Non-OC PC Gaming

[Aress]

I need some advice from you cuz i want to build my own pc gaming.

Budget : 2500$
Main uses of intended build: gaming
Parts required: All of them
Previous build information (list details of parts): don't have a previous parts
Monitor resolution: don't have one
Storage requirements:
Will you be overclocking: no
Any motherboard requirements (no. of USB, Xfire/SLI, fan headers): all
Extra information about desired system: don't have

I was thinking at this configuration:

Case: NZXT Phantom black
Mobo: ASUS Gryphon Z87
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 3.4GHz box
GPU: Asus Radeon HD7970 Matrix 3GB DDR5 384-bit
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 Intel® Extreme Masters
SSD: Intel 120GB SATA-III 330 Series 2.5 inch 9.5 mm Reseller Pack
HDD: Seagate 1TB SATA-III 7200 RPM 64MB SV35.5
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX650M
Monitor: BenQ Gaming RTS RL2455HM 24 inch 1 ms GTG

Not bad components.

Why You chose Asus Gyphon over say Formula or Hero?
Not sure if you don't want to go with Nvidia over AMD, many now putting those 770/780 in many discussion of building rigs.
SSD, well, i don't know what to say but recently i see many recommend Samsung Pro or even non Pro or 830 versions a lot, also Plextor M5S or Pro is on topics alot for SSD, think about those, i know many will tell you you will not see big difference with different SSDs, but why not go with most top rated ones not necessary expensive one.

About motherboard, formula or hero are mobs for oc and I don;t want to overclock my sistem, why should I choose formula or hero???

If you do not wish to OC as you say then why buy a 4770K processor? It has a unlocked multiplyer for clocking.

And you do not need a 4770 in any case for gaming only. 4670 is fine. I still would go K because OC with modern boards is part of the fun and purpose.

Ok, thx. I will change i7 with i5 4670. tell me what motherboard should I choose???

[HiVizMan]

Your motherboard choice is good.

Performance boost.

Lets get back on track. Your request was for a system that had no OC.

No OC is your choice. K processors have unlocked multipliers this was done by Intel to make Overclocking easier.
All motherboard these days can be used for Overclocking. 🙂 Even the tiny little ones.

4770 processors are 4 cores + 4 HyperThread
4650 processors are 4 cores no HyperThread

And they are clocked slightly slower. They will still play any current game with ease.

What is the frequency of the memory that you have selected? If it is higher than the default chipset specification you will need to Overclock your ram to get it to run at the speed listed on the box. 🙂

Performance in what? Everyone says that i5 4670 is enough for gaming, how can a i7 4770k would be better?
