[hamu33]

Hello guys i have decided to build my own gaming PC and i was wondering if this is an ok set-up for my budget (600-800). I was wondering if it would work well together and maybe some tweaks here in there if needed ( sorry i can't post links yet ):

CPU Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core $224.99
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $29.98
Motherboard ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 $84.98

Power Supply XFX 550W ATX12V / EPS12V $59.99

Budget 600-800

Games / Settings Desired Play games like WOW, Diablo III etc. on high ( at least)
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)- N/A

Parts that can be reused None
Do you need an OS? No I got that covered
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? Would appreciate a suggestion for the build separately

Certainly looks like you're in the right area for your budget. The one thing I would recommend right off the bat is to buy a couple extra fans for your case. Looks like it only comes with 1 pre-installed. Thats really user preference, but I'm a cooling nut. Only thing that stands out is maybe a different Mobo. I wouldn't want to give a recommendation because I'm a bit on the new side. However a more seasoned vet will likely post and give a better audit.

To get to your budget, you'll need to deal with MIRs with this build, but it will give you the option to OC.

I also put a SSD in the build, as it improves quality of life with the computer. You can easily add a HDD later if you need the storage, or you can drop the price by $50 and go back to the HDD now and add the SSD later.

I put the case in because it is a bit cheaper, though you can certainly go with your first choice.

Thank you for your help guys. I might just go with the HDD for now but i am planing to buy an SSD soon too.

Thank you for your help guys. I might just go with the HDD for now but i am planing to buy an SSD soon too.

The SSD is a really nice addition if you can afford it but not really required. In my new PC I have a 1TB HDD and a 240gb SSD. If you can spend the extra $60 on the HDD in conjunction with the SSD it will save you the hassle of putting one in later.

Since you don't overclock there is no immediate need for an aftermarket cooler. An overclockable build is always preffered as Idrinkwhiterussians posted but if you are certain you don't want to then you can squize abit more out of the budget. Similar to yours, you can fit a R9 280X that is alot more powerfull than the 270x. Also better (imo) case. The psu you got link is good for the budget but as an option i will include a better one. Its a little more than needed but at that price i think it worth it. With the addition of an ssd down the road you will be set.

A couple very good monitor suggestions depending on your budget, obviously the more pricey one is better:

Dell U2414H 60Hz 23.8" Monitor
Dell P2414H 60Hz 23.8" Monitor

If those are expensive for you, you can give us a budget ballpark to work something out more suited.

I see what you are saying . I just have a quick question: What about MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR for the video card seems a bit cheaper ? As for the monitor i already have something that would work with the build but i would like to have something better to work towards thank you for the suggestions, i really like them.

[Idrinkwhiterussians]

The 280x is a better card than the 280. I forget what the change is to be honest.

[hamu33]

Ah ok I understand. I was just wondering . Thank you again
