What about these product,
Intel core i5 4690 or 4460 (which one is better for gaming, difference 3.5k)
Asus Intel B85M-GAMER Motherboard
Kingston FURY Memory - 8GB Module - DDR3 1600MHz CL10 DIMM
Seasonic SSR-650RT S12G Series 650W Power Supply
WD 1TB Blue Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
Gtx 970 graphic card (tell me one)
Now in this parts can I play witcher 3, ultimate mortal combat x, batman arkham night city like games in ultra settings and smoothly(without lagging). if i you think that i need to change mobo or psu kindly tell me your preffered model.
I would guess that with dx12 on its way the 4460 will hold out for 4-5 yrs maybe . My old i5 2500 is still good for gaming ( and its 5 years old) and even the old core 2 duo e 7500 will handle most 2013/2014 games pretty well
If you want to have your pc for say, 6-7 then opt for the 4690
The B85 is quite decent , although "gaming" is quite misleading . Its a business board with priorities on low end voltage control and with emphasis on Media . Mobo,s in general donot affect the PCs performance.
If you need to save cash, go for a h81 mobo , itll be quite fine unless you plan on overclocking or SLI
The ram is quite fine , although personally i would opt for the 1866 with cas 9 , this one seems pretty good too. Remember , RAM frequency and CAS has very little effect on the games performance
The gtx 970 has a better alternative - the r9 390 , which is slightly better . And yes , the 970 can handle ultra settings .( but nvidia has a bad rep of gimping its older carde - ie . when the next gen cards are released , most likely nvidia will reduce the performance of the 970 via drivers , thus ensnaring you into updating your gpu)
For gtx 970 - 550W is good ( although , dont go in for corsair CX CS series) , the 390 - 600 W is quite fine.
As for the brand of the gpu , if you are tight , opt for the cheapest . Quite similar performance , and you can manually OC it if you need the extra "ooomph" .
Anyway , if budget isnt a constraint
