Hi …
i want to buy a new PC for better performance and high FPS and more …
what do you think about this config ?
CPU Intel Core i7 4790
MB Gigabyte H97 Gaming 3
VGA Gigabyte GTX-970 WF X3 4GB DDR5
RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB 1600 4GBx2
HDD WD Blue 1TB 7200Rpm 64MB
SSD Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
CPU Cooler Green Thermal Right True Spirit 120M Bw Rev.A
POWER Green GP650A-UK 80Plus Gold PSU
Case Green X Eagle Gaming
Monitor LG 23MP65HQ
Everything is fine, but i wouldnt get that RAM. Ram speed is not so important, you can save a bit using other ram. and in a pc like that built for heavy development, you are better with 16 gigs of ram
Indeed 8 gigs of RAM is far too low.
Remember to give a consideration as to how much over clocking you’re intending to do. I’ve found many stock fans are actually more than capable of handling a little bit over over clocking. This includes CPU overclocking. If you’re not intending to overclock the CPU you’d be best off going with a Xeon processor instead as it is a bit more price efficient, but cannot be overclocked.
You can scrap the SSD … there isnt much difference when working with UE from classic HDD and from SSD. I have 16GB of RAM and it’s still not enough in some cases, so it’s definitively a minimum 
I’d only get a SSD if you can afford a 256gb version, it really speeds up boot times and the time it takes to load applications and large files, which you’ll be working with a lot. Definitely worth it.
Thanks, so i upgrade RAM to 16GB …
before this i decided to buy a 4790K and Z97 then changed it to that system because i didn’t want to use OC
everyone said SSD is important for more speed and reduce loading time … yes i changed RAM to 16GB
I think 256GB price is too much …
Thank You All
You can get a 240 gig SSD for about $80 on sale, 120 gig are typically $50, they aren’t really that much more. 120 is really too small for install windows and all of your applications, my 240 gigs is constantly close to capacity because of of UE4 and other applications.
in my country
120 GB SAMSUNG 850 EVO: 102.9$
250 GB SAMSUNG 850 EVO: 160.9$
Absolutely stick with stock fans if you’re not over clocking. There is no reason to have an after market cooler if you’re leaving it as is.
There’s a bunch of SSD brands and models, is that your only option?
really ? i don’t need Thermal Right True Spirit 120M Bw Rev.A ?
no it’s not only my option but …

Let me say that your choices are all excellent, and are pretty much exactly what I would choose if I had your budget.
When you read the recommendations, please bear in mind that this is a desktop you are getting. This means you can upgrade everything later.
The Samsung Evo is a great SSD, but the Corsair MX100 is slightly cheaper, and is also very good. I would also recommend 256Gb.
High-tech RAM is pretty unimportant. Of all the upgrades, nothing has a worse return on your investment than RAM speed. Just get 16GB, n1600MHz DDR3 from a good manufacturer and ignore the XTREME!!!1!! branding.
If you want to save a bit of money to spend elsewhere, you could look at AMD’s 290 or 290X. They are not as efficient as the 970, but close to its performance.
I would still recommend the aftermarket cooler, even though I do not recommend overclocking as a rule. Your PC is FAST. You don’t need to push it further.
Totally correct and this is what I went in with. PC… unlike a Mac are easy to upgrade. I got an I5 4460 with 8 gigs and its running UE4 just fine.
Yeah. Back in say the 90s when you were custom building it was generally a good rule of thumb to go with after market coolers since the ones you got stock were ****. These days it is expected that your CPU and GPU be well maintained with stock coolers. Since I went with a Xeon over an i7 due to its similar performance at a lower price point that denied me over clocking my CPU I just stuck with the stock fan and even though my office can often get hotter than it is outside in this California heat there has never been an issue with any of my components getting even slightly near too hot.
Just make sure you apply the thermal paste properly.
I like the Samsung EVO personally. I found it was difficult when I was putting together my office machines because it wasn’t as clear cut with regards to available information comparing SSDs. Eventually I found various benchmark speed testing and charts listing SSD speeds relative to one another and the EVO was near the top (no I"m not going to spend an hour going to look for that stuff again, all on you if you want to delve into comparisons). But my suggestion is to stick with the EVO. Though on a relevant note, that speed might be slightly more important for me as I chose to eschew HDD and go only two 500 GB SSD.
totally i bought that PC today 
I have a question, i want to use extended display on two IPS LG 23MP65HQ monitor … but that VGA has only just one HDMI port ! how i can get best qulity …
1- buy just a vga to DP converter
2- buy two DP cables and two DP to HDMI converter
3- buy two HDMI cable and two HDMI to DP
4- buy one HDMI and one DP cable + DP to HDMI converter
1- No don’t do it, the only want to get a decent analog signal out would be to get a DVI to VA connector for the GPU and use it on the correct DVI port (the one with the + with the 4 dots). This would be the ideal cheap option, and you might already have a DVI to VGA adaptor, I have 3 laying around.
4- The better option would be to just get one DisplayPort to HDMI Video Adapter Converter and then just use an HDMI cable. So option 4?
i was looking into SSDs, im not sure if its still a problem but some people were complaining of SSDs getting bricked in a power failure, after doing some looking i fell in love with this cyberpower unit(i needed one anyway) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842102134 supposedly for a power supply like you have, you need something with a sinewave or your pc will power off anyway. Every PC needs a UPS. Also for the little extra cost, the samsung 850 pro has a 10 year warranty, its like 30$ more for 5 more years with better memory. 250GB is def a must. Though to be honest im having problems with my SSD and had to RMA it. Samsung is telling me they are not compatible with some chipsets but they dont publish which ones. as a result you dont get the full IOPs performance. im still waiting on further info from them now that ive sent the system specs and the drive is on its way back to newegg since im thinking samsung is full of **** and doesnt want to admit to a faulty drive. ive seen countless people with this exact same problem and nearly identical performance loss on a brand new drive with nobody finding a solution.
Actually, VGA supports 1080P @ 60Hz, so you can still use that. If you like buying cables, though (:)), then getting an HDMI cable and an HDMI-to-DisplayPort cable seems to be the best way. (Adaptors seem to cost as much as a cable, and you still need to buy the second HDMI cable, as well). Local prices may be different where you are, though.
Hi guys …
I have a problem with dual monitor extended …
both monitor are lg 23mp65 but and i use a hdmi cable for one of them and the other has DVI to VGA converter and using VGA cable to connect …
but the VGA connected monitor has better quality no matter which one is using VGA both settings are same i tested with both monitor…
but the hdmi connected has lower quality than VGA you can see in picture was taken with my phone for better understanding … left is HDMI and right is DVI to VGA …
Does the VGA slot come from the GTX970 or the mobo?
