SpikeSoprano Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Your link works fine, it looks like a pretty solid system, don't know if you plan on gaming but if you do you might consider a video card with 3gb of memory as the newer games seem to use up memory quite a bit. Also you might want to add a decent after market cpu cooler to your list, the intel ones are only basic cooling. I guess you know this is not a k series cpu so you won't be able to oc it but it's turbo is 4gb so you most likely won't need to. Good luck with your build. And welcome to OCC.

RHKCommander959 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 seems like a fine build, you could save money buying a couple used parts and repurpose that cash for better parts elsewhere too. Just a thought. What are you using for a monitor, resolution plays a big role on component choice too... Overclocking? Heat sink?

JBL333 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 @Certified Geek THank you for the help! I added on the cooler and am considering the upgarded video card thanks for checking everything! @RHK I actually have no decided on a monitor yet and am still browsing any suggestions?

WarWeeny Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 i would go for the i5 4670 (maybe even the K version if you plan to overclock in the future) and with the extra money you save from not going i7 to get a better videocard, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I would swap out that ssd Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR240GB-7 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) for a OCZ Vertex, Samsung Evo or Curical drive. I've own 2 of those mushkin drives and once you fill them up the read and write speed is about 100mb/s compared to the advertise speed of 400+. Some parts of the drive with mp3s on it drop down to 50mb/s. They are all going to have lower read and write than what is advertise because that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 You should look at some of the ASUS and MSI offerings that look like the EVGA board. THey have a lot of new features with the Z97 chipset that just make them really attractive from a price performance perspective.

JBL333 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Do either of you have any reccomendations of specific ASUS or MSI motherboards? I have very little knowledge on them (preferably from newegg) Edited June 14, 2014 by JBL333 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Sure the Maximus VII Hero or Ranger are nice as is the Z97 Gaming 7 although the 5 would do just as good. I have tested the Maximus VII Hero and the Gaming 7 and they both are great examples to compare. Both will do anything you want you just have to look at the feature set and see which one is right for your usage model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBL333 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 After browsing for a bit I am leaning towards this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132125&cm_re=maximus_VII_hero-_-13-132-125-_-Product would that work alright with everything else I have picked so far?
