Could my cpu be better?

Levoration · Dec 10, 2014

I'm new to pc still and I want to know if I could have a better cpu than this if there are bottlenecks i want them to go away and have the performance at its maximum for everything.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nbZTNG

Holy batman, Robin, that's one heck of a rig. And within the confines of LGA 1150, that's the top-performing CPU. If you have bottlenecks, there isn't a configuration in this world that will be able to remove them. Happy trails.

If you're asking if a 4790k is the fastest desktop processor on the market, no - Intel's 2011 socket series has several options that have superior power compared with the Haswell-Refresh options. That being said, that 4790k is way more powerful that you will need for gaming and from a day to day workload perspective it will chew up dang near everything you throw at it. Just deployed one of those at the office with 16GB of RAM and 500GB SSD + 2TB HDD setup for a designer and it's comical how quickly it renders.

You are not going to have any issues with that build and it looks solid. The only thing I would suggest to you is you are obviously looking into multi-GPU high end gaming so it might be worth looking into getting a socket 2011 processor. The main advantage they have is more PCIe lanes to support some serious GPU and 3x channel RAM bandwidth. It is a bit of a step up in price but just a consideration. I think what you have already is a solid build though.

Thanks you guys I really appreciate the help and I've been doing my research and watching reviews. Everything in this build I have looked up significant reviews and made certain that this is the pc part or accessory I want in my gaming rig. Plus I am going to use this desktop for college and maybe youtube

Looks like a great build.

Personally, as its a windowed case, I would go for a Liquid AIO cooler, purely because they look a lot better IMO, but if you are fine with the Noctua air cooler looks then its fine.

I'm afraid I'd mess up a liquid water cooled system if i did it myself I was going to use a corsair led lighting kit to make it look cool inside but if you could maybe show me some lead way on the water cooling I will look into it more

Levoration :

Honestly, the AIO units are easier to install than big air coolers. They are maintenance free, so you cant open them up and get the liquid anywhere.

Have a look on youtube its dead easy.

Thats not to say the Noctua isnt good, (it is) but something like the H105 would look aesthetically better in a windowed case if that matters to you.

it doesn't really matter to me but i do want people to be like "oh shit thats cool"

Levoration · Dec 10, 2014

could I get different colored tubing with the H105 ? or if i wanted tht i'd have to have a whole other cooler type?

Levoration :

No, you would need something like the Rajintek Triton for that:

But thats a bit more like a custom loop, so if you arent confident with liquid cooling you may not want to.
