My first try putting together a computer need help if it's any good

Dreamotion · Jan 22, 2016

These are the parts i picked together

Processor: Intel Core i5 4440 3.1 GHz LGA1150

Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL10

GPU: Asus STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5 GeForce GTX 960 O.C. 4096 Mt

Motherboard: MSI H97 GAMING 3 Intel H97 LGA 1150 ATX

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 64 MB 7200 RPM 3.5"

Case: NZXT S340 Mid Tower ATX

Hard drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST/BLK/G/AS 24x DVD+/-RW

Power supply: Corsair CX600W V2 CX-series 600 W ATX

Average price on this will end up on 900€

Ideally i would like to be able to play newer games/upcoming games with medium-high settings.

Change that PSU out for a EVGA G2 or GS or a good Seasonic/XFX unit. CX psu's are very bad for gaming.

For just over 900 EUR you can have this build, which includes an SSD and a far better GPU and PSU:

I've used German retailers purely for cost purposes, so prices may be slightly different in your country.

Super Flower SF-550P14XE (HX), Antec HCG-520, XFX P1-550S-XXB9, SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze, Enermax ETL550AWT-M are all good options for your build.

Also, try using PC part picker, it's a website that lists the parts and checks for compatibility issues, we have a plugin for it that allows it to post a good looking list that you copy and paste into threads.

But, that's a sexy build my friend

Is it fine if you cut out the SSD did some research on SSD's and seems like the only thing it really does is boot up os faster if you put in on the SSD wich i don't care much for. And how much better is the gtx 970 compared to the 960 since the price diffrence is quite big?

bicycle_repair_man · Jan 22, 2016

I would encourage you to get an SSD. Yes, the PC boots faster, but it also makes navigating the OS and installed programs much faster, as well as helping to reduce the time taken for file transfers, disk scanning and any other tasks that use the OS installation drive, of which there are plenty.

You can see benchmarks for the GTX 960 and 970 below.

You go up a full tier in gaming settings. High settings w/ gtx960 will usually be ULTRA settings w/ gtx970.

I can't recommend that. The motherboard is an older chipset and the R9 390 doesn't offer more than the GTX 970. They'll trade blows from game to game, but the 970 offers the same performance whilst remaining much cooler and quieter.

Threw this together and ended up being close to 1100 EUR.

That works for me. You could downgrade the PSU to the 550W version and still be fine as well.
