They are all compatible and good get the EVGA G2 750 watt PSU if possible and i hope the build is made for more than gaming because just for gaming it would be a bit overkill.

Get a better PSU the 750w RM isn't very good, the above mentioned evga G2 is much better. Also with the ram get ram with a CL(cas) of 9 or lower. You can usually find ddr3 1866 or 2133 with a cas of 9 for the same price as ddr3 1600. You can also drop the asus wireless card since the motherboard you have chosen actually has a better wireless card built in.

Drop the red and get the blue or go back to the barracuda you had listed before. Also the Samsung 840 you had before is a better drive than the kingston.

any reason you want that i7 over an i5? You could maybe get a 980 and a better PSU with the money saved.

Isn't the I7 much better and worth the extra cash?
(I am also using software which uses only 1 core of the processor)

bignastyid · Dec 5, 2014

joyseph :

In gaming and other tasks that only use 4 threads or less the i5 and i7 will perform the same(clock for clock). The i7 is only going to be faster once you start using more than 4 threads as it can handle 8 while the i5 can only do 4.

so is it worth it when I want to use games and photo editing software mainly?

For gaming it's not currently worth it. Games probably aren't going to start using more than 4 cores for a couple years.

Thanks for help, so far I think I am going with this configuration:

Intel Core i7-4790K Box, LGA1150
ASUS Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac), Sockel 1150, ATX
16GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance black PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-24
NZXT Phantom 410 Midi - Black , ATX,
Akasa AK-ICR-11 Interner Media Card Reader + Bluetooth,
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 850W ATX 2.3, 80+ Gold
ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5, 4GB DDR5
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6GB/s 9,5mm
Corsair Force GS 128GB SATA 6GB/s
ASUS DRW-24F1ST (Bulk) Silent

any thoughts?

prit87 · Dec 5, 2014

joyseph :

Its good and yes as said above the I7 and I5 will give you similar performance in gaming the main performance in a gaming PC comes from the GPU also currently 8 gb ram is enough for gaming but may be in couple of years the requirement will be higher you have overall a very good build currently a 550 watt PSU is enough for your system but in future if you plan on SLI then a 750 watt would be enough so you dont really need a 850 watt PSU but there is no harm in having more.

ok guys so this is my final config. let me know what you think?

• DRW-24F1ST, DVD
• Samsung 840 EVO 2,5" 120 GB, SSD
• Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac), Mainboard
• WD10EZEX 1 TB
• Kingston DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1600

looks good, but like others have said the i5 will do the job for gaming, but the i7 will leave you future proofed. if you jump on the i7 now, dont be fooled into upgrading the CPU for some time, probably 4 or 5 years or more before its truly necessary.
