New PC build (PSU,RAM Help) Could use other tips aswell

nolcek · Jul 22, 2015

Hello, I'm saving money for a new PC and I planed out a build but I wanted to make sure about some things so I'm turning to you guys. I want to know is the build good? Should I change things? what should I watch out for? And any other tips are welcome. Thanks!

The Build:

Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Hero ATX LGA 1150
CPU: Intel i7 4790K Quad Core 4.0Ghz LGA 1150
GPU: Gigabyte GF GTX970 G1 GAMING 4GB
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 (Or should I take 2 x 8GB)?
PSU: SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (Should I get a PSU with even more Watts or)?
Storage: I'm thinking of either getting a Samsung 850 EVO 120GB (Windows and important games,programs) and a Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB (other less important games) or Samsung 850 EVO 120GB (Windows,important games,programs) and Samsung 850 EVO 1TB (less important games)?
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14

Accessories:

Monitor: LG 24GM77 144Hz 24"
Mouse: Roccat Kone XTD Wired Laser Mouse
Keyboard: Roccat Ryos MK Pro Wired Gaming Keyboard
Headset: I'm thinking either Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma or Roccat Kave XTD 5.1 Digital (The cup depth matters to me the most)
Mousepad: I need a good,large mousepad; suggestions are more then welcome

Thanks!

The SeaSonic 620W is fine for your build.
If really need fast read and write speed for your storage device then you could go the 1TB SSD route. For a gaming pc, the 1TB WD Blue is sufficient for most games.
If you gonna install a couple large sized games such as GTA V you may want a bigger size than 120GB.

Well I still don't have enough money for the build but I don't have a problem with saving up a bit more money for a better build. I don't plan on getting GTA V but I plan on getting games like Wither 3, Batman Arkham Knight etc. and when I pass them I will delete them because they will just use up space after I'm done with them. By Important games I meant online multiplayer games that I will play with my friends example: League of Legends, CS;GO,ARK,Garry's Mod. I also plan on getting CoD: BO3, Rainbow Six: Siege, The Division, Horizon: Zero Dawn and more, But I thought that I would put my 10 Favourite games on the 120GB disk and everything else on the 1TB.

ok that's fine, but remember 120gig isn't 120gig. It is about 110gig after the OS is on it and the list goes on till you are left with about 80gig at least for me. I went with a tb ssd (a bit of overkill) but I still have 45% free and SSD runs best with about 15% of storage open.
