Gaming?

[Watson304]

Okay so I have this rig set up or about to and was wondering will this be about to handle 1080p games? I'm not going to completely change the graphic dramatically butmostly will leave it at default.

Also I'm trying to keep this at $800 with tax and all.

If you have any suggestions please leave them down below and explain so I can get an idea and replan or for a future use. 

Thanks

See,so good but Imo I wouldn't go the i3 since it doesn't feel right or very good (not that I am saying it is bad) especially since it has a 970 with it

Is Wi-Fi a necessity for your current situation?

Sadly yes I do need.

Where are you located that has a 15% tax about?

Amd isn't really my thing. I understand intel better and all so yeah. Unless you want to help with the motherboard and cpu chipset

I'm at 10% and 736 +73 is about 809 so it's not too far off.

About 627$ before rebates. Right chipset so no worries. Only might need a bios update. Amd apus can use cpu ram for graphics so high clocked ram will give you alot of extra fps. The R7 250 is there for dual graphics, which should boost your performance even more. Plus, ssd and 2 tb storage.

Okay cool so I did a few research and all here what I came up with.

That CPU is going to be a major bottleneck to that gpu. When going amd it's better to go APu with fast ram and dual graphics
