What do you guys think about my future PC build ?

Beezman · Jul 30, 2015

I think about buying a new PC:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K (1150, 3.5GHz, 6MB)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97-HD3 (1150/H97/DDR3)
GPU: Asus GTX 970 Strix 4GB DDR5
RAM: HyperX FURY Blue 8GB (2x4GB), 1600 MHz
PSU: 750 W
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB

I will be using this for gaming, programming(mostly on java and c++) and maybe I will start learning to video edit. What do you think about the processor? Will the CPU bottleneck the video card? Is the PSU enough for this setup?

Which PSU ? Cheapest good quality PSU you can buy right now that is will power your system is EVGA B2 750w.

If you will do video editing in the future, i would change the CPU for Xeon E3 1231 v3 and motherboard for H97 chipset one

Will this CPU worsen the gaming experience (as i said it will be also used for gaming) ?

turbopiki · Jul 30, 2015

No you need to OC i5 4690K to reach gaming performance of Xeon E3 1231 v3, Xeon perfroms about thee same as i7 4770

turbopiki :

I think that you've changed my mind about the CPU. But why do i need to change the motherboard? Both processors have the same socket.

turbopiki · Jul 30, 2015

You dont need to is just a suggestion, Z97 chipset motherboard is meant for Overclocking and you cant OC the XEON so with H97 chipset motherboard you will save some money. So why buy motherboard for OC if you cant OC your CPU

turbopiki :

Can u suggest me a motherboard for this CPU ?

turbopiki · Jul 30, 2015

Didnt notice that you picked cheapest Z97 motherboard which is not great for OC, so with H97 you will save almost nothing.

turbopiki :

What will you say about Gigabyte H97-HD3 (1150/H97/DDR3) ?

turbopiki · Jul 30, 2015

Its a good board, but ASRock H97 perfromance its better

turbopiki :

Thank you very much I think that I'll buy the Xeon. It will better for work and great for gaming.

Beezman · Jul 30, 2015

turbopiki :

Can you suggest me more PSUs so i can choose one ?

turbopiki · Jul 30, 2015

For your system get 500w or more PSU, from Tier 1 or 2.

turbopiki :

Wouldn't it be better if i get a 700 - 750 W because of the graphics card ? Or a 600 W ?

Beezman · Jul 30, 2015

turbopiki :

What will you say about this configuration :

CPU: Intel XEON Quad Core E3-1231V3 /3.4GHz/ 8MB Cache/
Motherboard: ASRock H97 ANNIVERSARY
GPU: ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5
RAM: HyperX FURY Blue 8GB (2x4GB), 1600 MHz
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
PSU: CoolerMaster V650S, 80+ Gold, 650W

turbopiki · Jul 30, 2015

System with GTX 970 and i7 CPU (Xeon uses less power), needs a good quality 500w or more PSU.

so 500w is enough but you can get PSU with more wattage for future upgrades

This build looks great
