Title: Looking for a new build
Post by: KhornateMonkey on August 20, 2015, 04:54:55 pm

Hi all,

Looking for a new PC build with a budget of around £800, and would like some feedback and help as I'm not the best at this kind of stuff. It will mostly be used for internet browing and the most exstensive games it will play will be GTA V, hopefully on higher settings. Here is what I have so far:

CPU:

• i5-4590

CPU Cooler:

• Phanteks PH-TC12DX 68.5 CFM CPU Cooler - is this really needed?

Motherboard:

• H97-PRO

RAM:

• Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

SSD & Hard:

• Crucial BX100 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (for boot)
• Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Graphics:

• Palit GeForce GTX 980 4GB Super JetStream

PSU:

• Antec High Current Gamer 620W

Case:

• Coolermaster Enforcer

OS:

• Windows7/10

Obviously, unless you do want to experience this:

(Picture is from my laptop when playing SA:MP... alone!)

PSU is more than enough.
RAM is good.
CPU too, a fancy quadcore (http://ark.intel.com/nl/products/80815/Intel-Core-i5-4590-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz) even.
Drives look pretty well too.
GPU is pretty beefy.

I'd say it all looks great, but I can't tell if it runs GTA:V on higher settings, but I'm sure it can run it at least.

I would try and get 2 sticks of 4 rather then 1 stick of 8, due to timings and having dual channels is faster then having single channel, apart from that I couldn't really doubt it, nice card.  ;)

Get 4690k at least... So you can overclock in future if you wish.
Rest seems fine, you'll be able to run GTA V at max, easy enough

Indeed, even the 970 can run that pretty much Maxed.

If you can afford to upgrade to 16GB of RAM rather than the single 8GB I would recommend doing that as well.
