i need advice confirmation about this build

MidoDragon · Oct 1, 2014

i need someone to look at the build i have made on this website http://www.pc-specs.com/pc-custom-builds/472298 and tell me if these parts will fit together or should i replace some of them. for example if the motherboard will fit in the case with the power supply and if the GPU will fit in the motherboard or is the GPU too big? also will there be a room to install the CPU cooler or not? do u guys think with this build i can run all games on ultra with 60 fps or as long as not less then 30 fps ill be happy

P.S. : i find this website much easier than PCPartPicker.com

GTX 770 is outdated with 2GB VRAM . Get GTX 970 4GB and faster. i would get a mobo with H97 chipset . For case : i would get Corsair 200R . It can handle large cards quite well .

Looks good, but swap out the junk psu for an XFX 550W. Also drop the cooler and uprade the graphics card to a gtx 970 and swap the single stick of ram for 2x4GB modules.

TheIcedCanadian · Oct 1, 2014

The Graphics card will fit in the case (just - clearance just 1/2 inch).

The build should run games OK, but here is a build for cheaper that should give you much better performance (I know you don't like PCPartPicker but it is my preferred PC builder

guys, 1st: im from Egypt, only amazon can ship to Egypt

, 2nd: gtx 970 requires 12GB of ram, how will 8GB ram will handle the gpu+ the cpu + the running game at the same time, 3rd: how does 2x4gb is better than 1x8gb? and since i may upgrade rams in the future it would be a waste to buy 2x4gb then upgrade to 2x8gb

rockie_ · Oct 1, 2014

Where did you read that about 12GB ? i havent seen such requirement .

sparestuff · Oct 1, 2014

It's RECOMMENDED to have 12gb of ram, but 8gb will more than suffice for gaming or other activities, and for your budget it would be harder to get 12-16gb ram, so sticking with 8gb is absolutely fine.

rockie_ · Oct 1, 2014

MidoDragon :

Ha , ha , best ram match 12GB and i7 477K , nonsense . BETTER match 16GB + i5 4790K . Dont make me laugh . Dont confuse the optimal RAM with min requirement .

You can just search up each individual part on amazon from the builds listed here and see the price on amazon, at least you know what you want to buy now, here is my build, hope you like it.

TheIcedCanadian · Oct 1, 2014

Here is a build that you can buy all from Amazon inside your budget, with a GTX970 inside.

MidoDragon · Oct 1, 2014

how come 2x4gb is better than 1x8gb? and since i may upgrade rams in the future it would be a waste to buy 2x4gb then upgrade to 2x8gb. and does games run smooth with u guys that have gtx 970 with only 8gb ram and i5 cpu, or they have hard time to keep up with the GPU?

rockie_ · Oct 1, 2014

Some guys say Dual channel memory brings 20% boost . If you got 2x4GB , later you could get another2x4GB , and would have 16GB , if the mobo has 4 RAM slots like Asrock H97 Pro4 .
