways so I would not worry about it much).
