Another PC for WOD

[Deleted]

Hello hardware experts. I am trying to make PC which could handle WoD 20m mythic on close to ultra(no shadows) with decent fps(>25). Ofcourse pc will also be used for everyday stuff etc. A my old PC is 6 years old, so I might try some other new games.

Resolution: preferably 1920x1080
Country: Latvia

Would not mind if it would be possible to do some gameplay recording.

I am going to buy this stuff from local store, but here is link to PCpartpicker.

OR

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: SeaSonic EVO Edition 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Budget could be 700GPB +-50 .

I don't need any other parts as I already have ssd, monitor etc... Also have window 8.1 license

Also, I am not in a rush to buy it, so I can wait up to 1month. I have heard new nvidia's are coming this month.

Everything is compatible, but can't help you any more without giving us the website link, if available and a budget.

That system will be able to do what you want, its about what most people here are using, difference being part manufacturers. But yeah, it will work for your needs and then some.

I can give you link to local store website but it might help you a lot as it is in latvian or russian.

Anyway. This shop has almost all the stuff you can find on pcpartpicker so if you have any suggestions, feel free to give link to there.


Still budget would be 650-750 gpb or 700-900 eur. Price could could a bit over it if upgrade is worth it.

Maybe you have some comments on case? Some people told me i should choose one with more cooling, or this one could be enough? I plan to overclock CPU a bit.

Dunno where you see seasonic psu's on that website. Most psu's there are cpap, you have to go over 100euro to get a good psu. Isn't there other online shops in your coutry?

[Deleted]

That PSU selection is a bit odd indeed, cheapest I'd put in the rig is this.

Thanks for advice about PSU. I dont really understand whats the difference except energy efficiency which is bronze for one i linked and gold for one you offered. Unfortunally other online shops are also crap so there are really no other serious options.

So here is updated list: https://www.1a.lv/order/shopping_car...EfQszjAg%3D%3D

Also. I found another graphics card:
Gigabyte GF GTX770 4GB GDDR5 PCIE GV-N770WF3-4GD
or http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/giga...d-gvn770wf34gd
it has two times more memory and costs only 50eur more. I would like to add that i have no plans to use multiple screens. Running on 1920x1080 as its max resolution for 27' monitor I bought recently

Is it worth choosing this one? Also, it says ill need atlast 600w PSU there.

Considering the amount of money he is spending on his build, I agree it would be silly not to inclu one, a good one.

This PC should serve you very well.

Note that if you want to spare money or invest it in an SSD, a Core i5 4690, or even 4590 with stock cooler will be more than enough at this resolution for 99,99% of games.

That build is looking good, Nezinams. Reason you shouldn't cheap out on PSU is that if it goes wrong it could potentially destroy other parts as well. The PSU selection in your store isn't good and the decent PSUs are quite overpriced. Anyhow, that build you linked is excellent for WoW. If you can fit SSD in your budget it would be great, but there isn't really anything you should downgrade in the setup either. Except for the motherboard, it's a bit overpriced. You could go for this instead.

Others, please read the whole thread, his component selection is a tad bit limited.

Thank you all for suggestion about SSD but I already have decent 128gb so it is enough for windows + wow on it. I will use 1TB HDD for other stuff.

Ok, I'll stick with PSU u suggested. Also, I checked the motherboard. I found some info about it for overclocking that anniversary Pentium processor but nothing about overclocking one I have chosen, some reviews point out it have problems with heat if CPU is overclock. Does this ASRock MB have same OC capabilities as MSI Z97 5 have? Maybe downgrading to MSI Z97 3 could be enough?

There really is no need for overclocking for world of warcraft @ Full HD.
I would stay clear of overclocking as everything is more expensive and there is a real possibility you'll damage your computer/shorten it's life.

Unless of course you see overclocking as a hobby and you know what you are doing.

Skimp more on GPU the 750ti runs wow smooth as hell on ultra :P Literally recording and streaming never drop below 20 in a 25man WoD raid. Even raiding on live currently 40man i dont go below 18 recording/streaming on ultra.

TBH I ran without a GPU just internal HD4600 and i never dropped below 18fps on recommended settings (probs due to my i7 4790k) but the 750ti is more than enough for ultra. I doubt you will see much improvement at all above the 750ti at least not a good FPS increase for reasonable money. (Event best card going i doubt you will get many more fps)

WoD is fairly nice on system requirements i actually got a FPS boost over live.

Yes there is if you raid. 30% more clock speed translates almost directly to 30% better minimum FPS.

Overclock capabilities are rarely limited by motherboard, but the chip itself. Especially with i5 since it isn't too power hungry, which might be a limiting factor with cheap mobos.

GTX 770 is significantly better for games other than WoW but 760 is quite enough. Probably 750 Ti as well in most cases.
