1) Is it possible to get 100FPs when playing game like BF4/Titanfall on high setting?

2) Is my power enough for this rig?

The performance difference between i7 4790 vs i5 4660 with the same graphic card isn't a big leap in gaming. It is not worth the money per performance for selecting i7 for gaming.

Why not choose a B85 mobo and i5 cpu then invest the rest of your budget on graphic card.

500W is enough if you don't intent to SLI.

 

[royfrosty]

100fps on single card not possible.

Anyway,

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 + i5-4690k ~ $545
Gskills Ripjaws 1866mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $117
Asus GTX970 4gb Strix x2 SLI ~ $1024 (AFTER Mastercard 10% discount on monday, Lazada.sg)
Seasonic X850 850w 80+ Gold Fully Modular PSU ~ $219
Corsair Obsidian 450D ~ $159
Corsair H100i Hydro ~ $150

Total ~ $2214. Buy at tradepac other than GPU, DIY.

Audio boost actually not much diff de... Is just sort of a marketing thing

@ hengheng220:
Audio boost = Audio card?

@ hengheng220:

Nope is an onboard sound card which enhances the audio sound quality, but in actual fact I hear no difference from my low-end laptop and the so called audio boost or Maybe because my earpiece (using tdk DB89 I think) is not high end enough to properly define the audio. Ah... But one thing to note is that they have the 6 audio port not sure found on other mobo ma.

For which price?

 

[sacredrays]

For which price?

2x 970 compared to just getting 1x 980...

btw, i prefer the z97 gaming mb but the 5 enough liao, no need 7.

 

[Trans-Am]

If i change my mobo & GPU, will it be better?
