Got any storage with that build

Oh I see your still working on it I would drop an SSD in there to install windows to and grab a HDD for storage.
Don't forget your case.
The 4590 is great it can handle pretty much any gpu you throw at it.
I've looked at the H97 Pro 4 multiple times nice little board very aesthetically pleasing.
Have fun.

Vijay Ji plz add an SSD

Vijay Sohal · Jan 12, 2015

ow..sorry forgot the storage.. 1tb Western Digital Caviar blue.. should i include ssd also?

Vijay Sohal · Jan 12, 2015

what about my GPU? is it good enough? =)

CTurbo · Jan 12, 2015

Get a better psu. You can get several different Seasonic psus(XFX, Antec) for that price.

Also, you can get a R9 280x for the price of that GTX760 which would be a lot better.

ONKI · Jan 12, 2015

Vijay Sohal :

GPU is okay for normal gaming
SSD is a must

Vijay Sohal · Jan 12, 2015

so what brand can you suggest for r9 280x GPU?thanks man

ONKI · Jan 12, 2015

CTurbo :

280x is priced higher than GTX 760.

Put as much money as you've got left into your gpu and an ssd doesn't need to be larger than 120gb.

CTurbo :

sadly asus r9 280x is not available here..what about sapphire radeon r9 280x dual oc 3gb?

galactigus · Jan 12, 2015

You can bump it up even further to the gtx 970 if you have the budget.

ONKI · Jan 12, 2015

970 would be the best soln. for u if u have the budget.

but the build u made is pretty decent for mid level gaming.

CTurbo · Jan 12, 2015

The Sapphire dual-X 280x is the best 280x IMO. The XFX DD 280x is good too.

Vijay Sohal · Jan 12, 2015

galactigus :

noted bro. thanks

galactigus · Jan 12, 2015

Oh and don't forget your case lol can't repeat that enough

Vijay Sohal · Jan 12, 2015

by the way my chasis will be NZXT beta evo only? nah..970 is 186$ more than r9 280x here in the philippines =(

galactigus · Jan 12, 2015

It's only about 100$ more here but that's still quite a bit ya just go with whatever your budget allows man.

whitechili · Jan 12, 2015

i think the only thing I would chance would be a VERY small 60gb boot ssd. Some can be found for 30-40 dollars

galactigus · Jan 13, 2015

My drive is using 80GB right now and I pretty much only have my OS installed to it so I would still recommend a 120 Kingston usually has the cheapest.

Vijay Sohal · Jan 13, 2015

galactigus :
