Above 60 at low settings

At 4k? Or 1080p?

 

He has a 1080p monitor in there, so I'd assume the OP is referring to 1080p.

 

You should expect more than 60fps on Ultra in about any game you throw at it. The 280x is usually the card to goto for 1080p, so the 290x will be more than capable of handling any games you throw at it.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/24QMTW I will be using this PC to play games. What's FPS should I be looking at.

That's a very broad question... just google "r9 290x benchmark 1080p" and look for the game you play.

Anyway, if you dont buy this computer yet, I think we can easily make a better one for you. And why would you need 2 CD driver for anyway?

Well... what will you use this for? just gaming or alot of video rendering, 3D modeling etc as well?

Assume that you are just going to game and do normal stuff that's not heavy rending/modeling, then this

Plenty of room left for peripherals and any additions you want. It will perform the same in games as the build you posted for much less money.
