Is this build good? Does it fit in this case?

[Allavaz]

Hi, I'd like to build a PC like this:

I7 4790
ZOTAC GTX 780Ti OC
Samsung SSD 250GB
WD Green 2TB
2x8GB Gskill Sniper Gaming 1600MHz
PSU Thermaltake smart m750W
GA-H87N-WIFI
Coolermaster Master Hyper 212 EVO
RW Bluray LG

Will those components fit in a Bitfenix Prodigy? It's my first build.

if it is mid tower no problem.very high end build. dont get a gtx 780ti get a r9 290x for 200$ less with mantle it will have improvement over the gtx 780ti and is just as powerful. also get a 7200rpm hdd for faster backups and better speed. get a evga 750w supernova modular and gold also a tier 1 or 2 psu so good. get a z97 board for better performance.

i would change the power supply to something a little bit more stable, like a evga g2, xfx, or a seasonic s12ii.

 

[kunthakenthe]

the 4gb on the r9 290 will save you money from upgrading but the 3gb is also future proof aswell since games are using up to 3.6gb of vram now.(watch dogs unoptimized)

 

[sanhuy]

if you are going to get the z97 board get a unlocked processor

 

[kunthakenthe]

true but a z97 if he wants to sli in the future or buys a overclockable broadwell chip

 

[Allavaz]

But the GTX 780Ti has shadowplay, I like it!

Also I'm not going to overclock it

than just change you psu PLEASE.

 

[Allavaz]

Is that a bad psu? It's hard to get good ones in Argentina u.u

 

[kunthakenthe]

oh sorry didnt know then get a better type of gtx 780ti i know zotac has if for cheap but evga has step up program and is better than zotac you dont have to just a suggestion. The r9 290 has something similar to shadow play but its not exactly but thats not he point. the z97 will allow you upgrade for better performance and if you say by accident you bought a 5790k didnt notice the k but had a good cooler and could overclock you might aswell. also z97 mobo keep things cooler and are more stable with newer devil canyon chips. also get the evga supernova 750w,antec 750w ,corsair ax or hx 750w,etc thermalake makes cheap psu.

 

[Allavaz]

So it's better a EVGA GTX 780/770 than a ZOTAC GTX 780Ti OC?

 

[kunthakenthe]

i think a 780ti evga is great but zotac always has thiers for cheap. zotac amp version is not bad but not a top of the line cooler i think asus,msi will take that crown with sapphire

[Allavaz]

Is this good?

 

[kunthakenthe]

no dude dont down grade from a 780ti to a 770. The 780ti will whip the 770 behind. The zotac is still good enough if your not extremely overclocking the gpu. the 770 can not use 4gb of vram effectively so leave it alone

 

[Allavaz]

Then I should get the ZOTAC, as I'm not planning to overclock it, why would you overclock a high end video card?

 

[kunthakenthe]

well just for the best of the best performance such as 4k gaming with higher fps. so yes get the zotac

 

[Allavaz]

Alright, 4770k or 4790?

 

[kunthakenthe]

if your overclocking the 4790k would be better but a 4770k is also good if the 90k is 10$ more get it it will overclock well on a z97 board.

 

[Allavaz]

Nah I'm not planning to overclock anything

 

[kunthakenthe]

then 4790 is for you. why you dont want to overclock thats a benifit of having a pc

 

[Allavaz]

Why would I oc a high end processor?

 

[kunthakenthe]

well its really just to get the maximum performance out of a top end cpu. also it will help in the long run if you keep it for a extra period of time and dont upgrade. the z97 lets you upgrade to 5th gen chips which is why i recommended it

 

[Allavaz]

Is the CX600m a good PSU for this build?

 

[kunthakenthe]

the cx series is acceptable but not the best for gaming or having it on for long periods of time. i would recommend the ax or hx series or evga psu's with 10yr warranty. theres also antec which i good
