is this pc build good for the latest games?

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

Hey bros,so i'm going to upgrade my pc next month and i just want to know if this pc is good or not and to know if there's something incompatible...so here's the specs
Cpu:intel i7 4790k
Cpu cooler:cm hyper 103
Gpu:msi geforce gtx 980 gaming 4g
Ram:16gb kingston hyper x fury 1600mhz(8×2)
Mobo:gigabyte z97x ud5h bk
Psu:cm v750 gold
Case:cm storm trooper
So is everything fully compatible?is this pc good?plz rate this pc out of 10 and tell me why...this pc is for heavy gaming only and i'm not going to OVERCLOCK NW maybe in the future then i'm going to change my cpu cooler...i want to play all the games at max settings on a 1080p 60hz monitor @60fps for the next 3 years atleast is that possible?if not then how much fps at max settings?and if the game runs well i'm going to use DSR...
Thx in advance bros

I would change CPU for i5 4690K, you wont gain any performance in gaming with i7 CPU

Everything else is fine and compatible

If you aren't going to overclock at all, save some cash by goinging Xeon E3-1231 V3 and an H97 board.

Otherwise, is there any particular reason you are going with the 4790k over the 4690K?

I'd swap out your power supply for a brand I trust more than Cooler Master like XFX or EVGA.

PSU he picked is very good quality made by Seasonic

If the OP switched to a Xeon or locked cpu like the i5-4590 (both will be better for price/performance for gaming) then using the savings off those then to get the 980ti 6gb instead of the 980 since theres no H97 MB that support SLI. Plus a single powerful GPU is always better then 2 lesser cards in SLI, less heat, less power usage, and less driver/game issues. And for 1080P gaming that gpu will last quite a long time. Also they could get a smaller PSU as well.

utgotye :

well i'm going to overclock but not nw...the reason i got the 4790k over the i5 is that i want it to stay with me for a longer timer...it's more future proof i think...and for the upcoming pascale in 2016 i want something to be good enough for this gpu and the psu is a tier 2 so it's very good

WildCard999 :

This.

I'll take your word for it on the PSU. I have had an insanely horrible experience with Cooler Master customer service and them being slow (at best) in responding to messages, RMA and parts requests...etc. I finally got my water cooler back a week ago after 2.5 months.

If you dont want to OC it will be the same if you get XEON E3 1231 v3 (its a locked i7 4790 without IGPU) but i7, XEON and i5 will last same amount of time in gaming if you dont want to OC the difference between i5 and Xeon or i7 is tha XEON and i7 have more threads which would help if you will be doing video editing or recording/streaming gameplay

And CM V series PSUs are Tier 1 not 2. So even better

WildCard999 :

Eh.. if you're gaming 1080p a 980 Ti is a complete waste of money. Even a 980 is arguably overkill if you're being budget conscious. 980 Ti may be a good idea if he's going to pick up an oculus or something in the spring, though. If it were me for 1080p I'd just grab a 970 for ~$300, then pounce on a Pascal card in 2016, which will be 10x faster for all the future proofing you could ever want.

WildCard999 · Jun 23, 2015

The only thing the Xeon lacks is a iGPU, which is actually good since you have a dedicated GPU (980 or 980ti) and because of that it will run much cooler due to less power usage. DX12 should help programs utilize HT more effectively but well see when official benchmarks are released.

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

If he want to play all game maxed out on 1080p, fou couple of years he needs to get GTX 980 or GTX 980TI

Here you can see that average FPS with GTX 980 is belowe 60 (ULTRA and 1080p monitor)

WildCard999 :

well since i'm going to play on a 1080p 60hz monitor the the gtx 980 is already an overkill so the gtx 980ti is pointless...and since i'm going to upgrade after 3 years anyway so the gtx 980 is better for me....what i want to know is can i reach 60fps on all the games on max settings for the next 3 years?if not then how much fps?

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

Its hard to say we dont know what will be the hardware requirements for the games in next 3 years. But you should get above 50fps or atleast above 45 for the next 3 years on all games maxed out

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

atheus :

well i'm going to get the oculus that's coming out at Q1 2016 but i saw the recommended requierements for the oculus my pc is fully compatible and it's better than the recommended right?so the gtx 980ti is still pointless...they said gtx 970 or better...and the gtx 980 is better right?and anyway i'm going to swap for the pascale...but this pc i'm going to get is fully compatible with the rift right?will it encounter any issues with it?
sry 4 bad english

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

Your PC will work without any problems, everything is fine.

atheus · Jun 23, 2015

Gasser243 :

Agreed on Ti being overkill for 1080p. What I'm saying is that the 970 has 85% of the performance of the 980 for 65% of the price. You could save a few hundred bucks now picking up a 970, then grab a pascal GPU next year and really be future proof. Pascal is going to throw a real wrench in the works for people trying to make a 3 year plan right now. Check it out: http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-gpu-gtc-2015/

10x performance means everything you see today is instantly obsolete, and game designers have a totally different target for system performance. It's worth thinking about.

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

turbopiki :

i would accept above 40 so my minimum fps is 40...so it's possible to get 40+ for the next 3+years maxed out right?

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

turbopiki :

even if i got the oculus?is everything compatible with it?will i encounter any problems?

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

Yes you should get above 40fps in maxed out games with this setup no problem

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

atheus :

you're right...but what if the pascale was way overpriced?10xbetter then that's must be something way more expensive than the titan x itself or the titan z right?i don't think nividia is making something this awesome and it's going to sell it cheap right?i mean i'm expecting the price to be 1000$+ or what do u think?anyway even if i got the gtx 980 i will do my best to get this pascale but i don't think i'm going to get it at the launch date...

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

turbopiki :

ok but is this setup fully compatible with the new upcoming oculus rift?will i encounter any issues or frame drops?

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

There will be ag affordable GPU. Most people buy GPU around 200-350$ if all pascale GPU would cost 1000$+ they would go out of business because not may people ac afford 1000$+ GPUS

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

yes GTX 980 is more than enoug for oculus rift and no you wont get frame drops

Gasser243 · Jun 23, 2015

turbopiki :

ok thx man but i want an answer to my question...can u plz rate this pc out of 10 and tell me why...

turbopiki · Jun 23, 2015

Lets say 8. It a great PC for at least next 3 years you should get 45+ FPS in every game.

I didnt rate it 10 becasue you coulde of gone for GTX 980TI SLI and get 60+fps in every game

But for your budget its 10/10

is this pc build good for the latest games?
