    Is a pretty beefy but should fit in a full sized case. The Colors on it are a bit strange.

    Name 3 games that aren't compatible with Windows 8.

    And yea Windows 7 is cheaper. Also lower performance and is loosing support soon. Yep, definitely the best choice. Start8 and you'll never even remember that it's Windows 8 and still get to enjoy it's performance.

    1080p isn't needed either, but we like it. If he wants 4k gaming and can afford it then it's his choice.

    The 970s are out of stock on Amazon and Newegg. Any alternatives?

    I used to work with Microsoft in market sales where I trained people how to use Windows 8 so they could sell it. I know how to use it and I prefer it over 7.

    Have had two different rigs over the course of 6 years and 0 problems. Can't say enough to recommend them.

    They are all pretty much out of stock unless you want to settle for the EVGA Superclocked Reference Model. Might have some of those available still. If you preorder it, you could very well get one available when the parts actually ship on monday. Most people don't recommend the reference because of louder noise and less cooling, but EVGA offers a warranty and they aren't really any different performance wise. Your choice though.

    This goes for 970s and 980s. I wouldn't recommend going with anything else out of impatience.

    Also, I'm not trying to convince you to use Windows 7. It was sarcasm aimed at the short bus useless comment made about you going for Windows 7 instead. It's annoying to always have the ones that waste time commenting on threads with uninformative useless information and suggestions

    I had a laptop with windows 8, all games i downloaded through Origin, were not able to be run i tried everything and none would work on windows 8.

    changed to windows 7 and it worked.

    Pretty similar build to the one posted before. The decisions mostly reflect my brand preferences and what I have had good experiences with. Either way I just love doing these things. Good luck!

    Less performance for more money. If you're into that kind of thing.

    To the above build, 4770k is a waste. Same price as 4790k yet runs hotter and has less clock speed out of the box. Corsair RM is meh. The seasonic i linked is more reliable, probably quieter, and just slightly more while also getting Platinum cert. OP doesn't seem to want the AIO coolers either. The mobo is going to need to be Z97 for a 4790k as well.

    I would suggest maybe going 1440p rather than 4k. I t is a difference that is noticable but still much easier to drive. 4k suffers from bad ui problems, while 1440k does also suffer from those it is not as bad.

    Or maybe just grab a 1080p g-sync monitor.

    Personally I would take a 1080p 144hz monitor such as the Asus VG248QE over a 4k any day, but I prefer performance over picture quality.

    As I do as well.

    Only issue I see is is it confirmed that the case can fit the h100i in a nice spot?

  15. #35
    What case did you decide on? The h100i is a 240mm rad and it should list in the case specs where and how large a radiator can be fitted.

    We don't help people here for money, man. Appreciate the offer though. Not sure the point in there antics.

    Also, case is completely optional on what you like to look at. If you see another case that can fit the cards/cooler and everything else that you like don't hesitate to take it. Reviews can tell you a lot about the case. I'm personally about to invest into a new case myself (Air 540) that you might even like. Aesthetics are definitely something you can afford to be picky on with that budget.

    Is the case I got. So I guess I can fit it on the bottom, front or top?

    Or maybe other people know more about builds than the OP? Don't be an ass for no reason.

    You'll be fine. My advice is to mount it in the top.
