If you already have a GPU, then no need to get another one. The MSI card should be just fine.

For CPUs, I usually don't look at CPUs from the perspective of OC'ing; I picked the 4590 for that reason. If you're going to OC, then the 4690k will do great. I haven't seen enough testing to conclude an OC'ed i5 is really merited for gaming (yet), but take your pick. If you really want to OC, or you'll be doing more than just gaming, then it's worth the $40. I just haven't seen enough hard evidence that...

In my opinion, there's no reason to pay the extra for a Devil's Canyon chip; I'd just go with the Haswell. You won't notice the performance difference while gaming, and you save a few bucks. I swapped out the case for one I'd recommend in the same price range, as well as the PSU. I also included RAM, just in case you forgot to mention it.

thanks for the info :D i''ve found that i can put the radiator on the top of the case since there are 3 120mm fans slots available :D
BTW what do you mean by make sure there are no BIOS update? sr i'm a newbie -.-"
 


i saw the cover later . i used to see holes onthe top of the cases . The unlocked version - 4690K was released later and some old motherboards might need a BIOS update to support the processor well . To tell you the truth , i have never had such experience - to have to flash the BIOS .

If you really want to OC, or you'll be doing more than just gaming, then it's worth the $40. I just haven't seen enough hard evidence that supports OC'ing the i5 for gaming. In fact, I just was looking to see where the sweet spot for a gaming CPU would be, and it turns out Tom's released an article in Setpember about this topic- Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: September 2014 (Performance per Dollar page). The 4430 that was tested had this said about it, "Frankly, if value is an important consideration, there's little reason to spend $180 on a Core i5-4430... unless you want to overclock it for a better experience in some of your other apps." The 4590 will do you fine, and the 4690k (which was tested in that review) yielded no significant improvements over the 4430. The 4590 will give you just about the same performance as the 4690k (at stock clock speeds), but with lesser OC capabilities (the 4590 has a locked multiplier). You might want to look into a different MoBo if you want to OC the 4590, though; just an FYI.

Pick what will suit your needs the best. If you want to have better OC capabilities, just in case, then go with the 4690k. If you are only going to use it for gaming, and won't be doing other hardware demanding tasks, then you're best off going with the 4590, and spending that $40 on a game... or beer. I'd pick beer.
