Hello everyone.

I am going to basically upgrading my whole pc with a new case, gpu, psu, cpu, and motherboard. I have been looking around for a little bit and have found these items, I would like to ask anyone on here for their advice on how these items are, and maybe if i should choose something else. I don't have a ton of money to spend so something in a good range to what I have already chosen.

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

GPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

PSU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Also, I am upgrading from AMD motherboard + cpu. Anything I need to know besides a reformat?

I wouldn't get any of those parts, what are your current specs, and what is your budget for the upgrade?

Could you just give me a solid number, for all I know the components you have selected would be over/under your budget.

May as well get a whole new build.

If you can do rebates;
Slightly over, add a HDD soon, but a 250GB SSD will last you for a decent amount of time;

If not;
Again $11 over;

OP- Are you wanting to OC? Clearly a locked CPU is not going to be suitable if you want to OC, which it seems you do, as you were looking at a 4690k and Z97 motherboard.

Good components, just a few opinions. If you had the extra money, I would get the GTX 960 4GB version because they're not too much more and it's worth the money. Maybe put a little more into a different motherboard, definitely does it's job but again, just an opinion. Lastly, if you can find a PSU that's at least modular, full modular is even better. It just looks better in the case when you don't have so many wires.
