Custom PC Build Check

Mayro · Nov 23, 2015

Hey people,
I’m still learning the basic about building a custom pc, I want to build a pc can support games like fallout 4. I’ve done some researching and would like to know if there’s something incompatible or too much for such games (I’m kind in a budget), here’s my build so far:

Processor: Processor Intel Core i5-3330
Motherboard: MSI ATX Intel Inside Core Z97-G45
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 750 TI 2Gb DDR5 128 bit ZT-70605-10M
PSU: CX-500W
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 4Gb DDR4
HD: HD WD !T SATA 7200 RPM blue edition
Case: Cougar Micro ATX USB 3.0 MX200
Cooler: CoolerMaster Sickleflow 12cm R4-SXDP-20FR-R1
Optical Drive: Drive LG SATA GH24NSC0

Sorry for any english mistakes, not my main language. Any thought’s, suggestions, comments are much appreciated^^
Thanks!!

this will run fallout4 prob on med-high settings i would guess

to check for compatibility, go to pcpartpicker.com, put your parts into a build list and the site will tell you if your build is compatible

Mayro :

A 2Gb video card is gonna run Fallout in medium/high settings at around 30-40fps. However, 4Gb of RAM looks daunting to me. My laptop that has 16Gb RAM, i7-4700HQ and a geforce gtx 770(2Gb) only runs Fallout in 30fps on high settings, so I can't imagine your build will do much better.

i don't think ddr4 ram is compatatible with that motherboard btw
and im pretty sure your cpu and motherboard are also not compatible

The easiest way to check compatibility is through https://pcpartpicker.com/

That said, no, your build has some problems.

CPU and Motherboard: You picked out an Ivy Bridge CPU (LGA 1155) with a Haswell Motherboard (LGA 1150). Those parts are not compatible. You need to pick one and go with the corresponding part. If you're going for a budget build, look at Haswell (LGA 1150) parts. Unless you want to go with the newest tech, in which case you'd want a Skylake (LGA 1151) CPU and Motherboard.

GPU: Not bad for entry if budget doesn't allow you to move up to the 900 series cards. Lower power requirements and should do Med-High settings.

PSU: Assuming you mean Corsair CX-500? If so, avoid it. Its a crap PSU. Check out this forum posting for a good list of PSU's to look at. Its an incredibly important part of your build so don't go with a low tier unit. EVGA G2/GS series are good and, depending on country, pretty inexpensive.

RAM: Wrong version. DDR4 is for Skylake (LGA 1151) or Haswell-E (LGA 2011-3). If you're doing Haswell you want a DDR3 setup. When you do pick out RAM, go for 8GB (2x4GB sticks) if you can. 4GB total is not going to make you happy.

HD: WD Blues are decent drives. If you want a bit more speed, you could go with an SSD like a Samsung 850 EVO as your boot drive and use the WD Blue as a data drive. But obviously that increases the price of the build.

Case: Should be just fine for a budget build.

Cooler: I'm assuming that's for putting on the side of the case for cooling? It should do fine for that purpose. Keep in mind you already have a front mounted fan and a rear mounted fan preinstalled in your case, so you wont need one for those mounts.

Optical Drive: Should be fine.

for that motherboard you need an i*-4*** cpu (i would personally recommend the i5-4460), or if you want to keep the processor u need to change the motherboard to a chipset for ivy bridge
and u need to change your ram to DDR3

Good catch on the DDR4!
