srdaro · Jan 16, 2015

As i said,i would like to build a new gaming pc,my budget would be around 1300$.
So what would be the best components for next gen gaming,games from 2012 and above,like Battlefield 4,Grand theft auto V etc.
Thank you guys

Do you plan to overclock the CPU to make it faster? (learning required and patience?)

The Kasafist · Jan 16, 2015

That's not as much a relevant question as say what kind of settings you plan to push on the games you plan to play? Ultra, high or medium performance, what kind of storage capacity are you looking at too.

Jonathan Cave :

Apsolutly yes... i already saw how to overclock intel i5 and devil's canyon i7 so i know a little bit about how to overclock an intel..

The Kasafist :

High settings

The Kasafist · Jan 16, 2015

Ok sounds good a simply GTX 970 will run most games on high or ultra. Is there anything you do have already such as the OS or any peripherals or monitor?

The Kasafist :

What about the Processor? wich one would be the best for this budget,considering the box,motherboard,and ram

Nothing to worry about yet we can make sure to slap a good K series in the build for your overclocking needs! Are you looking at 5th gen Intel with DDR4 RAM and an X99 chipset motherboard or previous gen system with DDR3, and 4th gen Intel? Also depending on whether it's only for gaming or if you need much more processing power for other more CPU intensive aside from gaming i5 or i7?

Note: newer stuff 5th Gen Intel and X99 chipset mobo's and DDR4 all incredibly expensive.

I'll reccomend a system, do you need a monitor or simply the 'PC' ?

Also do you need headroom for upgrading to a 2nd GFX card - and do you prefer nvidia or AMD?

The Kasafist · Jan 16, 2015

The case holds the most personality how about letting us know what case floats your boat then we can pick the stuff for you to put into it! I personally don't like selecting cases for others because I feel that's where most of the personal style comes from.

I need it only for gaming,and yes im intrested in next gen DDR4 i7 possibly
Core i7-5930K

Jonathan Cave :

Nvidia all the way,i think AMD is not doing a good job last 2 years so..

Jonathan Cave · Jan 16, 2015

There is absolutely no benefit in an i7 for gaming. ~1-2 FPS max. Buy an i5 CPU and DDR3 memory, DDR4 memory is too expensive for what it is, you would have to forgo a better GPU etc... if you want DDR4

Ok this makes things difficult since new gen parts are incredibly overpriced so I must ask are you sure? Just an FYI there is no real performance improvement for new gen parts right now!

I really dont know,thats why i need the best solution for this budget,i mean i dont really care if its ddr4 or ddr3,i know both are good for next gen gaming..

This build is ~$40 over budget but you could swap the case for the style/benefits/price you want. I'm a real advocate of the R5 case as i personally dislike flashy gimmicky cases. i'd rather invest in the horsepower of a PC, as srado said its personal choice.

Fastest singe GPU card in the world, and its the best for overclocking. You have room for a 2nd GTX 980 for SLI with the motherboard and PSU combo. The CPU should overclock to 4.2Ghz - 4.4 Ghz on this HSF safely.

Option 2: Go for the GTX 970 and invest the money into a 2nd SSD as a dedicated gaming install drive.

Hope this helps.
