as the title goes, i wan to build my first gaming rig this holiday.
Im going all in for the GPU so i select a 970 GTX (probable jetstream from palit)
So based on that, this will be my target parts
Pentium G3258 CPU
a z97 Mobo
any cool looking case will do
a 1TB hard drive
4-8 gbs of ram
and a corsair cx series powersupply
of course a 970 GPU
Why a pentium? Im a little bit short of budget so im getting a cheap cpu first and im reading this is the best value cpu out there. Im thinking of getting a i5 K cpu in the future hence the mobo is a z97 chipset.
Question is, will the pentium and 970 combo ok? or am i expecting some bottlenecks? planning to play this rig with a 1080p resolution by the way. Any suggestion on the parts is welcome. You think this will be a good build? thanks in advance
