Total is $1283.31. As mentioned in subject, will be using primarily for 3D modeling, video editing and gaming. This is the first time I've ever attempted to build a PC.

Wouldn't an i7 be better in this case?
>>53153271
Why do you say that? I really don't know. I picked the 4590 because it's the Oculus Rift spec and is pretty highly recommended. i7s also appear to be a lot more expensive.
Before every one rush the "meh, gtx970 meme" and flood this thread, ı would say that you made a good-great computer, except for the ram, you could have get ddr4 at 2333Mhz for like 80€ ( don't know if you're in europe)
Also, i7 are more likely to do modelizing tasks you know. I5 is enough tho
>>53153290
I'm in the US. Is it worth the extra money? Friend told me overclocked RAM has diminishing returns and doesn't DDR4 RAM also mean I need to buy a different mobo?
Gotta say this is way more complicated than I expected.
>>53153290
>ddr4
but it's a Haswell CPU m8
Your CPU isn't compatible with your PSU dumbass
>>53153338
I'm not that stupid, man!
>>53153323
Ho really? I got ddr4 2333 mhz and everything is great (also my first computer) but yeah, i would say it worth it higher frequency means faster data access in ram and also higher data transfer rate throught the bus of your mobo (i don't know this one let me take a look)
>>53153243
Fuck off, /v/
what software you going to be using? if they use all cores an i7 might be worth it.
>>53153365
Autodesk 3DS Max, Adobe Creative Cloud (various), Steam (games) primarily. I have a nice laptop for personal use but no dedicated GPU in it so not suitable for those tasks.
If you are going to do video editing, I would get an i7. If you still want to stay with the i5, i would get the i5 4690k, get a good cooler (like the scythe mugen 4, which I use) and overclock that cpu. Also, I don't like your choice of monitor. It's more benificial to get a smaller monitor for gaming. Also, on this monitor 1440p gaming at 60 fps will sometimes be problematic with the gtx 970.
3.5*
>>53153399
Gaming is a secondary use, which is why I thought about a larger, higher-res IPS with lower refresh rate instead of a gaming TN panel. I recognize I'm not going to be able to do 1440p gaming but 1080p is too small for non-gaming tasks. Awkward compromise, if you have better ideas I'm all ears.
>>53153351
Ignore the meme, ram speed doesn't matter at all. just some gimmick so companies sell them with a higher price.
>>53153432
I'm under the impression it's still I will never notice unless I'm doing benchmarks. Correct?
>>53153426
If it's just your secondary use, I think it's good to use the bigger monitor. You could still run games at 1080p but it will look awkward on a 28" monitor.
>>53153446
ram speed doesn't matter, but CAS does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency
>>53153452
1080p is the same aspect ratio as 1440p at least so it'll just look blurry.

big mistake
>>53153538
this, op is retarded
>>53153502
Yes that's what I meant with "awkward". You know you have high settings on, but on 1080p instead of 1440p. If the screen was like 24 inch it wouldn't be that big of a problem, but since it's a 28 inch it will indeed look blurry.

>>53153594
they are trying to open trade borders with US,
and there you go 100 000 ppl. demonstration against it in Germany, are all these ppl. retarded?
It's bad OP. Let me fix it.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xDKFcf
Like your RAM. This RAM is the same speed, but cheaper, with lower latency.
The Xeon 1231 v3 is identical performance-wise to the i7 4770, but only slightly more expensive than that i5, which is far inferior for your intentions.
Other, minor changes for reasons I'm too lazy to list.
>>53153538
ASRock isn't terrible, it just depends upon what you're getting.
The 970, relative to alternatives, is terrible.

You have no fucking idea what TTIP does. All you care about is 'free trade', which is fucking hilarious and isnt even actually being enabled by TTIP. The wort part is that people like you are allowed to vote.

damn 3.5+5 gb? THESE FUCKIN TROLLS ARE TRYING TO HOARD THEIR 970'S WITH 8.5GB FOR THEMSELVES. THESE FUCKIN TROLLS. BUY GTX 970 NOW!!!
>>53153932
N-no it was supposed to stay a secret ;w;
Alright to whats the best CPU, GPU, mainboard combination for the buck right now? I have been out of the loop for a while but will be forced to build a new PC from scratch in the coming weeks. And since I havent kept up for a couple years and just heard about stuff like the 970 dilemma I have no idea whats the best, price performance setup on the market right now.
All I saw while researching is that he GPU prices seem to have been pretty damn stable. Like the 970 hardly dropped in price since 2014 even though nVidia lying to their customers. So whats the best way to get good performance while still saving some money. I dont need to run AAA, horribly optimized trash titles on all Ultra settings with 120fps.
Help appreciated.
>>53153945

Wait for Polaris and Zen.

>ASRock mobo

Get an Asus board instead, they're not much more expensive.
And either upgrade that shit GPU to a 980 or get a 390 for the same price, jesus christ, never let anyone buy a 970. It's simply fucking retarded.
>>53153969
4460 + h97 board with an amd 380

>>53153969
i5 4690k with amd r9 390
What's a good budget semi to fully modular psu? black cables preferred.
>>53153924
prophet, look into the magic ball and tell us what does it really mean for end user / consumer
>>53153969
Keep the Xeon 1231 v3 (and 1241 v3) in mind.
They are an i7 4770 and an i7 4790, respectively, with a lower price and power draw.
They lack integrated graphics, but that's irrelevant to someone with a GPU.
The perfect combination for the money right now is a (good model) r9 390 and one of those Xeons.
>>53154028
>i5 4690k
Completely retarded. You can get an i7 4770 for like $20 more.
>>53154102
lol no, i7 4770 is €80 more

Dumbass.
Never buy an i7 4770 or i7 4790.
They are the Xeon 1231 v3 and Xeon 1241 v3.
Literally the same performance, but most people aren't familiar with Xeon CPUs.
>>53154212
Dumbass.
I wasn't even advicing the i7 4770. I adviced on the i5 4690k.
imstall gertoo
Buy AMD wait til Zen and polaris
>>53153924
all we fucking care for in TTIP:
• remove customs duties and
other barriers to trade
• stimulate the economy and
create jobs
• help EU companies grow
and compete worldwide
>>53153243
>>53153389
Just to clarify, by 3D modeling are you implying that you'll just be making models, or rendering as well?
While the 3.5GB meme may be debatable for gaming purposes, as RAM usually is for games in general, it's a pretty big deal if you're going to be GPU rendering. If your card runs out of RAM during a render the job will simply fail.
Unlike game engines, renderers have no memory management system that loads/unloads relevant data as needed, so your entire scene must fit in VRAM, so the more RAM your GPU has the better.

You dont even realize that TTIP wont help European companies to grow at all. It only makes US takeover ten times easier.
>>53154506
Sorry, Rajesh.
>>53154510
yeah, tinfoil
we don't care, want the Fury for 500 USD
>>53154267
And apply US laws in Europe.
>>53153243
Go with at least 2133 memory instead of 1600
It's also with the extra money for the K series CPU and a Z97 mobo.
Add a couple of fans and a nice heatsink and you're done.
>>53154325
Citation needed, sounds as a massive shortcomming of the renderers.
>>53154636

The 970 even with the meme VRAM is still the best card for 1080p gaming. It sucks but it's true. 960 is getting too weak to max out brand new games, and 980 is too expensive for most people.
>>53156535
Nah. The 390 exists. The 380 and 380x exist which are more than enough for 1080p. The 960 is shit though, you're right.
all these freetard sperglords here with anti-windows retaliations itt, it's pathetic
>>53153243
Looks good OP. For 3d that is about the best you can do for a reasonable price. As much as I'd like to recommend a 390, it really depends on what you are rendering with. For the 3d viewports, which are typically driven by opengl, amd cripples their gaming cards less compared to the workstation variants then nvidia. As well, the components in 3d programs that are opencl driven will perform much better with amd. The downside is that many programs and renders only support CUDA, so it is a safer bet to get a nvidia card. If you know you don't need CUDA, then the 390 is a good option though.
This is from my experience using both a 560ti and 7970 in my computer which I use for 3d animation work.
>>53156535
>I only buy Nvidia because I want to play the game The Way it Was Meant to be Played™.
R9 390 destroys the GTX 970 and has better prospects for the future. Just buy an extra case fan and a fire extinguisher.
