My New Rig

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

Hi guys im gonna list my rig down below and I just want you guys to check if everything would work well together and please be honest and give advice where you think areas could improve etc. My budget is around £600. I want to play Crysis 3 max and bf4 max as well as raiding on lord of the rings online.

EVGA GTX 970 4GB

Looks good to me. For a non-overclocking build, this should max those games. Crysis 3 without AA of course though.

That mobo, is it meant to be a h87 killer? The link is weird.

As it is, it works, but check the board, I think the listing is messed up

As for the ssd I would look to get a 250gb 840 evo or mx100 instead, much faster than what you have picked

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

It's a h97 killer

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

There will be VERY little to zero noticeable difference between the SSDs. Stick with 120gb and add a 1tb HDD for games and data.

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KFAGCUM/ref=twister_B00KMX1UZO would this be a better SSD? I only wanna put games on it cause I have a HDD 500gb

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

Don't waste that much money on an SSD. Stick with 120gb. Only the OS will go on it really.

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

alright fair enough ill just stick to my 500gb HD

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

Sounds good.

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

is 550W also enough for this system?

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

should i stick with stock cpu fan?

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

You will not be overclocking, so yes the stock cooler is perfectly fine.

550 is perfectly fine here. The unit you picked is VERY high quality.

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

awesome stuff, I've just found out this all comes to a grand total of £599 very chuffed, should be a beast!

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

Awesome! Should be a good build.

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

decided to go with i5 4690 instead of 4670 cause the 90 is cheaper and better

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

Awesome! Love when stuff works out like that.

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

me too thanks alot for the help!

tiny voices · Sep 22, 2014

Always glad to be able to help!

Videographer · Sep 22, 2014

Before you buy see if a Xeon 1230 v3 is the same price, its better but often cheap too. Its basically an i7 without the gpu

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

it's about £20 more in uk so i think I'll pass on that

Dan010101 · Sep 22, 2014

looks like a great cpu for money tho

Videographer · Sep 22, 2014

Certainly is, often overlooked because people go for the i5 and i7. Good build for your 600 anyway
