[PB] My New PC!

Tue Apr 07, 2015 5:52 am

Recently picked up a nice PC from Best Buy. Sounds like another pre-built crap huh? Almost, but not there yet. I cant overclock it because it has a H97 on board. But it is upgradable.

Specs
CPU - Intel Core i7 (4790)
GPU - NVIDIA GTX 760 (reference)
RAM - 16 GB
HDD - 2 TB + My trusty 1 TB external!
(Asus G20AJ-US009) I think

Monitor: 1080p (I know its 2015 i need a 1440p at least, but no $$$) Asus MX279H
Really nice.

Full HD 1080p is completely fine, I'd reccomend getting a 144hz 1ms monitor though if you play FPS games / like your screen smooth as butter, haha. Other than that it looks like a really neat system, would you mind posting a picture of it?

I just thought I'd ask as you cannot overclock the Core i7 4770, it needs to be the K model. So you'd have to change both the Motherboard (to Z97 as you know already) and also the CPU.

But not like you need to the Core i7 4770 is fast as fuck.

I meant 4790, my bad. But yes you cannot overclock the Core i7 4770 or Core i7 4790. You can only overclock the K versions. 4770K and 4790K.
