Rylan360 · Aug 27, 2016

Looking to build a pc for rust, i have roughly a $2000 budget and I need a monitor (144hz) and ill need win10.

This is what i was thinking, Is this a good way to go?

I think you'd be better served by spending less on the CPU and overclocking and more on the GPU:

Thanks any reason for the change of case?

Slightly better build quality. Comes with a 3 fans from the factory. Looks better (my opinion). But if you prefer the Tesseract then by all means go for it.

With his build do you have some money to spare so even a more expensive option would be possible,like,

just to give an option.

Been messing around with a few things. this is slight over $2000 but has an i7. Not sure if if worth it or not.

Also would this build be ok to OC to around 4.0ghz?

Which cpu depends on what you want to have it for. Most games are still fine with an i5,some make use of the extra threads an i7 has,but really only few and i cannot say if that nr. will grow.If you want to stream for instance is an i7 also welcome.

Can't see why you change motherboards,the B150 will have about the same features as an H170 (only things like raid not but only few who use that when having an ssd) and is imo better looking and has the better soundchip.It's also atx so will give a better look with a window in the case.

A build with some changes again,closer to the $2000,

i used an i5 again.
I added a nice cooler which imo is a bonus.There are decent cheaper coolers like this one,
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/JP648d/deepcool-cpu-cooler-gammaxxs40
but these have a blue fan,doesn't go well with the red in the build,but that's me. For the price of this cooler can you also almost add a 1tb hdd so maybe something to think about.
i changed case because the one you chose just looks hidious ,but that's my opinion.

if you still like your choice better go for it.
i also chose the Samsung 750 evo over the 850,about as quick and not the same warranty period,but also cheaper,again it's up to you what to pick,just like the case (or whatever you want anyway).

For an OC build would i look at something with a "Z" board (you really need that) like the next build,

Has some money to spare looking at your build and if you want to spend that much maybe choose a different psu.
Look at some reviews about the cpu cooler i chose,it's a pretty good cooler for that price and at least as good as the 212 EVO.

Didn't mean to change the motherboards, they are something I really have no idea about. One question am I able to buy a usb copy of windows 10 or download from windows? Because i don't plan to put a optical drive in.

Vic 40 · Sep 8, 2016

Rylan360 :

It's alright to do so,i just give my reasons why i would pick the B150 board.

Rylan360 :

You should be able to buy windows on an usb stick,they are available.If not is downloadding a copy and buying a key with it also an option,then make your own usb stick.
