Nascarfan98 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 So recently I've started building a Custom Gaming PC and here's what I've gotten so far. Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066&cm_re=Antec_Three_Hundred_Illusion_Black_Steel_ATX_Mid_Tower-_-11-129-066-_-Product Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151102&cm_re=Seasonic_850w-_-17-151-102-_-Product Processor: http://www.microcenter.com/product/418180/Core_i7_4820K_LGA_2011_Boxed_Processor?rf=Search+Results+Top+%3E+Feature+2+%3E+Processors+Intel%2fAMD+-+Top+2 My questions are What do you guys suggest should I get for other parts including Motherboard, Video Card, So on. I know I have to get a Motherboard that can adapt with an LGA2011 socket. Thanks!
Nascarfan98 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 I don't really have one, I'm just buying parts as soon as I have the money
Crazyboy335 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Motherboard - MSI Z87-G45 - that's what I have and it rocks GPU - ASUS/AMD R9 290 - again, that's what I have, and it rocks
Nascarfan98 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 The Motherboard has to fit a LGA2011 socket
Crazyboy335 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I already have the GPU and the Motherboard has to fit a LGA2011 socket The motherboard does have a LGA2011 socket.
NavySonicShell Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Any respectable build will have at least three Titan Zs. Anything less is just abysmal. 3
Nascarfan98 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 The motherboard does have a LGA2011 socket. Can you link me to it? I typed it into a few sites and from what I see it doesn't Any respectable build will have at least three Titan Zs. Anything less is just abysmal. That would require a lot of saving. But that's amazing
Crazyboy335 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I guess it doesn't have LGA2011. This one does though: http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_IV_BLACK_EDITION/
Nascarfan98 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Thank you! I think I'm gonna get that
BoomBaby Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 i'd get a 980 for the video card. 16gb if you really really want it, but 8 is enough. Also only get 850w if you plan to ever SLI.
Nascarfan98 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 Update on the specs..I had to start budgeting because Kroger cut back my hours drastically and in a few weeks I wont even be working there at all. But I do have enough money to complete this. Here are the specs I have so far and what I'm gonna accomplish. (What I have) Case: Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Power Supply: SeaSonic X Series X-850 (SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W ATX12V Motherboard: EVGA 132-SE-E775-RX LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Processor: Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E Quad-Core 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W Desktop Processor Graphics Card: PowerColor AX6970 2GBD5-2DHE Radeon HD 6970 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support (The rest to come soon) 16 GB DDR3 1866 Mhz RAM 1 TB HDD ASUS Xonar DGX 5.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Gaming Audio Card
BoomBaby Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Jesus thats an awful video card, never ever spend more on the CPU than the Graphics Card, especially that much.
liquidfire215 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 in all fairness a game like ROR is very CPU heavy, so it will benefit in this game. the 6970 is a little dated at this point so the newer releases will struggle to get the higher end. If you still have a return window and want to go amd, you may want to seriously consider getting a r9 270 model due to it being a GCN card and allowing mantel to run. This is technology that benefits AMD cards. Not a huge price leap either. One good thing about a graphics card is that there are always people who will buy them used, you should be able to list it on ebay and recoup a good amount back when you decide to upgrade.
Nascarfan98 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Like I said needed to start Budgeting. I'm not looking for Max settings I just want to run good games. I know its not that great and when I move and get a new job my goal is to eventually get a TitanZ or Titan Black. Then I'm gonna make another build with a rather low budget for back up and I'm gonna put the 6790 in it. Also I didn't intend on getting a CPU More than the GPU that was just the crap luck on not having anymore money coming in Also I can't use Ebay cuz I got screwed over which lead to my PayPal account going in the negatives (long story)
