i am currently working on building a PC and so far this is what I have made with a friend of mine but since I don't know much about computers I don't know if all of these choices are good. So I was wondering if Some people that know a lot about computers could guve me some suggestions on some parts I could maybe get better for around the same price (if not cheaper). And I also need a wireless adapter. So if u don't mind helping me with some parts I could upgrade that would be sweet. Also this PC is mainly going to be for gaming. Intel Core i5-4690K, MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Fractal Design Define R4 (Titanium Grey) - System Build - PCPartPicker Canada
I5 for modded minecraft? throw that processor in the trashcan, you need an I7 for the most intense modpacks, only GPU heavy thing in minecraft is the walruses from extracells
What would u recommend (as what model) as I said I am not the greatest with PC As it seems like the only model somewhat cheep Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
get something thats from 2012+ when it comes to i7, they seem to last awhile for me, and they are a noticable diffrence in speed compared to the i5 from what i've seen
Yea ik its pricy right now hoping to lower it 300 but still get good quality for most games if possible
i5 for modded mincraft will work just fine, i am rocking an ADM setup, my full system is cheaper the an I5 alone true story My Core AMD Athlon X4 860K - System Build - PCPartPicker Canada 3.7 Ghz Quad - Ram Clocks 2400 over your 1866 Your CPU Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (BX80646I54690K) - PCPartPicker Canada Most I5's cant hold a 2400 ram as TDP of an I5 is too low
AlphaRue - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker Canada slightly updated list, more of a gaming rig, increased ram, drastically better CPU, added sound card(preference), added additional video card + changed video cards, increased SSD to 256 + changed to mSATA, decreased HDD to 1TB, changed power supply to lower wattage but higher quality, added case fans the downside though is a $397.25 price change in the opposite direction from that you desire[DOUBLEPOST=1436500007][/DOUBLEPOST] AMD is most definitely better for the price, the only problem is intel cpus are significantly better for overclocking and multithreading, as well as having drastically inferior caches, which is only relevant while processing large amounts of data for long periods of time compare the details for the three CPUs Adrian's: Data Width 64-bit Socket LGA1150 Speed 3.5GHz Cores 4 L1 Cache 4 x 32KB Instruction 4 x 32KB Data L2 Cache 4 x 256KB L3 Cache 1 x 6MB Lithography 22 nm Thermal Design Power 88 Watts Includes CPU Cooler Yes Hyper-Threading No Integrated Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4600 Blade's: Data Width 64-bit Socket FM2+ Speed 3.7GHz Cores 4 L1 Cache 2 x 96KB Instruction 4 x 16KB Data L2 Cache 2 x 2MB L3 Cache None Lithography 28 nm Thermal Design Power 95 Watts Includes CPU Cooler Yes Hyper-Threading No Integrated Graphics No Mine: Data Width 64-bit Socket LGA1150 Speed 3.1GHz Cores 4 L1 Cache 4 x 32KB Instruction 4 x 32KB Data L2 Cache 4 x 256KB L3 Cache 1 x 8MB Lithography 22 nm Thermal Design Power 80 Watts Includes CPU Cooler Yes Hyper-Threading No Integrated Graphics No
I am not a wizard when it comes to buying the right parts and such, but building computers is something I can. If you are gonna build it yourself I recommend the youtube channel NewEggTV for instructions on how to do it. They have 3 videos ranging from showing you different parts for computers to building the computer and in the last video setting up windows and such.
@AlphaRue that updated list that you made what would that PC be able to handle? And tonalom thx for the channel that will help a lot as now I do t need to go through millions of other videos that are horrible
that PC would be able to stably handle basically any modpack, aswell as deliver high fps on more graphics intensive games, it should be able to deal with basically anything you throw at it, providing you aren't running like 13 instances of a heavily modded pack or like 10 of an FPS game, that is assuming you aren't going to to trying to calculate pi to a billion digits though .[DOUBLEPOST=1436527352][/DOUBLEPOST]if you want to reduce the price I could modify it to use an AMD cpu
Well i still need a wireless adapter for my PC And I might just keep that setup That just means I need to wait 2 more weeks to order it so I can get my pay check
Why do you need it to use wireless if you don't mind me asking? what's wrong with just running a really long cat6 cable through your house to the modem/router?!
As I don't got one of those outlets in my bedroom (where the PC would be) so that means a lot more work to put in.
doesn't matter much, those cpus still have 4+ cores (8 logical cores). In the end (with around 8 logical cores) I doubt there are many games that would run better with more, so the single threading power is still the bottle neck. So a 32 logical core possessor is worse for gaming than a 8 logical core one with a better single threading performance.
Honestly I think the i5 you currently have selected is a perfectly good choice if that's what your budget allows for, in terms of cost to performance ratio actually it's one of the best intel currenly has to offer. Why spent 100+ extra for only a ~10% increase in performance if you don't need to?!
