Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
Hey guys i'm building a PC and it's my first time if u could give me your opinion about this build.. I don't need a super high end pc just enough to play LOL and Cod and so with decent graphics. Also, about 950€ would be perfect.
Here's what I think:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H75 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus B150M-A D3 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card
Case: NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX ProSeries 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Case Fan: Corsair CO-9050017-BLED 66.4 CFM 140mm Fan
Buy a Fury X instead.
Double up the ram...
Good choice in graphics card, could spend the extra 100 euros to get the 980 ti
>>685681429
Dont buy gtx 960 , wait till gtx 1070 comes out.
Why i5 not i7?
why an overclocking cpu, a liquid cooler, and no overclocking motherboard OP?
>>685681429
Good cpu good ram good cooler shit mobo.
>>685681429
Not OP but are these any good?
ATX Gaming Case w/ blue LED fan
480W Power Supply
AMD FX-8320e 3.2GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Eight-Core
Various Brand AMD CPU Cooler
Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
16GB(2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Gaming Memory
Major Brand 2000GB SATA Hard Drive
Major Brand DVDROM Reader SATA Drive
GeForce GT 610 1GB Dedicated Video Card (w/ HDMI/VGA/DVI)
You want an SSD, not a 1TB hd.
Otherwise, everything depends on your monitor. Your monitor resolution drives your choice of video card and that drives your CPU choice.
>>685681429
All cheap junk.
>>685681429
bigger power supply
>>685681429
Get 2x4gb sticks of ram instead, its a lot faster
Get an i5 - 6500, with that motherboard you won't be able to overclock
Dont get led fans, get an led strip if you want to be that faggot
Better PSU with the saved cash would be better. Cheaping out on the PSU is like buying an alloy block engine for your turbo drift car, its gonna fuckin blow up sooner or later.
you cant use ddr3 ram with a skylake cpu. it wont fit on the mainboard. you need ddr4 ram.
I can play LoL and CoD smoothly with a 256mb integrated gpu
Use this pc for better games I beg
>>685682689
Yep
You could half the ram and get a better GPU though, no one needs that amount of ram with a system as low spec as that
>>685682459
About the overclocking i have no idea about how it works. The cooler would be more to try one, never had one, and this one's cheap and will do the work.
>>685682729
He's got one there nigger
>ADATA... 240gb..Solid State Drive
Hurr durr
>>685682689
the m5a78l-m doesn't support 8 core cpu, has shit pci-e slots, you start with shit mobo, you'll have shit
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dcjjjX
This is a pretty good build for the money, op.
>>685681429
Check out logicalincrements.com, they cover various budgets and builds component by component.
Protip to all:
Got to fucking /g/ and lurk for a bit, the amount of people building their own systems without first knowing compatibility is horrendous.
Buy a prebuilt if you really know this little
Maybe you want to consider an FX 8350 and invest the other money in a better mobo.
>>685683556
its easy to watch a video mate.
>>685683556
I'm about to, they have a link at the bottom that allows you to customize what you want..

>>685683688
What are you trying to say here?
I built my own skylake system.
I'm complaining about those trying to buy DDR3 RAM for a Skylake system, and then others buying 16gb of RAM for a system that can't even run Photoshop properly, and then those that want to buy a 430w PSU for a GPU that will likely soak up half the wattage
>>685683715
I'm new to the PC gaming trend to and have no idea what's good or not. Also, lurking moar is sort of not an option.
>>685681429
Speak to joshua ngoka. He can point you in the right direction!
>>685681429
DO NOT - I REPEAT - DO NOT BUY A GPU UNTIL 1070 GTX COMES OUT. The bang for buck on that is going to be 3-5x times the 960-980 have.
>>685683715

Lmao
Mate, just go to pccasegear.com, look at the prebuilts there if youre Aus.
Never buy gaming computers from ebay
>>685683962
Good start, get more ram soon, and buy a better motherboard now if you can afford it
>>685684220

Will look into asap.
>>685681429
Mico mobo? That's no bueno. Also get 2x8gb ddr4 2800+

>pic related my specs
>>685683962
Onboard GPU's suck.
gtx 960 is pure shit my friend
>>685684347
I bought all my parts from there for my custom build, they're great for quality and the prices are cheap, customer service was also great in a refund where the wrong thing was delivered and I had ordered an item that was almost identical, but was 2 numbers off in the specs and a $10 price difference, I had the $10 in my account within 2 days.
Make sure to use StarTrack for shipping, AusPost will fuckin break it. They're too rough, and I've had parcels lost etc etc..
Just dont trust AusPost
>>685684501
I think they have an option for the actual card not just on board.
>>685681429
why are you buying a micro atx mobo with a mid tower case? why are you going for liquid cooling for a LoL and cod machine? why are you buying such a cheap ssd? why are you going with WD blue instead of green or black? why are you buying a computer now when all the new shit is right around the corner and all other prices will drop?
Consoles are superior. PC is for poor niggers who cant afford ps4.
>>685684485
consider something like this OP
get the shittest CPU if you really only plan on gaming with it, and sink the money into a better GPU
>>685685860
This is hands-down the funniest thing ever.
>>685685860
>every console peasant ever
kek
Any recommended already-built gaming pcs? I dont know anything about building one. Preferably a really cheap one because poorfag and just a simple one for something like League of Legends.
>inb4 cancerfag
>>685682142
This
Nvidia Geforce GTX770 would be way better for this setup
>>685682333
not op but if you're doing gaming, hyperthreading doesnt help very much performance wise.
>>685687181
>cheap
>gaming pc
>leage of legends
you are literally cancer
MOBAs are for unsocialized tards who can't win at anything else in life
>>685687181
you don't need a cheap gaming pc, prebuilt or not to run LoL, get a Dell home potato for $200 or some shit, and if you need some more graphics power, add a gpu later.
>>685681429
got to /g/, or better, to a forum like OC.uk with this. A fast board like this where half of the people want to feed you misinformation isn't exactly the best place to ask.
You need a Z170 chipset board to overclock, if you dont overclock the 6600k is burned money. Dont fall for the small closed loop AiO watercooling meme, go for a decent aircooler instead (comparable temperatures, way more silent and less chances to fail)
Get 2x4 or 2x8GB RAM for dual channel, actually gives you a slight performance jump.
The GTX 960 is underpowered as heck for a system in that price category. Get at least an R9 290/r9 390, the sapphire Nitro or powercolor PCS+ is a good choice. The 970 is a bad choice due to the segmented VRAM, so either get a GTX 980 or stay with AMD. Your best option is waiting though, new AMD and Nvidia cards literally come out next month.
Get a good 500W PSU, a be quiet straight power 10 500w, coolermaster CS550M. The corsair V550SM is acceptable too.
Not op here, but im building a pc for the first time too:
-nzxt noctis 450 case
Corsair rm850i psu
4tb toshiba sata hard drive
msi x99s krait edition
Raijintek triton cooler with 240mm rad
samsung 850evo ssd
Waiting for geforce gtx 1080 hybrid and intel i7 broadwell-e (some 5930k price equivalent like 650euros )
Probably going to buy an m.2 4lane ssd in future and maybe a second 1080
All this wil be on either 3 1920×1080 screens or 1 4k ultrawide 34inch curved screen, from which ill buy another one in a year or so.
Do you think it'll be able to run minecraft at at least 15fps? And i'll browse /b/ on it
>>685681429
Water cooling looks pointless, and 450w psu is way too low, get 650-750 at least
>>685688144
Nzxt noctis dude here; imma overclock the shit out of everything by the way, and i got 16gb of ddr4 2400mhz memory
>>685688833
it's not to low, get what is enough for your system and what you plan in the close future. OPs system will draw way less than 300W under gaming load.
>>685688676
are you serious or what?
M.2 SSDs are only useful if you do something like content creation (loading a shit ton of large photos into photoshop for example). It makes close to no difference for normal desktop usage, system/program startup time.
How's this build?
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
OCZ Trion 100 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Sapphire Radeon R9 380X 4GB NITRO Video Card
Corsair SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Logitech Z506 155W 5.1ch Speakers
Any suggestions would be nice. I'm trying to keep this under $1200 if possible.
>>685681429
youre an absolute idiot for buying a liquid cooler if you dont plan to OC. Also, dont get 240 gb for a SSD, I only use my 128 for Windows. you dont need the extra case fans, use the extra money to upgrade your GPU

>>685681429
to prevent static electricity damage, wear wool socks on carpet. Make sure to rub the socks on the carpet often and make sure you touch the soldering points
>>685688833
>except for when your graphics cards don't sound like appache helicopters taking off when your gaming
>and dat performance boost as well
hell even the new 1080's can't hold their touted boost clocks in a normal case due to throttling from the card getting too hot, after 20mins it is basically back down to the base clock speed. then you have to start fucking with the power target to get it to stay at the 1700mhz boost clock
>>685689258
Btw I already have all the other peripherals.
>>685689171
I just thought about buying it in the future; i'll actually use the pc for full hd video editimg and animation in blender. Maybe ill buy After effects amd photoshop, i like photography and video-making a lot and id like to produce some shit. Also light gaming on it, but the m.2ssd is also for fapping to it and feeling a little alpha
>>685682142
Or wait until the 1080 comes out???
>>685689593
Be sure to wear a tinfoil hat as well, protects against the screens microwave radiation.
>>685689258
Don't go for a CPU with open multiplier when you dont want to overclock. Either change the CPU to a Xeon E3 1231v3/i7 4771 if you dont want to overclock, or change the board to a Z87/Z97 Board.
The 380X is OK, but not really that much stronger than a 380. In that price bracket i would really think about going for a decent R9 390, like the sapphire nitro. If it's intended for gaming, definetly do that, and if necessary get an i5 instead of the i7.
I would change the tower to something like the nanoxia deep silence 3. Fans will be way more quiet (even the fans in my corsair carbide 300R for ~60$ are complete shit, corsair just cheaps out on them all the time), its insulated, and you want cut your fingers on sharp metal thingys that are everywhere in these cheap towers.
The PSU is completly overpowered and not that good at all. If you think that you really need a 750W PSU for the close future go for something good like the Corsair RMi series (the i is important, RM series isnt that good). If not and you just want something good for your system get a good 500W PSU like the Be quiet straight power 10 500W, Coolermaster V550SM and Corsair CS550M.
>>685682240
This
This is overkill for what you said you want. my 700 USD pc (i3, 750ti, 8gb ram) can run league on max at over 200 fps, i never play cod but it ran bf4 stable 60+ on high settings. you can also get more performance than I did, but i wanted to get a nice silverstone case, and a mechanical keyboard. Also, if you dont plan on overclocking just go with stock cooler, but if you do get a different mobo.
>>685689659
With light gaming i mean playing gta v on ultra with 100fps
>>685681429
Yo OP, wait until next week when the GTX 1080 comes out, all other card prices should drop, you might even get a 970 or 980 for cheap.
The rest of your system seems fine, you may wanna go with either 12gb or 16gb of ram though.
>>685689659
well, they're definetly awesome tech, it's just that they are still quite expensive per GB and not that usefull for most people at all. If you have to load large files for your programs it might be worth the price, otherwise i really doubt you'll notice a difference at all. I have the XP941 on an adapter and it wasn't worth it for me at all.

What the he'll is everyone doing?
You're buying DDR3 instead of DDR4 for what reason? At least try a little....
rate
>>685691445
these games don't need more VRAM. The moment you start one that needs more you can have fun with a stuttering piece of shit though. That there aren't many right now doesnt matter, they will come.
>>685691658
Here's a resolution and game that needs more vram
>>685689986
Cool, thanks for the suggestion, i'll be toying around with it for a while before I buy it. Since i don't want to over clock I might go for that i7 4771. The GPU is a tricky one since I won't be playing next gen games so I though of going for a lower card. The Deep Silence looks like a good choice over the corsair one that was originally on the list. The PSU I thought should be higher because of the Video card's power consumption but I'll look into that.

Doing it over I would definitely buy an Intel graphics card. My MSI R7 370 will probably never be linux compatible, leaving me with botnet 10 for the time being.
>>685681429
Don't get a GTX 960...You need a Nvidia Quadro
>>685681926
This. Got the same processor in a build the other month but with the h80 cooler. Cooler is probably overkill, use an air cooler to save more money and get more ram
>>685692171
Mfw gtx1080 is better than titan x
>>685691847
and now take a look at what happens to your frametimes in a scenario where you really run out of VRAM. Looks similar to when the 970 fucks up due to its segmeted VRAM. To bad i don't have any of those safed, but the 970 fucking up will do i guess.
>>685692171
>I got jewed by Nvidia
>I jerk myself off to anonymous on the internet

>>685682333
Not op but I suspect it is because i7 is way way more expensive if you primarily care about clock speed rather than number of threads
>>685691950
if you don't need the IGP go for the Xeon E3 1231v3. Same CPU, they just disabled the IGP.
You don't need more than a 500W PSU for any system with a single GPU out there right now unless you have a really high OC'd CPU/GPU.
>>685692348
Yeah AMD is so much better with frametimes
