Hey crossies ":D", thinking of finally building new PC and thought maybe I need some help, this time im not buying a budget PC which been around 500e always for me
So far I've collected these parts:
MSI geforce 960 gtx 4gb ddr5
Intel Haswell i5-4960K LGA1150 3.5ghz (have to buy some cooler for it, suggestions?)
Asus z97-P ddr3 (motherboard)
Crucial 250gb ssd
And as a rig bitfenix's some cheap shit (40e)
together these all come out with 769€, I know its still missing some parts, thats why I wanted to ask if these components even work out together and is my 8gb of RAM (ddr3) still legit with these, or do I need to buy ddr4 or ddr5 with these? Thinking of also buying that amazingly proleet 144hz monitor, checked that the cheapest (from Asus) was 310€. I don't want anything from BenQ or Acer, heard those monitors actually destroy the colors :-( Since I do other stuff beside from playing and play some other games than online FPS games as well, I want the colors to be reasonable good. And also, is there anything which should I change to some cheaper, or better with around the same money cost? Not going to buy 970 gtx, dont want to spend over 400 on a graphics card. Thanks in advance, even if you aint gonna help me out though :)
EDIT: Oh, and is my Corsair 600w enough to run this kind of PC, or do I need to renew that aswell? Its around 3 years old now

For a cooler just check something on youtube which is quiet, they are usually all decent unless they are extra cheap
Whatever, in case of games optimalized for nvidia, nvidia cards got up to 5% better performamce comapred to radeon cards in the same price class. Im case of games optimalized for radeon, radeon cards got up to 20% better performance than nvidia.
thats kind of joke considering fact nvidia was actually known in past for very short life time and very high working temperature. My old GTX 285 been getting over 125 C after few minutes in benchmark (120 C was a normal temperature under average pressure). As far as i remember it was nvidia's standard till 600 series. My 14 or 15 years old radeon 9200SE, which was used from time to time till now is still working fine.
Im not a fan of radeon, i was really confused picking out between amd and nvidia too.
both cards cost the same in pl
also that radeon card got lower power needs than gtx960

Radeon Pro Duo > Everything from NVIDIA
Fury > GTX 980/Ti on 4K
290X > 970 on high resolutions, below WQHD the 970 is faster.
390/390X > 970
380X > 960 http://www.anandtech.com/show/9784/the-amd-radeon-r9-380x-review
But on DirectX 12 the 290X is on the same level as the 980Ti!
Scythe Mugen 4 has a good price/ performance ratio cooling wise.
Do you want to overclock? Because if not than a Z series motherboard and a K processor is useless
What kind of Crucial SSD is that? If it's a BX200, don't buy it, since the BX100 is better.
What kind of Corsair PSU do you have currently? Since not all Corsair PSU's are great quality, especially the CX series are not that great. And you should not use a really old power supply.
What is the reason that you want to buy a GTX960?
Thanks, thought about going for a liquid cooler but then again no thanks for liquid shit!
Most likely at some point, thats why good cooler is needed
Dont have any idea about SSDs, care to explain?
Its CX series, other friend said its cool for it..
I wanted GTX960 because it is a lot cheaper but my friend said fuck it, buy GTX970 asus strix now cause it fits to my motherboard and buy the rest stuff later (gets too high price for my salary when rent and bills and other living is combined)
I love liquid cooling, but i have a custom water cooling setup, much better than the AIO liquid coolers. For most users high-end air cooling is the best solution.
The CX series is not really know for quality. How old is it? If it's 3 years or so replace it.
I would not buy the GTX960 or GTX970 anyway, maybe better to buy a cheap card for a half year or something and than buy the new generation, the GTX970 is already 1,5 years old. You can play ET on integrated graphics easily btw ;)
The Crucial BX100 is faster than the new BX200 :)
