is this pc build good?

mrgoodtouches · Jan 26, 2015

alright so im upgrading my rig quite a bit and just need to know if everything is a good product

CPU: i7 4790k 4.0 ghz the cpu i already have

GPU: gigabyte g1 gtx 970

RAM: gskill snipers 8gb this i already have

power supply: evga super nova b2 750w

mobo: msi z97 gaming 7

case: corsair 750D

i am going to do a closed loop for the cpu. if u all have any better products like a better case for around that price i would love to look at it. i like how big and easy the 750d is but its kind of bland in looks lol thanks for the replies ahead of time. i am also going to sli my new card later and i am worried that it will be hard with the gigabyte g1 cuz of how big it is the reason i am going with the gigabyte is its a beast oc so ive heard

Looks good, might wanna mention what the build is going to be used for, an i5 might be more suitable if it's only for gaming.

X71200 · Jan 27, 2015

The thing I don't like about my 750D is the fact that it doesn't have side fan openings, which doesn't matter to me since the entire case is stripped on my end, but anyway, that is my gripe with it. It does look a bit bland but it has a clean look to it. That said, it indeed is a good case but you might want to look at something else.

he already has the i7
I don't recommend gygabyte for anything. Go with Asus or MSI

^I wouldn't say "don't" get a Gigabyte..
but I would say get an Asus or MSI.. :cool:

or if you're not overly concerned with overclocking..XFX
^top 3 for warranty.
In honorable mention: Zotac and Sapphire. (not for RMA) but good cards.
As for mobo..How much is that MSI gaming z97? There may be better options.
ok..It's $135 on the Egg..

I'm just going to throw out some other options that most likely are better quality:

Ok..budget limit.
Out of all those,I would be looking @ The Giga ud3 or Biostar..that's just me..
they are the most full-featured and solid.
and out of those 2 i would pick the Biostar because..
a)I've had one..It was nice.
and
b)Not a fan of Giga BIOS

Buggy bios.
Poor hardware implementations, especially for latter revisions of boards and gpu.

I really have to admit, every gigabyte product I ever owned had caused me such problems.

kinda weird…

I have been using gigabyte motherboards and GPU's with almost every build I have! and never, trust me never have gotten any issue, contrary to Asus, everything I have purchased from Asus worked / ended as garbage,

Since every brand has good and bad products i tend not to hold on or off of brands and just look at things model wise. But that's just me

OT: Are you in the US? What's your budget? Those parts look good but they may be equivalents parts for cheaper or better for the same price. Look into the Evga G2 for example instead of the B2

IME Gigabyte products are solid enough...
It's just they change the names for everything and put all the settings in different places.
