Gaming PC Build for $1000-$1500

HadiKiwan · Nov 8, 2014

Hi,

I am kind of trying to search for good parts to build a beast gaming PC. I will be playing games and will also record with DxTory and/or Fraps. I need stable & suitable FPS for that.
Here's a list of the games I want to run with the amount of FPS I'm satisfied with:
1. Minecraft: 500 FPS. (~150 FPS while recording)
2. Battlefield 4: 100 FPS (~60 FPS while recording)
3. CounterStrike : Global Offensive: 200 FPS (~100 FPS while recording)
4. League of Legends: 300 FPS (~150 FPS while recording)
ETC...

If you can, please give me the option of the case with the motherboard since it takes me to long to find a suitable case for the motherboard. So, please give me a list of everything I need. (All the parts) Also, please give me the links to the Amazon website since I can't buy for Newegg. (The specified amount of money is only for the PC. It excludes the Monitor, Mouse & Keyboard)

Thanks in advance!

You could overclock the snot out of everything, but the CPU is chosen for it's 4.0Ghz clock, not overclocking, and the Z97 board is for SLI not overclocking.

One GTX970 will probably meet you objectives, but I'm note sure, so started with two. I'd get one to start with and see if a bit of overclocking of either the CU or GPU would do what you want. The extra HDD space and 16Gb of memory is to allow you to edit videos and render images, not for improved gaming.

I have no clue about this particular case, but it's reviews are good. My experience is limited to smaller builds and cases are a very personal choice.
