Looking for ideas in Building a PC

Han Xing · Oct 31, 2014

Hi guys,

I am pretty new on building custom PC
I came up with this custom build:

Intel Core i7-4790K Processor
corsair vengeance PRO 8GB (4X2)
SSD: SUM SUNG EVO 250GB
HDD 1 TB
Power Supply : Corsair RM 750W
Motherboard: ASUS sabertooth Z97 MK1
VGA : Asus Nvidia GTX 970
Monitor: LED Monitor Dell 24'' S2440L

( I don't plan to do any overclocking )

pls kindly add any suggestion , I would highly appreciate it
and sorry for my poor English.

No complaints here. Don't really need a Z97 board if you aren't overclocking, but not reason not to buy the capability with the K chip.

What software are you going to run. What are you using the computer for? Gaming, rendering, photo edit, video creation, animation, business office, scientific computing?????

Eximo that comment was pointless

. OP wants to SLI obviously in the future. Hense the 750w psu. Only two issues I see. One of which is the terribly over priced PSU and motherboard. Not too bad products but youre basically throwing your money out the door. Instead for the power supply, I suggest the EVGA 750W G2. And for the motherboard you should get the Gigabyte UD5H

MasterDell :

Thanks for suggestion I will think about that, but can u suggest me an Asus motherboard ? cuz I only love and trust Asus product

DonkeyOatie :

Mostly Gaming and photo editing.

MasterDell :

Just a clarification. Your suggested power supply costs more than the Corsair RM although, of course, it is a lot better. From what you said I got the impression that you offering something better for the same price.

If I'm reading things right, the Corsair RM 750 is a tier 3 PSU,
The EVGA SuperNOVA NEX G1 is cheaper than the Corsair and also tier 3.
The EVGA G2 costs more than the Corsair, but is tier 1, and so highly recommended.

For a cheaper PSU, although non-modular this https://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-tp750c would seem to be a bargain. Tier 2a for $60

That non modular would be such a pain especially considering its a high end PSU. Meaning it's going to be having even more cables for sli. You're spot on about the g2 btw

DonkeyOatie · Nov 1, 2014

So you were suggesting ditch the Corsair and go to the more expensive G2?

I think that a cheaper high-tier Bronze would do since overclocking is out.

DonkeyOatie :

Then OP can get a B2. Sorry but the G2 fluctuates in price from $79.99-109.99. I dont have an RMS feed telling me when it drops

DonkeyOatie · Nov 1, 2014

Got it. Buy the G2 when it's cheap. The fearless hunter lies in wait for prey

MasterDell · Nov 1, 2014

DonkeyOatie :

Still tier 2a and there is no funny business with mail in rebates. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

And its semi modular so you wont have a giant clump of cables
