So after hours of thinking i decided what my new setup is going to be

 

 

OS : Windows 7

 

CPU : Intel I7 4770 3.4 Ghz

Motherboard : ASRock B85M

 

Ram : 16GB

Graphic Card : Nvidia Geforce 760 Hawk edition 2GB 

 

120 GB SSD Regular mem

1.5 TB Regular Mem

And a 950 Watt powersupply

 

 

How good will this run games like, gta 4, DayZ Stand alone etc.

So far i ordered the GPU only since money is coming in for the CPU + Motherboard and SSD 

 

 

Is this a decent setup? ( Also a H-80I watercooling, should do the trick? )

Here's the recommended specs for the games you specifically asked for:

You need to be more specific about the make and models of both the PSU and the Ram. 

I'd rather not go watercooling, it's water after all.

Powersupply is from corshair, dont see why to be specific, power is power no matter the loudness

And Corshair RAM memory.

Not necessarily, it can be coolant.

Yes, it does matter. Buying a shitty power supply could result in your expensive gear being blown up in a power surge if the components inside aren't good. Trust me, I'm talking from experience here.

 

You've come here asking for advice, yet seem to be complaining that I'm asking for specifics. I want to be sure that I give you a good answer but can't do that without specifics.

No offence against you though, but i wasn't complaining. I didn't knew it matter that is something different. Even though i always rather spend more money to buy quality then buy cheap things.

All I was doing was checking the brand of both the PSU and Ram since poor products would result in poor performance.

I've been saying this for like a few weeks now. 

 

I don't know how quickly you need to build this PC, but you're probably better off waiting for Maxwell to come out. Nvidia is discounting a lot of their 700 series cards right now on Newegg and usually that is key when knowing they will release their new series.

 

Also I've been hearing a LOT of rumors about Maxwell coming along nicely so it might even get released sooner than March if we're lucky. 

 

The 700 series have been out for almost a year now so we should expect some newer cards coming out (even from AMD side with their 290 series, there's only been about 3 non reference cards come out).

 

So if you absolutely HAVE to get this built now go with the 760 Hawk. It's a really nice card.

Then why are u buying the cheapest and shittest mainboard out there ASRock B85M $102 bucks they have worse BIOS system ever. Its not even a gaming board at all...... An less u believe what the box says lol.

 

U want Asus or Gigabyte mainboard least over $250 spend on it. Remember probly only thing u wont upgrade in a computer is the mainboard. Be most likely the Ram,GFX,HDD you will upgrade down in the futrue. The Mainboard is the back bone, never go so cheaply on that for good gaming system.

 

"Powersupply is from corshair, dont see why to be specific, power is power no matter the loudness And Corshair RAM memory"  This means nothing to us. Tom H is chasing the spec's

 

What we want to know is what WATTS rated on the PSU 750watt,800watt,1000watt???

Whats the Mhz on the memory 1600MHZ or 2133MHZ. Whats the memory timming's C8,C9,C10 and yes its does matter if u know anything about computers.

 

Tom H. is righ! If your PSU under the watt rating it can handle. They just go POP!. When PSU blows up sending a change of power throw to your mainboard and everthing connect to it burns out so bye bye system (I seen it so many time's now its not funny).... What if u want to upgarde to SLI? That puts on about 30-250watt depending on your card. So really gotta much sure u got the right PSU for your system

 

What's the brand of the SSD and the specs say on it? If it's 25nm multi-level cell (MLC) then thats the good one (Well build,will last forever,quicker read and wrtie speeds). If its Triple-level cell (TLC) (cheaply build, they will fail alot faster, shit read and write speeds)

 

In my eyes even with a GTX 760 GTA IV u probly avg 50 lucky.(unless u OC your CPU u would get little more). I got I7 930 clocked 4.2GHZ and GTX670 SLI's (which they not that far behide gtx 770 SLI probly 10-20fps) my ave at 80fps with FRAPS high settings on (this is not the GT IV benchmark test either otherwise i get 120). Do lots of research before jumping into buying part's I made that mistake a long time ago... I work for a computer store as a tech, part time job cheap parts for me XD Just helping you out bud seen alot ppl buy part's thinking that its the bees knees and it totally cheap shit.

 

Ghilbert is right too. GTX 800 series coming out Q1 2014 they say so the price 700 series is gonna drop.

 

P.s Water Cooling is overrated unless u run throw a fridge compresser then it's worth it. Water temperature will be whateva your room is at. So say its 22c plus about 5 or 6c more cause  the heat off the CPU running so let's say 28c. When u CPU hits around 50% usage it will cause it do go a one degree ever 1-2mins. Then it will stop around 61c then say u dont using that CPU usage it takes about 10mins for each degree to go down alot slower then air cooled reason i know this been there and done that. Air cooled yes little hotter my seats at 64c at 50% usage but cools off alot quicker, 3mins and its back to its normal temp. Noctua are the best air coolers to go for.

 

P.s On board Sound is terrible u might want to look into a sound card as well..
