I need help building a non oc gaming rig

Yurius · Mar 25, 2016

Hello, I need help building a new pc. I listed some parts I need and possible recommendations. I left out the GPU because I already have a Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce. Seasonic s12II 520w and the casing as I get it free around $45 usd max. I also don't need a motherboard with good audio as I wil be connecting this pc to a $900 usd home theater audio system. I currently have a budget of $530 for the parts I need. I don't really mind not having the option for OC but if my budget allows it then fine. If without any OC is there anyway to reduce the cost here? I don't have any idea building a microt atx set up if its going to be a no oc no sli set and I'm worried about overheating issues with a smaller pc. So I need 2 suggestions here. Either a no oc set cheaper than what I have listed or parts with a max budget of $530 with oc. I

If you're not overclocking there's absolutely no need to purchase a Hyper 212. You can use the stock fan and be fine. I also don't see a power supply listed. You can't use one that's built into a case because those are not good quality.

You're post is a little confusing. You want either a Non-SLI Non-overclockable Non-MicroATX build, or an at your budget build that is OCable?

I'm just confused as to why MicroATX came into play in here.

Yep forgot to list that as obtained as I already have one. both my Seasonic s12II 520w and Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce were from my previous computer and sold it to my bro. So a non K processor has a stock fan? Well I can remove that then. But I'm still looking for options for a Non OC build below the current listed parts or an OC build for the parts I need with a max of $530

I'm looking for 2 options here. Either a cheaper non oc non sli build and I thought I can get cheaper if I go mAtx or go for an OC Build instead.

That's just it though. You can drop the Hyper 212 evo and save $30 as you won't need it because you're not overclocking. But that's about it. It sounds like you need the other parts and you've put together something halfway decent already. I'd probably get a different motherboard but MB preference is a personal choice. You could get a 6600k and keep the hyper 212 evo and then it will be overclockable, and I don't think it'll go over that budget. So really, its just up to you man.

Here is one that's cheaper without OCing.

Here is one that is OC capable and under your budget.

Really it's up to you.

Danger_Noodle :

Wow thanks, I'll go with this instead. I was thinking of getting a 4690k instead but this works for me.

Yurius :

Don't get me wrong, the 4690k is a great chip. I have a 4790k in my personal rig, but I'd say absolutely don't buy it. Because it's upgrade path has ended. I wouldn't recommend anybody building now to build a non DDR4 rig if possible.
