Enapace · Dec 10, 2014

Hi all I've nearly finished my build for my new Gaming PC and figured I would see what everyone thought.

Intel 4790K
Gigabyte Z97M-D3H Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX
Corsair RM Series RM 550 '80+ Gold' 550W Power Supply
Kingston HyperX 16GB (4x4GB) PC3-14900C9 1866MHz
1TB Seagate 7200rpm HDD
Bit Fenix Phenom Nvidia Special Edition White
ARCTIC Cooling Freezer 13 CPU Cooler
MSI GTX 980 [Most Likely what I getting round it off]

If it's just for gaming, just get one 8 GB DIMM (if you want to upgrade to 16 GB later). You may want a bigger PSU and 970 SLI instead of 980.

Alpha3031 :

Already have everything except the graphics card now. I've always been someone who prefers just a single card instead of SLI may sound weird just preferred to always just get a single top end card to power my rigs.

In future I might upgrade the PSU but at moment it should be fine for what I need it to do.

Forgot mention I will be using a Dell Ultrasharp U2414 Monitor.

Sure, it'll work. I usually prefer single cards too, but the GTX 980/970 SLI is the exception.

Did you buy all the parts at once or buy them over a certain period of time?

Enapace · Dec 20, 2014

I brought them over a period of time but most of that build is not going be used getting a new motherboard and PSU so I can run 970 SLI which I think will run far better than a single 980.

Enapace :

I like your build and I agree with the SLI 970's over a single 980.

Thats what I am going to do with this build > http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/stevengibsonXD/saved/7wZG3C
I am going to build this over about 3months and then in the future upgrade to 32gb RAM and SLI 970's
