First gaming build

aalganaraz · Sep 21, 2014

Hi every one, this is my first time building a game rig so I wanted to ask for advices and recommendations. My budget is 800 (have monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS). Currently this is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/aalganaraz/saved/sqwmP6 Unfortunately I don't have a lot of space so I need to keep the small case. But everything else can be change.

Do you have a micro center near you? Right now they are selling 4690k s for $199. Is there any reason that you picked the 4590s?

aalganaraz · Sep 21, 2014

not really. a friend just suggested that I should go with that one and no, there aren't an micro center around here.

MasterDell · Sep 21, 2014

The 4590s is a lower clocked version of the 4590 witch saves power. I suggest just going with the normal 4590

Sweet build though.. All of the parts look great with good brands. I can tell you actually researched your stuff

aalganaraz · Sep 21, 2014

I think I've read every forum, site, blog and that there is in the web jaja

MasterDell · Sep 21, 2014

Good, I am always happy to help people whenever they actually have done research.

aalganaraz · Sep 22, 2014

quick question any reason you would suggest the 4690k over the 4690?

MasterDell · Sep 22, 2014

4690k is unlocked which will give you the option to overclock in the future if you want

aalganaraz · Sep 22, 2014

hmm interesting, but then I would also need to invest in a cpu cooler. Anyways, am still not 100% sure of how that works and the plus and cons. So I need to do a little more research on that before deciding whether it would be beneficial for me or not.

MasterDell · Sep 22, 2014

Oh and I suggested the 4690k because of it's price. It is $199 from Micro Center right now if you pick it up. But if you don't I would just get the 4590 or 4690

aalganaraz · Sep 22, 2014

yeah I live in Fl and there aren't any of those around here. and the 4690 is at 188 in amazon.

MasterDell · Sep 22, 2014

Go for the 4690 then

The i5-4690k is a great processor that will allow you to overclock. Enjoy!

Would the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO be good enough for it? Because with taxes and shipping am already like $50 or so over my budget, so i really can't afford much more for now.

aalganaraz · Sep 22, 2014

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/aalganaraz/saved/MPKscf This is what I would say the final product. Had to change the memory because of space management, decided to go with the 4690k (I can always wait for a good special), am not including the case because someone else is buying it for me :-D and that's it.

MasterDell · Sep 22, 2014

Looks really good to me
