Hello everyone, this is my current build spec for my gaming PC. Every opinion and advice are appreciated. I am going to buy all the parts from Scan except for the monitor.
Asus Z97-PRO GAMER Intel Z97, S1150, DDR3, PCIe 3.0 (x16), Quad SLi, Quad CrossFireX, D-Sub (VGA)/ DVI-D / HDMI, ATX
4GB Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 GAMING, PCIe 3.0, 7000MHz GDDR5, GPU 1203MHz, Boost 1354MHz, Cores 1664, DP/HDMI/DVI-D/DVI-I
OR
4GB MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr 5, PCIe 3.0, 7010MHz GDDR5, GPU 1140MHz, Boost 1279MHz, Cores 1664, DP/HDMI/DVI/DVI-D
Intel Core i7 4790K, LGA 1150, Haswell, Quad Core, 4GHz Base, 4.4GHz Turbo, 1200MHz GPU, 84W, CPU, Retail
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance Blue DDR3 PC3-12800(1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.5V
1TB WD Blue WD10EZEX SATA III 6GB/s 7200rpm 64MB Cache 8ms OEM HDD
240GB SanDisk SSD PLUS, 2.5" SSD, SATA III - 6Gb/s, Read 520MB/s, Write 350MB/s 81K IOPs
600W Corsair Builder Series CX, Non Modular, 80 PLUS Bronze, 1x120mm Fan, ATX, PSU
Thermaltake Versa H23 Mid Tower Gaming Case with USB 3.0 All Black Interior 120mm Fan w/o PSU
Now is the question part, I have several questions regard to to this build:
1. I'm aiming for 1080p only, is the 970 enough for the next 3 years? Or maybe I should get 980?
2. Is the PSU enough for whole system? And what about the rail thing, I have no idea about that.
3. Can all the part fit in that Thermal case? I only use the case for 1 year (then go aboard) so is there any better case?
4. I still need a CPU air cooler ~ £30. any good one around?
5. Between the 2 cards above, which one is better?
Thanks for reading.
