Just ordered parts for my first PC and was wondering weather or not i could play in 4K games like LoL or even heavier stuff as well. I still dont have a 4k monitor, but when they become less expensive I would love to know if i have to upgrade to run games in 4k. I would also appreciate any feedback or just commnets on the system, seeing as it is my first.

Most games ultra 60+FPS 1080P. LoL should be able run just fine at ultra 4K, but not every game will without turning some settings down.

Minesweeper at 500+ fps

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

550 watts is fine for a R9 290.

 

edit: OP you can run just about every game at 4k, but the newer ones (AAA titles) you'll have to turn the details down to medium-high without AA. LoL will run at like 400fps at 4k.

I would suggest changing that PSU to atleast a 650 watts good quality one. I had issues with my 290x with g600w from CM (it black screens every so and then until i changed to my current PSU)

But this is more powerful than the budget 4k that linus did a video on recently, which played league maxed at 4k. So expect this to play league maxed.

R9 290 (the whole system) uses 381 watts under load, he's perfectly fine...

Good thing i can run lol at 4k... its basically dominates my gaming time now a days O.o

 

What about overclocking? Doubt ill do it now, but maybe in the future, so do you think it is possible or some upgrades needed (like psu)?

I had personal experience with my setup with a 600w PSU and it blacked out every so often. My psu was g600w 80+ bronze and yeah right after i changed my PSU i didnt had that trouble ever again.

It was your PSU's fault then, there's no way your setup was drawing even close to 600 watts.

You will be able to play most games on 4k ultra but not AAA games because of their ridiculous textures and quality.
