ArkFan192 · Jul 9, 2016

Hello, I have these parts for a computer:

Motherboard MSI H97M-E35 | 1 | 79,90 €
Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3-1600MHz 8GB (HX316C10F/8) | 1 | 39,90 €
SSD - Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB (SV300S37A/120G) | 1 | 49,90 €
External Disc - Toshiba 500GB 2.5" SATA III (MQ01ABD050) | 1 | 41,91 €
PW Source - Corsair VS550W (CP-9020097-EU) | 1 | 58,90 €
Case - Nox Hummer ZX Zero Edition Branca (NXHUMMERZXZ) | 1 | 57,90 €
Monitor (2x) - Asus LED 24" VG248QE 144Hz 3D + Samsung SyncMaster 923nw

I have 2 monitors because i will use this computer for:

Streaming Recording Play a lot of (ARK|CS GO| Overwatch| League of Legends|+ any other game that i feel like playing)

So for that i'm thinking of going with a 1080 GTX for the pc but i do not posess the knowledge to understand if all these parts together will function correctly and i still need a CPU but I dont know what to use... I do not posess a huge budget so if it can be lower than 300 euros would be awesome...

Although I was thinking of going with an i7-4790k but i really don't know if all these parts together will work.

Please help me! Thank you!

What is your budget, what country are you sourcing parts from, and what do you mean by 'External disc', and do you 100% want that case?

ArkFan192 · Jul 9, 2016

ohh sry i meant hard drive not external disc.. sorry, i'm from portugal and some of the parts are coming from amazon and others from other cheap stores, i dont need 100% dat case because i do not know if it will all fit in that

ArkFan192 :

What's your max budget and what price would you prefer to stick around?

ArkFan192 · Jul 9, 2016

i think my max budget can go up to 300-400 euros i can't really do more than that

for me the more i save on the wallet the better but i want quality too.

Chugalug_ · Jul 9, 2016

ArkFan192 :

Wait wait wait wait, do you HAVE the parts you've listed?
Because there's no way you're going to build a good level gaming PC with 300-400 euros.
What parts do you want to buy with that money? Just CPU and GPU?

ArkFan192 · Jul 10, 2016

Chugalug_ :

i do not own any of the parts yet, i have the money for them but i wanna know for sure what to buy before i do it.

i would like to do a good computer with those and i just thought that a GTX 1080 + an i7-4790k would be a nice computer

what can you sugest me?

Chugalug_ · Jul 10, 2016

ArkFan192 :

You still haven't given me a concrete budget.
What is your overall budget for all of the parts you want including the motherboard etc. and CPU/GPU.
It is better to go with the newer Skylake architecture for its better power efficiency and performance for a similar price.
Will you be overclocking?

What are you saying?
Those monitors are at least 350 euros each, hell, 500 won't even buy you a 1080....let alone a PC.
Your TOTAL budget please.

ArkFan192 · Jul 10, 2016

total budget i can go ATM 1000 euros, i can go a little further but i will have to work for a few more months to pay extra..

ArkFan192 · Jul 10, 2016

although i do posess already 700 dollars for the 1080 GTX so that is already covered

Chugalug_ · Jul 10, 2016

ArkFan192 :

So in short 1000 Euros for everything but the 1080. Okay thanks.
Be a bit more clear next time!

As previously asked, are you overclocking or not?

Chugalug_ · Jul 10, 2016

Here you go.
If you want to cut back on costs, feel free to remove the AIO cooler and get something like the Cryorig H7/H5 or the Be Quiet Dark Rock 2/3 if you want something beefier on a budget.
I figured you'd need more than 500GB of HDD space since games take up a tonne of space nowadays, not to mention software!

The 6700k is actually $20 cheaper than the 4790k despite offering 10-15% better performance, so thats a plus!

i think i wont overclock i dont really see much need on doing it. sry if i wasnt clear but i'm a bit nervous about these things that concern money :/

Chugalug_ · Jul 10, 2016

ArkFan192 :

That's okay, that can be fixed easily.
I've paid $20 extra to get a better looking motherboard, but if you feel that you're fine with looks and just want performance, get this instead.https://es.pcpartpicker.com/product/qjp323/asus-motherboard-h170pro

Oops, forgot to change cooler, disregard that for a second.

Chugalug_ · Jul 10, 2016

Note that even though you're not overclocking i've gone for the k variant of the processor.
This is because it offers 0.6GHz extra speed out of the box, meaning that you essentially get a 20% increase in clock speed for a little bit extra, which is very useful especially in your case with rendering, streaming and playing games.
Here is your final build.
