Do you guys feel that this is missing anything, or if any of the parts are inadequate - ultimately will this play the most recent games on high-ultra without any troubles?

its good but can be better

Supervanillaice · Apr 8, 2016

I personally have the I5 4690 and I wish I had picked up the 4690k now that I want to overclock, this may not apply to you but it's something to think about for future wise, doesn't cost too much extra for the k cpu.

Generally it's a good build, could be better in someways with maybe a modular 750W psu (Corsair CS 750m?)

Supervanillaice :

cpu: no its not worth the extra money the 4460 is a great cpu, only if its within the 10-15 dollar extra price range.

psu: are you crazy???????? that would a major downgrade

Supervanillaice · Apr 8, 2016

superninja12 :

Like I said with the CPU that's what I wish I had done just so I can get a little more juice out of it, wasn't a recommendation as such but just what I thought about mine, 4690 is a great cpu, does everything I need it to.

Psu: how would that be a major downgrade, you're getting an extra 100W, at 80 plus gold efficiency rather than bronze?

- Not trying to be a dick but I'm wanting to know if I'm missing something here in terms of the cs750m

superninja12 · Apr 8, 2016

Supervanillaice :

gold is just efficiency, and 100 more watts is just nothing more than 100 watts.
-that corsair lacks in build quality.
-the ripple voltage is high
- using bad polymore caps

dont ever go on with, but this is gold or has more watts.
this is a good example of quality comparison.
it doesnt matter the seasonic si bronze, its more reliable, more stable and better build quality.
