ben001 · Oct 4, 2015

This build is just fine for 1080p gaming.

Advice: Get a good air cooler for stable performance.

Zodiac258 · Oct 4, 2015

I do I already have a cooler master 212 plus

Zodiac258 · Oct 4, 2015

Is there anything I can do tho to increase it's performance my budget is $1650.

I agree with these parts but I've read reviews on asrock mobo and they seem unreliable.

ben001 · Oct 4, 2015

Can you send me that link?. Still, you shouldn't have to be worry about it or you replace it to ASRock H97M PRO4/ H97 PRO4.

Zodiac258 · Oct 4, 2015

It wasn't on this board tho and the only bad thing Ive read is the sound quality but that won't be a problem with a head set

Zodiac258 · Oct 4, 2015

The mobo and video card arn't compatible did you know that?

ben001 · Oct 4, 2015

Zodiac258 :

The only thing i care is that about the heat sink. The H97 PRO4 have better heat sink than the anniversary edition and i know that is the only problem people hesitate to get it otherwise the board is pretty decent on such amount.

Zodiac258 · Oct 4, 2015

Yes but the mobo and video card is not compatible.

ben001 · Oct 4, 2015

All modern motherboards can handle gtx 980 Ti as long they have PCI-E x16 gen 2.0/3.0 slot.

Zodiac258 · Oct 4, 2015

What I'm seeing is that the motherboard doesn't support sli

ben001 · Oct 4, 2015

Yes, you don't need to sli unless you're going to run dual display's. For a single card, you will get enough performance even in a 4K monitor with that card.

Best of luck for your build .

Grab the Intel I5 4690k (Devil's Canyon) and the Asus z97-a motherboard and a swiftech liquid cooler for cpu so you can over clock as needed then a gtx 980 and you should be under 1600 and good to go.

Zodiac258 · Oct 6, 2015

I'm not planing to over lock

Zodiac258 · Oct 7, 2015

I'll be using this pc for mostly league of legends, Starcraft, elite dangerous, and fallout 4 which comes out nov 10.
