Alexis911 · Jan 23, 2015

Hi!

This is my custom build on https://www.cyberpowerpc.com. I would like to confime that this is a good build or not. Is there any part that are too much or not enought? Is it over priced? Main use will be gaming! (I already own a SSD so I just got a 4TB hard drive)

Thanks for your help!

very over priced, x99 is unnecessary. drop it to z97

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

1 Radeon R9 290x??? For $2k you should have dual GTX 980's at least, so here it is - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kPmpRB

funnyfoot1 :

with that budget put in an ssd int he build. get a better PSU and go for a single 980 (unless this is a 4k build, then go for 2x gtx 970)

Alexis911 · Jan 23, 2015

tsuneo6 :

Here is the modification you suggested in the list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bhPW6h, Any suggestion for a CPU cooler (the less noisy the better) and the power supply? I already onw a SSD that i will transfer on this computer.

Sorry I'm not an expert on computer build its my first time ..!

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

tsuneo6 :

First he said he already has an SSD, but after that the only thing I can say it, How fun would it be to have 2 GTX 980's? Pretty dang fun.

tsuneo6 · Jan 23, 2015

funnyfoot1 :

oh damn I didnt read that!
and true that, I wouldnt complain^^ . but I still dont trust that PSU for an SLI setup of 2 980's!

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

That is a great power supply, and here is a CPU cooler - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-cpu-cooler-h100i

Yeah, I forgot to upgrade that to 850W because I originally only had 1 980 on that build.

tsuneo6 · Jan 23, 2015

Alexis911 :

well the powersupply isnt a bad one. but for that money you can get much better quality power supplies. such as this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

Alexis911 · Jan 23, 2015

Here would be what you guys suggest so far : http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Alexis911/saved/h4zWGX right?

620 watts for a GTX 980 and an i7 4760K? What have you been smoking?

tsuneo6 · Jan 23, 2015

^go check up on the power usage

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

Alexis911 :

Yes, although the you should remove the 2 case fans, those were for the dual GTX 980's. You do know that you will have to assemble that PC yourself, right?

Alexis911 · Jan 23, 2015

funnyfoot1 :

Yeah

Got a few friend that can help with that.

What I just realize it that I live in Canada and the cost is around 2k for that build here (in my budget) http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Alexis911/saved/h4zWGX

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

Perfect! I actually plan on buying that myself! Good luck on it and thank me for picking out such a shmexy case xD

J_E_D_70 · Jan 23, 2015

Why the 4TB hdd for a gaming pc? A 250gb ssd is plenty for most, a 500gb ssd has plenty of room to grow and half the price of that ancient technology.

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

J_E_D_70 :

He already has an SSD, and I guess he just wants extra space for upgrading, nothing wrong with that.

tsuneo6 · Jan 23, 2015

please do change the PSU already :/

funnyfoot1 · Jan 23, 2015

tsuneo6 :

\
There is no need to downgrade. The PSU I recommended is high quality, and has room for future upgrades.

tsuneo6 · Jan 23, 2015

appart from the fact the cx series arent high quality.
and the fact that that system can run on a 500-550 watt PSU

J_E_D_70 · Jan 23, 2015

I get that... But theres no point wasting a ton of money on a hdd. If this is a general use pc that will store a horde of pics, music, and ripped movies then I can see it as long as theres an external hdd of similar size in the budget to back it up.

Just trying to apply logic in the expenditure of money.

tsuneo6 · Jan 23, 2015

games nowadays do require alot of space tough (36 gigs dragonage, 26gigs BF4,50 gigs wolfen the new order,etc) my 1TB disk is gonna need a brother soon!

Alexis911 · Jan 23, 2015

I watch a tons of tv show and movie, store a tons of video and pictures also. That is why i want the 4 tb.

Need someone to look over my gaming pc before I order!
