I advise you to postpone the build to early to mid-July, AMD are going to launch their R9 300 series by then, you could buy the R9 380X, R9 390 or R9 390X which will offer better performance than the GTX 970, GTX 980 and Titan X respectively, due to the new architecture, HBM and, in the case of the 380X, more memory than Nvidia's offering, the 380X is also rumored to have HBM memory. If you don't want to go AMD, Nvidia will have slashed their prices in order to compete, so it's a win-win situation.
PS: new AMD cards will be DX12 and Vulkan compatible and have VSR, AMD's response to DSR.

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

i have been living for 5 month without a pc since my laptop have broken and my life has been like hell since then.
i can get a 980 it will serve for for some time and i will upgrade later. i don't think there will be a game that need more that a 980 for at least a year

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

So you would recommend getting all parts fron here and not from outside

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

If you don't have a PC, get everything but the GPU, and wait till AMD release their new cards, integrated graphics will run any game at low-to-medium settings and some (like TF2) at high settings. It's worth it to wait to get a good performing card at a cheaper price or a better performing card.

yes, i'm stuck with a dead motherboard that I got last year from USA, so even if you pay a 10% or 20% extra, it's safer to buy from here

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

guys what do you think about the Antec EA-750 PLATINUM 750W 80 PLUS Platinum power supply is it worth it?

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

As a general rule of thumb, Antec has the best PSUs on the market, all their PSUs have either Seasonic or Delta (which are actually even better than Seasonic if you can believe that) as OEM. If I were you, I'd get an Antec HCP-750W, it's 80+ Gold, frankly, 80+ Platinum is overrated, it's only 2-3% more efficient than Gold for nearly 20% more. But if you're forced to buy from Lebanon the Antec's by far your best choice.

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

The 980 will allow you to go without an upgrade for at least 2 years if you want to play on Ultra, as games are getting more graphics-intensive, people are moving up to 1440p monitors and manufacturers are switching to HBM memory.

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

a small suggestion .. if you like a single monitor setup go for a bigger screen (and if you have extra money make it a g-sync or A-sync monitor) .. if you are planning to add more monitors in the future then the 22" is fine.

As for the CPU cooler .. it depends if you want to overclock the CPU .. i have a similar setup ... i overclocked the 970 easily but not by much .. but i left my air cooled 4970k alone since overclocking it has no real impact on gaming. but if you want to get the most of your setup (overclocking your CPU) get a liquid cooler (h80i is a good one)

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

yes i'm planing for a triple monitor setup for the future so i'm going with 22".

i don't think i'm going to overclock my cpu  so i'll stick with air cooling.

thank you all for your help i will post pics as soon as i receive all the parts and finish building it.

I agree that you need a bigger screen

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

what size do you recommend?

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

I found that 27inch is the most relaxing size to use for all around purposes.

Unless the screen is 1080p. 21-24" is for 1080p, 27" is for 1440p, 27-32" is for 4K (although there are 24 and 25" 4K monitors).

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

Do you think the stock fans on the c70 will provide enough cooling or i should get more fans. And if that is the case what fans do you recomend (low noise and good air flow) ?

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

I highly recommend the CM 690 III check out the dust filters on the case before buying.

As for the FANS I recommend the Cougar CFD 14HB they are quite silent.

I have just made my PC Rig my experience is limited to my case and fans but I highly recommend both

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

The C70 is better than the 690 III, it's more well-built and looks cooler.

Re: Need your opinions on a custom gaming PC

yea that's true and it all depend's on the buyer's taste. I'm not saying the 690 III is better looking (the opposite is truw) but what I'm saying is that when buying a case cooling options and dust filters should always be a priority.
