PC Build advice

They can use an external one or you can also install windows from USB but you have to have it on USB already of course :)
 
Should I wait till the i5 4690k comes out? Instead of buying the i5 4670k?

The only difference I see is the base clock speed is 3.4Ghz on 4670k and 3.5Ghz on the 4690k. Is their anything else to consider.

Basically when I look at a CPU I think faster the Clock speed the better the CPU but i'm convinced there will be other factors to consider.

Also I remember seeing that the 800 series has been pushed forward to Q4 of this year (Instead of February I think) so is it worth waiting for them? Plus by that time I will have a bit more money to put towards the system and other things will have come down in price if the 800 series isn't worth the money.

So a win win I think :)

Yeah there are a few other factors in that CPU that is worth waiting for, IMO. Mainly the Thermal paste, they have changed it, so it shouldn't get as Hot as the original haswells did, which means better OC performance. I've seen test sites get it upto 4.8ghz on a decent cooler and some have hit 5ghz (silicon lottery) where Haswell (non-DC) wouldn't fair well that those speeds.

Im not sure about the 800 series, not heard a huge amount about it.

Don't expect CPU, motherboard, RAM or SSD prices to fall. The only thing you can hope for is retailers getting rid of 700 series stock before the 800 series appears, which is counter intuitive to purchases (normally).

Ill give you an example, a week (maybe 10 days) before the 700 series came out i bought a GTX 670 PE from OC for £161. It has near been that low before and never again since. (incidentally i sold it 8 months later for £135).

Considering the GTX 760 is a (heavily downgraded GTX 670) the Prices are still not back to that level, nearly 10 months on. Granted the 760 has fallen from £200ish to £180ish.
 
Would it be pointless buying a i5 4690k and then buying 2 x GTX 780 ti?

Like would the CPU be good enough for two GTX 780 ti?

Or would there be throttling (Is that what you call it when one thing holds something back)

Maybe a little.

On a pure GPU based program, it won't, and on a single threaded game/application, No it won't.

But as games and programs are gradually getting more HT friendly CPU's are becoming bottlenecks.

Really I'd suggest a 4790k just for hyperthreading. AS it would be a waste if your CPU was bottlenecking £1000's worth of GPU. :)

Ok thanks for clearing it up. I thought I better make sure.

Do the h100i cooler come with everything needed to work out the box?

Also what kind of watt PSU will I need for and i7 4970k, 2 x 780ti, 2 x SDD 512GB, Crucial 2666mhz Dual Channel 8GB RAM (2 x 4GB), Optical drive 2 default case fans (Corsair 760t) and H100i Water Cooler but No sound card (Think that is about it) currently selected a 760w CorsairRM Modular but not sure If that would be enough

Sorry cant remember exact model names for all things I have in basket ( don't quote me on 2 case fans just a guess lol)

Always best to make sure.

Yeah the H100/H105/H110/H100i will work out of the box. :)

I think a Leadex PSU is a good idea.

The Leadex 850W would suffice.

YOUR BASKET
1 x SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £99.95
Total : £109.55 (includes shipping : £8.00).

 
I very been doing more research into processor and hearing that "Intel Pentuim G3258 Anniversary Edition" in gaming terms it's only just behind the "i7 4790k". Would you suggest the G3258 to save money personally I don't see why I shouldn't when it's like £60 compared to £270.

I will be only using the pc for gaming nothing else apart from Internet netflix etc

Can you link me to the reivew you read that said that?

I recall two review i looked at;

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/06/24/intel-pentium-g3258-review/5

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/pentium-g3258-overclocking-performance,review-32974-17.html

It doesn't come close to the i7.

In gaming terms, its by no means a bad chip atall but the i7 is beyond that.

Think of it in car terms, The Pentium is a Punto, it gets you from A to B, Handles Motorways well, can go pretty fast and do everything you need it to do.

The 4790k is a Nissian GT-R, it does exactly the same things as the pentium, dirivng to work, listening to music. But then... You decide you want to go to a track day, or You go to Germany (AutoBahn) and you're so glad you chose the GT-R instead of the punto.

You see what i'm getting at?

The pentium or an i3 would be great/good for current day games at decent/high settings. But the i7 is 'Master of all'.
'Games on Ultra at 1080p?' - Yes please.
'Games on Ultra at 1440p?' - Yes please.
'Games on Ultra at 144hz?' - Yes please.
'Games on Ultra at 1440p at 144hz?' - (maybe) Yes please.
'Lets editing an Hours long video' - Yes please. :)
