first pc build

[eLuminator]

Im starting to transfer from console to pc, and I created a build. I was wondering if it would run games decently at high settings.

Should be pretty good, but I would bump up the GPU if you can afford it

looks good, but if you have any extra money bump the gpu up to a r9 280, r9 280x, r9 290 or r9 290x better yet a nvidia gtx 980, but the 980 is $550... so... maybe not...

Looks good I would look at some r9 280s I don't think they are that much more expensive than that. I also would reccomend Intel over AMD for gaming but the 8 core for 130 ain't bad

so how significant would the difference be between the 270x and the 280

My recommendation @eLuminator:

 

The AM3+ platform has no upgrade path at this point going with Z97 would be much better especially because the 4460 performs a lot better in games.

Worth it, but I think the 280x is the sweet spot for 1080p gaming
