Hey all,
Been building PC's for a long time and much to my dismay, it's been a good 3 years *past* when I should have upgraded (current rig started as an E6600 Conroe and 8800GTX, got some hand me downs and is now a Q7xxxx series and GTX2xx). Still runing Vista 64 (don't beat me!)
To that end, I'm planning to keep my Keyb/Mouse/Monitor, but essentially need a whole new rig. The only thing I'm porting over will be a secondary 1 TB WD Drive I have for use as a mass storage drive.
Here is my current plan:
PCPartPicker part list /
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($174.55 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($100.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Kingston Fury White Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($104.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card ($204.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($103.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($88.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - 64-bit (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ OutletPC)
Total: $938.46
I'm trying to keep it under $1,000 and this seems to make good concessions while keeping quality parts.
I'd like to try to stay with the B&W theme, so while I understand the MSI Board is neither the best, nor necessary as I'm getting a 4460, it's aesthetically pleasing to me and I'd like to keep it.
Questions: Thoughts on the build?
Will a 650w be sufficient to drive SLI GTX 960s if I could score a second one down the road on clearance?
Thanks
