Need help with a build

[Hzulqa]

Hey, I was wondering if this build will be able to run 1080p games on medium to high at 60 fps or more.  Also if I should change anything that would be better than what I already have.

Looks good

[EMENCII]

An SSD ^^ You wont regret it...

Totally depends on the game and settings.. But generally, yes.. You may get an occasional dip (again depending on game, settings and whats happening) but thats a pretty decent mid range build.

[grayblizzard]

You need at least 600 watt power supply so a little higher in price to get a semi modular one also this gpu is cheaper and better brand of cooler

Here is a build I would go with

More than enough, just don't pick ubisoft titles though. (double double post, really?)

If talking vram yes but power usage, temperatures, age, and speed are all in 970s favor so I think 970 wins

[grayblizzard]

Btw I am not an AMD hater as I have AMD gpu

Don't get Corsair CX, this XFX has a rebate - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

 

So is much cheaper and much better due to being Seasonic OEM

True, but I always here horror stories about rebates and how these companies do so much so I won't get a rebate.

Deffinately does NOT need a 600W PSU. 600W is right at that point of too much for a single card and not enough for dual.. Quality 450W - 750W for single and dual GPU set-ups (Unless going with higher end cards / processor with overclocks) is plenty fine enough.

It's not that, most people just don't have the patience to actually go through the hoops you need to in order to get them.

[AliveGhost13]

Ok, well without rebate still that is a much better power supply for the money, much better internal componentry than Corsair CX

[Hzulqa]

I'll make sure to look at the options then. I chose the corsair becuase it has the best reviews.

[AliveGhost13]

Best reviews?

From the same line of PSUs, I wouldn't call it a good unit after reading that

Okay, but usually they have a higher average. Maybe you could help me with findinga fitting PSU?

Have you sent in a rebate and successfully got it cashed? I very rarely here Sucess stories of rebate

All seasonic OEM, therefore quality componentry

Personally and being in Europe where discounts are at the point of sale or not there at all, No but I know plenty that have and all generally regard them as a PITA but doable if you follow the process.
