Ibuypower Computer Build Feedback

Roco45 · Oct 16, 2014

Hey, so like the title says I'm looking to build a computer from Ibuypower. Id really like to build my own but I fell in love with the Revolt Chassis and cant seem to find anywhere to buy It so here I am ready to buy from their site. Okay so heres basically what parts I've picked currently (likely to change since I'm waiting till christmas for deals) and would love some feedback on it.

-Intel Core i5-4690k (4x 3.50GHz/6MB L3 Cache)
-Asetek 550LC Liquid Cooling
-G Skill Ripjaw X 8GB DDR3-1600 Memory
-Nvidia gtx 750Ti 2GB Superclocked
-ASRock B85M-ITX Mobo
-1TB HD

If anything id be more likely to upgrade if the Cyber Monday deals look good. Would use this for obviously heavy gaming but also AutoCad and Inventor.

-Thank You guys!

Sorry, that is a dumb list of parts.
1. A B85 chipset will not let you overclock a "K" cpu.
2. Liquid cooling on a non overclockable cpu is expensive and useless.
3. GTX750ti is very weak for your cpu.

All for a small hard to cool chassis?

Roco45 :

Get an R9 270(x) which performs higher than the 750ti and costs about the same. I would also add an SSD to speed up boot times and game loading.

I initially thought the same thing in regards to overclocking but Asrock(and other manufacturers) have enabled overclocking on the B85 chipsets.

That doesn't seem to be an option, how would the gtx 760 hold up? Or if I really reached, the gtx 980?

Make sure you get a name brand power supply their stock ones are total garbage.

If you can really reach for a GTX980, then you will be really pleased with a GTX970.
Almost as fast and considerably less expensive.

At some point, Intel may well stop supporting "K" overclocks while allowing G3258 overclocks on B85 based motherboards.

With this budget, I think I would pay the extra $100 for a i7-4790K and run it at stock, 4.0 with 4.4 turbo.

This is all just talk since many things will change by Christmas which is your buying time frame.

PSU choice is not likely to be an option.
The Revolt is a small form factor case.
Buyer reviewers seem to be either very pleased or very unhappy.
This is what it looks like:
