Looks good! Just wondering how it will do performance wise for Dota 2, H1Z1, Minecraft, SC2? | ||

the 4570 is first gen haswell while the 4590 is haswell refresh, which needs a bios update on most of the cheaper motherboards to be supported (so if you buy the cpu+motherboard and it ships with the wrong bios, you'd have to send it back or use a first gen haswell CPU to bios update it), but isn't actually any better aside from minor clock speed boosts (4590 is probably 100mhz faster than 4570 with no other change) | ||

You could swap stuff out to OC CPU or get a 970/290 but probably need higher budget to do it with good quality parts the 4570 is first gen haswell while the 4590 is haswell refresh, which needs a bios update on most of the cheaper motherboards to be supported (so if you buy the cpu+motherboard and it ships with the wrong bios, you'd have to send it back or use a first gen haswell CPU to bios update it), but isn't actually any better aside from minor clock speed boosts (4590 is probably 100mhz faster than 4570 with no other change) So would you recommend sticking with the build you suggested or would a build with a 4590 be more suitable? Would increasing my budget to $700 help? | ||

generally OC CPU would be like ~1.25x faster while CPU bound, but GPU would have a lot more VRAM and ~65% faster | ||

If you want OC setup (4690k, different mobo, CPU cooler, faster RAM) then you can do that, same for faster GPU (970/290) generally OC CPU would be like ~1.25x faster while CPU bound, but GPU would have a lot more VRAM and ~65% faster Gotcha gotcha, thank you! Now last question and ill leave you alone haha, would you be able to make me a build that has a budget of $650 after taxes? | ||

Legally, you're suppose to pay sales tax on all purchases so even if you are not charged sales tax at checkout, you are suppose to report it when you file your taxes. But no one actually does this. | ||

If you live in New York and ordering something from Amazon, you will be charged sales tax because Amazon has a headquarter in New York.

Thank you very much! I didnt know this is how things worked when calculating price for buying computer parts so this clears up a lot | ||

That said, I'd take a hit on the GPU and get something like a 750Ti or r9 270x (if you can find the right deal) - If I read the previous posts correctly you're not looking at super graphic intensive games. IMO it's also the simplest part to upgrade. Personally, I've been fine with a 650 Ti but I really haven't played anything beyond sc2, HotS, dota 2 and cs:go. | ||
