Well some games have some crazy settings that are intended for extreme PCs (titan X SLI) or for when you will play the game in the future, with these off you will get 60FPS :)

 

I've gone onto the pc specialist and typed in the specs that you listed with the 2 970s but it seems to come out slightly more expensive than the build I listed.

 

I'm assuming the  build I listed will allow me to add extra graphic cards such as another 4gb 970 later on?

Some people are saying the complete opposite here, :o

They mustn't have experience with a GTX 970 then, even with an i5 4440 mine maxed out any game.

Yes it will. http://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/Z97A/specifications/

 

Though I'd recommend a 750W PSU if your going to SLI, 650W PSU can struggle when you start overclocking everything.

pre built PCs are overpriced, building it yourself is easy, cheap and lots of fun :)

Which website do you recommend to building a pc, or did you buy the parts and build it that way? I would prefere getting mine build by a specials :P

Build it yourself it is really easy, I knew nothing about computers and after I watched few videos on youtube I build my PC withot a problem but if you are really afraid that you will break something just buy the parts and let someone you know build it for you or someone from PC service.

I'm personally going to get someone build desktop with  the parts for me, and then as time goes on I will replace the parts if I need to.

If you don't want to build it yourself then I would recommend Overclockers UK.

 

What is your budget ? Do you need a Monitor, Mouse/Keyboard as well ?
