Hey everyone!
Recently started making a gaming build , and i need your help to finalize it and make sure that i chose everything right.
So here it goes. I am looking for a high end pc build , that means that every game and everything on the computer must run perfectly.
I have come up with this build , but i am unsure about what parts to pick and which ones are better:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid
Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z87 ATX LGA1150
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
Storage: Corsair Force Series GS 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB classified
Sound card: Asus Xonar Essence STX 24-bit 192 KHz
Case: Corsair 900D ATX Full Tower(a beast of a case which i will never change , i absolutely love it!)
PSU: Corsair 1200W 80 PLUS Platinum Certified ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical drive: Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
Monitor: Asus PA248Q 24.1"
Here are my doubts and questions:
1) The motherboard : I read MANY reviews about this sabertooth and it seems amazing , but i am also looking at a Gigabyte Z87X-OC and i am unsure what to pick! so...which one ?
2)The video card: I plan on going 2 way sli in the future when i acquire more money(and maybe 3 way in the distant future)! I was first looking at an EVGA Geforce GTX 770 4GB Classified because it was just a bit more weak but better for the price. Is it worth spending the extra for the 780 evga classified ?
3)The CPU: i firstly put my eyes on the Intel Core i7-3770K , but then i saw the Intel Core i5-4670K for about the same performance and cheaper , except some hyper threading and other futures that did not benefit gaming. Is it worth paying a bit more extra though for the i7?
4) CPU cooler: Is what i chose enough ? i plan on overclocking the cpu of course, and i know nothing about the cpu coolers.
PC Accessories :here is where i am really confused ...i plan on going for water cooling maybe in the distant future but it seems that this rig doesn't really need more than airflow , and considering the case and the amount of fans i can put there , it seems like the choice to go...therefore i need your advice on fans! The case comes with 4 fans : 3x120 mm in the front and 1x140mm in the back...and now i am left with top(4x 120 mm or 3x 140 mm) , bottom(4x 120 mm or 3x 140 mm) and side (2x 140 mm or 2x 120 mm ).
I am not really good at picking fans , as i do not know which are better . I hear that the 140 are more quiet since they are big , but the smaller ones in most situations deliver the most air flow. I settled on Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm Fans (x4 of them) , but i am not at all sure if this is right. Should i go with the 140s , or can you suggest BETTER 120s that deliver great air flow while keeping it silent?
One last question: What else do i need ? anything extra ? i thought about a fan controller( i plan on installing it in the front panel of the case in one of the optical drive spaces) and an 8 Way PWM Splitter. Anything that i forgot about ?
I also need your opinion on the complete rig. How do you think it is ? I ended up on $2886.14 on pcpartpicker (the link to the rig : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1vZUf ) , but unfortunately that site seems to be getting all the components from the US , where they are MUCH cheaper. I live in Romania and i did the same rig here for way over 3k... anyone here that can recommend me some stores near Romania that deliver at a cheap price and the shipping doesn't cost a liver ?
Thank you for having patience and reading all this! Please correct any mistakes i have made , i am not a pro in this domain .
