Also why are you going with an h81 board with the 4690k? The h81 chipset can't overclock. You have to get a z97 board for that.
This build will be much better

H97 motherboard with a "k" Cpu? Was that done intentionally?

goobydabest · Feb 24, 2015

Hey would that build perform better then the one I linked? I will be doing a lot of gaming on it.

Dark Lord of Tech · Feb 24, 2015

The K is only a dollar more , so I left it.

ykki · Feb 24, 2015

goobydabest :

Mine will perform better because of the better gpu plus it has better overclocking headroom courtesy of the antec psu (made by seasonic btw).
It has a better mobo and dual channel RAM.

So, yeah it will perform better.

Swordkd · Feb 25, 2015

Honestly, SR-71's would perform slightly better for less money. Better Cpu, it's a tie on motherboards and Ram. Psu's don't make any difference in either build, but I like 71's case slightly more.

Swordkd :

Did you factor in the gpu? 280x better than 280. Also that build is $724 without rebates. The 4690k is obviously a better cpu but it will perform similarly to the 4460 because the are bottle-necked by the gpu. The spec 03 is a better case but it has no impact on the performance.

Swordkd · Feb 25, 2015

Wasn't even paying attention to the video cards. Just saw 280 and went from there. So yeah, better performance with the 280x over the 280. HOWever, I would pay the extra 6 dollars for the Spec 03 case. Nicer options, and while it doesn't impact performance, it'll just plain end up being easier to work with, which is worth quite a bit in my opinion.
