Looking for help on a PC build

[AdrianCC100]

This is what I had in mind.

HAF 922 Red (Mid Tower)
Intel Core I5-4690K 3.5GHz
Asrock Z97 Pro3
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
[Modular] Corsair Enthusiast Series RM750 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold

My budget is 1300 dollars. Now before anyone tells me "You can build one for yourself cheaper" I honestly don't want to build it myself. The total price of this PC is 1200 dollars from Ironside Computers (Where I purchased my last one) My goal is to run any game on the current market from Medium to High graphic settings and over all just a good decent PC.. Any tips on what I should change out? For example, the graphics card and motherboard are the ones I picked good, or are there better ones for cheaper or similar price?

1)Overpriced as fuck.

2)750 Ti cant run new games Medium and High.

It can older games and obviously Blizzard games at Medium/High, but it cant run newer games and definitely will struggle next year.

If you just want to order a PC where they built it, you can do just do that, why buy a premade crap that costs a lot and will be underperforming?

Since your budget is that high.. i will check that "ironside computers" and let you know.

Edit: Since i saw you changed stuff yourself and now checked myself, what an overpriced bunch of shit is all i can say.

Since you already said you dont wanna bother with doing stuff yourself i will exit the thread.

PSU: Too much a 550W is more than enough.

RAM:16GB overkill, 8GB will be just fine for 2-3 more years easily probably more there is no indication we will need 16GB RAM unless you want it for work stuff and compression etc.

CPU: If you cant even build a PC yourself you shouldnt bother overclocking too, go with a 4590 and save yourself money.

And a general image:

A PC costing around 1050$ can run everything ultra that exists +90 for Windows so lets say around 1150$ for tower+ windows.

Thats 1050$ with a 970/290X, not a 750 Ti.

This is what I'd build if you're dead-set on buying from an e-tailer. 4690k+GTX970+SSD/HDD combi.

As above well said, its a rip-off but a big freaking margin. A gtx 750ti in a 1200$ build? It should have a 970 in there. The psu is .... that rig with the gtx750 can run fine with a 350w psu... You can run gtx970 sli on 650w psu with headroom.

If you absolutely set on pre-build and you're ready to pay over of what is needed tenangrychickens proposal is better by far from the gpu alone. Its a 250-300% more powerful gpu.

Thanks for the help. How much would a PC like that be if I just bought all the individual parts.

After watching his build quickly.

You would basically save around 50-100$ and you would be putting better/more solid most-chosen brands on some stuff, thats the only difference.

As example instead of ADATA you could have Samsung/Crucial etc but ADATA isnt bad at all, just "Secondary" choices.

His build doesnt have windows which is 104$ also.

But overall much better than the scam you posted.

Example of what i am talking about, you basically save ~80-100$ while adding "Better" brands in terms of the whole trust/benchmarks and similar stuff in the end its pretty much the same performance.

I have a windows 7 disc anyway, so I don't really need an OS.. I can just install it myself. But thanks for the tips, I made some changes.. How does this look?

Right two things.

1)I put the 1TB WD Blue cause there is a reason, its basically a WD Black old revision, sold as a WD Blue, aka much faster than a regular WD Blue, basically its the newer revision of WD Blues while WD Blacks havent had a similar change, generally go for that "WD10EZEX"

2)There is a reason that water cooler was put because it can handle haswell properly.. Hyper 212 Evo is a good one but its not meant for higher overclocking, not that it will have issues, but its safer to get a proper cooler basically.

If you dont want a water cooler and you are overclocking then look into a stronger air cooler.

If you arent overclocking, keep the 212 EVO but dont get the 4690K since there will be no point.

In general only change the WD Blue to 1TB for the reason i said above, the rest looks fine.
