Is my PC ready to build and is everything compatible?

Grant56810 · Jan 2, 2015

Hello, and my PC build is on this link and I was wondering if it's all ready for my first build. Does everything fit? Is everything compatible? Is there enough coolant? Is there enough watts? Am I missing something that would aid in playing PC games at ultra at 1080p at 60FPS+ constantly? Am I missing something crucial to a PC build? I'm about to buy my parts, but feel free to take all the time you need to respond. Thanks!

everything looks great. i did notice you bought 2 GTX cards and only one monitor.. (ps: the GTX 970 could handle 6 monitors if it wanted too, you only need 1. trust me)

Running SLI.

other than needing case fans you look all set

It all looks good, but I would lose one GTX 970 or get at least a 1440p monitor. At 1080p you won't notice a difference between one or two in SLI since a single will already get you any game at ultra settings at 60 fps or more. Nice for benchmarks but overkill for 1080p.

stavie131 :

Integrated case fans. Alone, I know these probably won't be great, but everything that's in the case itself that gets hot already has its own fans, so the case fans are purely there for airflow (which the integrated ones will accomplish, correct me if I'm wrong, please).

Okay, switching to 1440p monitor.

How many case fans come with your case and do you know if they are 3oin or 4 pin(pwm) and if your mobo supports them

Looks great, all parts are compatible. I suggest getting a 240 GB SSD because 120 fills up very fast, even as a boot drive. Cheers.

Grant56810 · Jan 2, 2015

3 Case fans are included with I believe 4-5 more mounts for them (depending on the size of them). Yup. I don't know if my motherboard supports them or what pin they are, and if you could look into that then that'd be awesome.

Ryan Daugherty :

For the SSD I only plan on putting my OS, BF4 (Or any next Battlefield game I like more), and 1 more game on it, and my HHD for the rest. Thanks for the concern, though.

Just looked into the fan compatability, you are all set!

Grant56810 · Jan 2, 2015

Awesome!

Grant56810 · Jan 2, 2015

All of you helped me, so I feel like crap just choosing one of you as a solution, so I've decided that I will choose no one, but you will know that you all helped me. No hard feelings, and thank you very much.

stavie131 · Jan 2, 2015

no problem

Grant56810 · Jan 3, 2015

Actually, I'm switching back to a 1080p monitor just because I'm looking for that resolution but I want really high frame rates (110+). So yeah. Thanks.

bootcher · Jan 3, 2015

It is your money, but you are really throwing it away with this setup. You will not be able to notice any difference whatsoever between 60 fps or 100 fps, except for a benchmark tool or a fps counter.

Grant56810 · Jan 3, 2015

Could I safely get rid of one 970 and still be able to run games at 60 FPS? For example, Assassin's creed Unity. Another one: Battlefield 4. Another: Arma 3. You get the point.

Grant56810 · Jan 3, 2015

Checked benchmarks, and I'm satisfied. Switched to one GTX 970 instead of SLI.
