Will there be any problems?

Justiceinacan · Nov 24, 2016

It will work, but don't expect heavy overclocking.
Why the outdated CPU generation?

Tradesman1 · Nov 24, 2016

Overall should be fine, I won't build on MSI due to poor QC, especially on their lower end mobos

__BOSSY__ · Nov 24, 2016

I won't be over locking anytime soon! I have yet to learn! This is mostly for minecraft record and overwatch! Editing videos and gfx! I got the i7 4790k and the RAM together locally from a guy for only $300! I couldn't test it out but I really trust the guy!

Here is a cheaper build with much better power supply. A PSU on a great deal. The M9i is way better than the C7.

Question - why an 850 PSU, it's twice whats needed, even well over what SLI would call for????????

elbert · Nov 24, 2016

Basically its on a great deal. When the deal goes off its going to cost $30 more.

Tradesman1 · Nov 24, 2016

So you suggest going cheap on a mobo, because you overspending on a totally unneeded 'great deal' on a PSU - sorry makes no sense.

elbert · Nov 24, 2016

Its a good rated motherboard and around the price of the Z97. The Z170 is regualory a $90 board as its on sale also.

Tradesman1 · Nov 24, 2016

Ever thought that things on sale like this and offering a rebate, is because otherwise they aren't selling? And when it goes off this sale it will more than likely still be on sale for a few bucks more than now? Did you notice all the DOAs?

elbert · Nov 24, 2016

Its below 10% DOA and most motherboards are above 10%. I use 10% for my own parts and you can buy higher priced mobo's with %25. The OP and chugalugs is 18%.

Tradesman1 · Nov 24, 2016

Whatever floats your boat

Chugalug_ · Nov 24, 2016

Okay....pretty sure the Z97 Gaming 5 is much better board, as is the PC Mate, but that's your personal choice I guess.

elbert · Nov 24, 2016

The X97 gaming 5 is 19% and worse actually than the PC mate. None of the 3 are the greatest but all are reasonable for the price.

Tradesman1 · Nov 24, 2016

Again, sorry, but I've been building longer than even I care to remember, and I don't know of any reputable builder or systems folks that give much credence to NewEgg user reviews

Chugalug_ · Nov 24, 2016

Ditto, people don't go to review a product unless they have a problem with it really, I'm one of those people.
I've only ever posted reviews for stuff that either didn't work, wasn't good, or in one case something that was exceedingly good, in the FTW 1080.

elbert · Nov 24, 2016

I dont totally go by user reviews but it is a good tool to help make choices. Been doing so ever since newegg had an online site with user reviews. Couldn't when newegg was just a flyer I got in the mail but that was over 25 years ago. Just as chugalug points out a lot are legit making it not a total shot in the dark. So why not us the reviews? Its just like user rating on ebay. You dont want to buy from a low rated person.

Tradesman1 · Nov 24, 2016

To actually read the reviews you need to know hardware - looking at mobos I often see reviews with typical user mistakes they complain something doesn't work and you know it's the BIOS and they haven't updated - most don't - especially new builders, they complain it won't run the DRAM and it should (where the primary determing factor is the CPU not the mobo), i.e. 'Hey it won't run my 3000 DRAM and they have a 6100 CPU), so sure, if you want to read each review, and really know systems and hardware, it can be helpful, but few do, and even then there's still a lot of variable that play in you won't know. Same with DRAM itself, and other components

elbert · Nov 24, 2016

Yes but they all have there fair share of less knowledgable users. Even in that the more user friendly parts are part of every good product. On RAM if follows JEDEC spec it should work. Grant they should come to Tom's to get guided away from RAM the CPU cart use the higher speeds.

Tradesman1 · Nov 25, 2016

All DRAM has profiles for JEDEC specs, that doesn't mean higher end DRAM will work at advertised speed, even if the mobo supports the speed, the MC 9memory controller) in the CPU has to carry the data rate. We often see people telling users get 2400 DRAM for a CPU that will be lucky to carry 1866, which does nothing for the user but tick them off, they get 2400 they want it to run to 2400. And in a case like this with Z170 no there aren't a ton of knowledgeable builders that know Z170 which is where most reviews come from, newer builders

elbert · Nov 25, 2016

RAM wouldn't work even with JEDEC profiles. Some RAM like DDR2 required voltage beyond spec while motherboard wouldn't support the voltage. Now normally I agree as stated before suggesting speeds to high but price also comes into play. Most DDR3 1333 RAM for example costs more than 1600 because the 1600 is purchased more often. Pricing thus does also play into the rating. This is why new parts get a discount to get a good rating.

Think we've got off the OPes topic so I'm not going to reply any more unless he asks me something. Not that I don't like discussing this but this isn't the right place for this.
