    7 replies, posted
Hello there, Since my current build is getting pretty slow and outdated, it's time to build a new one. My budget is 1300 € and I want to use the Rig mainly for Gaming. I already tried to build one myself, but i am not an expert and when it comes to things like Motherboard, Power Supply and Ram I have no clue what i am doing. Here's the build...thoughts? : [img]http://i.imgur.com/w1xsQIh.png[/img] Maybe you guys can help me out. thank you..
you don't really need an i7 for gaming, and you might wanna bump it up to 8gb of RAM, otherwise i can't see any issues with it

I want to buy a second Gtx 970 in future to use in SLI. Is a i5 still enough for SLI ? thanks for the reply
a good i5 should be just fine (i think 4690k is the one you'd want), you might need something like a 700-750w (or higher) powersupply for two 970s, but I dunno much about SLI so maybe someone else can say for sure

I will wait for more thoughts tho...
Get a cheaper mobo. MSI Z97, g45 gaming for example. This is way overkill.
Alright, bought the parts. I changed the Powersupply to a 730 W one. thank you guys :)
