Is this pc build any good?

[beachbum111111]

Hey all.

My old computer kinda died so I am going to try to make a custom computer and stuff

Are these parts any good? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qGDn

Are there parts that I can get cheaper but are decent and will last long? Keep in mind I want to keep my pc under 1000 bucks.

It's great, but I may suggest maybe you tone down the GPU, you can get by with less.

Will it bottleneck. What exactly happens when a GPU gets bottlenecked?

[allyorbase]

No, you have the same CPU I have, and it's the best value for money CPU in the industry. So good, and overclocks fantastically, mine's running at a steady ~4.1GHz at the moment.

So the motherboard and everything is good?

Get a 7850 and get better RAM, motherboard, and PSU. The mobo should be full ATX and the psu should at least be 80+ bronze

Full atx is no better, also ram isn't really that huge of an issue.

[beachbum111111]

What's the difference between normal tax and full atx?

Also found better psu http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qFjy
Is this any better and what else should I get? I am probably staying with this GPU so I can run games on max

The RAM is not a huge issue yes but it's better for like 10 more bucks if you get 1600 mhz. And as for atx/micro, none are better but the full ATX will have a lot more space to upgrade, and have more features, etc.

Can the motherboard support a gtx 560?

I agree the graphics card is overkill.

If it makes you happy, do it. No point building a system if you aren't loving every aspect of it, imo. But the editors of a gaming computer website wrote an article I just love that summed up the obsession with really pricey big graphics cards. They wrote...

It doesn’t matter to me whether I get 30 frames-per-second or 130. As long as the game plays smoothly, all the extra fuss for more frames that I can’t see anyway seems superfluous.

So if you want to save some dollars, don't overdo it with the graphics card. I personally couldn't advocate anyone buying a card worth more than $250USD. You are just dipping into pointless luxury then.

BUT if you can afford it and you want to secure your gaming experience for years to come, sure, why not.

I don't want my computer to become dated quickly like my last computer

[beachbum111111]

Ok how is this? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qGcu

I'd trade a slightly toned down GPU for a better motherboard. I also suggest staying away from ASRock motherboards, they failed me before.
