HDD = WD caviar black 1tb

Case = aerocool gt-a

PSU = corsair cx750m

In 1080p, yes. Only if you don't mind turning down the settings a bit in demanding titles.

Sure you can. If you upgrade your CPU, that'd be a lot better. Also consider buying an SSD, because the HDD will always be a bottleneck imho.

Yup. 1080p is enough for me. But based on gamedebate site i cant play dying light? I really wanted to that game.

Dying light

Crysis 3

And dota2.

Does SSD and HDD really matter? Maybe i do have a plan of buying one. But my idea was to use it only for my OS then the other stuffs would be at the HDD

Yes, SSD is a lot faster than HDD. SSD for your operating system and some programs that you use frequently. HDD should be used for everything else.

So what does SSD really do? I dont have any idea. I've seen some vids on youtube but those comparison are just for boot time(which i really dont care, as long as it does take too much time like the windows updates. LOL) does it affect the gaming performance of the pc?

SSD makes your Windows run faster. It won't really affect the gaming performance, but loading maps in FPS or other types of games will be a lot faster.

I see. So do you recommend any SSD for OS? Maybe below $100 and btw i really dont trust PNY brand. Just my opinion thou.

I have Crucial MX100 256GB, which costed around $112 at the time I bought it. You probably could get it cheaper or else you can go with the 128GB version. That's plenty for Windows and a few other programs.
