What I my loosing If I go for a cheaper mobo?

If you go with i5 4690 you won't be able to overclock it. So no point in spending that much money on mobo you aren't going to take advantage of anyways.

alright that's 20$ saved on the card and 40$+ on the mobo thx, I'll consider those options



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

So I quickly made one and tell me what you think: (I changed a few things but you get a 970 which is kickass for gaming)

That card is way too much for my needs, I think the 960 you recommanded would be better for me

But you will get significantly better performance from a 970 and it only costs like $23.93 more than your build. I would really urge you to consider a 970 over a 960!

Many newer PC games are being ported over from console (PS4/Xbox One) where video RAM usage is well above 2GB. A GTX 970 isn't overkill. I would recommend looking for a cheaper 970 rather than a 960.



Jizz_Beard_thePirate on 25 July 2015

I want to make a slight little adjustment to my build. I suggest this 970:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487076&cm_re=970-_-14-487-076-_-Product

Instead of the one I posted cause this one comes with that MGSVPP free promo deal and the price should still be the same once you added it up yourself
