I am currently attempting to build a mid range gaming computer with the folowing specs... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k 3.5 GHz GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4gb Super SC ACX 2.0+ MOB: MSI ATX DDR3 2600 RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 1600 HDD: Seagate 3TB Desktop SATA 6GB/s 64MB Cache DVD-RW: Asus 24x serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical (Black) OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OEM DVD ( Only buying this so I can get Windows 10) Thermal Paste: ARC Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5 Grams Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 612 Ver.2 - Silent CPU Air Cooler with 6 Direct Contact Heatpipes and Folding Fin Structure PSU: Corsair CX750M Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case With High Airflow ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Frame rate should I expect with this setup on new next generation games like Grand Theft Auto V
60 frames per second at high or medium levels based on your resolution, delivering near-perfect results for your needs.
In GTA V, performance will be solid, ranging from 60 to 80 frames per second.
Are you mainly focused on gaming? It seems a bit off the balance... What would it cost to go with a non-K and a h97 motherboard instead of the more expensive z97? Also, the PSU might be too much unless you're planning something big. If you can fit in a 970 or a 290x with a non-K i5, you'd see a big boost in gaming performance. Others might want to share their thoughts on this as well.
It should work well, but I recommend lowering the power to around 500 or 600 watts. Even with maximum load using a R9 390X and a six-core i7, Eurogamer achieved 500 watts. Your setup consumes less power overall. For the i5, consider switching to a Hyper 212 Plus; it handles overclocking efficiently without extra cooling costs. You might also lower memory speeds unless you plan heavy video editing, which won’t improve performance much. I’d suggest buying a GTX 780 on eBay for about $250 (comparable to a GTX 960 4GB) – it delivers top performance at 1080p and offers great value. If you make any mistakes, PayPal will refund you.
