A sweet high performance rig.

Alternate Build

FX 8320 AMD
MSI AM3+ gaming motherboard
ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II
Rest all same.

This will save quite a lot of bucks while giving same performance in gaming, given there's a 20% reduction in editing time and performance

Actually the 8320 performs significantly worse than the 4770k in gaming applications.

Umm, not really, an 8320/50 with R9 290X outperforms/spars with a 4770K with R9 280X, I believe there was a comparison somewhere in tom's forum on that subject. But, you know frame rate difference of 5-6 in the past 60 segment at 1080, doesn't really matter. That said, it saves quite some cash. Which can then be used to give treats :p

Unless you're going to be doing a lot of editing, you can save yourself some money and go with an i5-4690K CPU. If you won't be over-clocking, you can save yourself a little more money and get a non-K CPU. If you still want an i7, then go for the latest i7-4790 or i7-4790K and a Z97 motherboard. Also, get a GTX 970 or 980 graphics card if you can afford it. Those are the latest graphics cards and will run most all the current games out there on high settings with no problems. I would also recommend an SSD for your build. The rest of your build looks fine.

Just a few suggestions, best of luck to you and have fun with your build.

Ultra settings is more accurate. An SSD only decreases the loading times and is proven to not affect the gaming performance much. So if on a budget, there is no reason to buy an SSD!

Oh! And I know there's this segment between 7 and 8. So let's not go into that, but I should ask you to check windows 8.1 as an option if you're indifferent to the OS And, though SSD's don't affect gaming, it's still good to get a 60GB SSD for the OS drive(they aren't that costly). You'll feel it only if you see it.

Thanks for Alternate build




UK



GTX 970 cost to much, but thanks for suggestion



@DookieDraws

I would like to play games like Battlefield: 4 - COD: WA and stuff like that. I'm not looking to play this games at ultra settings but not on low settings too. I one word I love high frame rates :). I was looking Z97 before I decided to have Z87X but I decided that the price of that MB is to high.
Do you think that i7-4970K would be better that 4770K in Z87X ?, because when I look at the price the 4970K was about 20 pounds more




As far as I know, SSD only increase the speed when computer is working in background and when loading. So there's no really need for that. But If I'm wrong then correct me. I don't really like Windows 8 :>

No, you're right about that loading thing. Yea, SSD's have primary application in boot time reduction and data copy, lower pointing latency etc. So, if you're on a budget, save it. (Y) happy gaming ^_^
