Can this PC do it?

[Brian Park]

After researching and finding a lot of budget builds, I've been interested in this one particularly. Could anybody tell me how this would work with Mortal Kombat X and other games such as battlefield 4 and cs:go? If the build could be improved, please tell me so. Thank You

Yes, it's good. BF4 60+ fps on ultra. cs:go well in the 200's maybe hitting 300's.

Check prices, sometimes you can get a 280x sometimes for roughly the same price, and at that price point as well there can be better psu's to offer more uogradability.

I like how he's using i3 in his 500 dollar build but fx 6300 in a 600 dollar build

Lil bit more ($27 over) But much better build IMO... 960 ssc acx 2.0 is same price if you prefere.. and also watch for 280x sales in next few days.. but this is much better bang for buck.. (except maybe the case)

I would also like to mention that I would prefer a wireless card in there as well if you can. I'm one of those unlucky ones that can't hook it up. D:

Is it just me or does anyone else not like these types of videos? Just some teenager making an entire youtube channel voiceovering pcpartpicker lists with some random gameplay and music. Also, the people that would also watch this type of video for advice on picking parts for a PC probably don't even know how to build a PC. Like, at least make tutorials on how to build PCs and not just voiceover pcpartpicker lists saying that this is the BEST PC for absolutely ANYONE.

 

Also, i've seen a kid do one of these videos and pick an i7-4790K for his CPU and a 960 for his GPU saying that this was the "best" setup for gaming at this pricepoint and how this will max out most games at 4K. The sad part is is that this is a prime example of a majority of the videos like this. Uneducated teens choosing horrible parts on pcpartpicker making a youtube video out of it and becoming a "great youtuber" and a "computer expert".

(A bit of a hate rant there, buut theres something about all of these videos that irritates me and sets me on edge.)

Never and I mean never, judge GPU performance based off of CS:GO, it is so easy to run...

The MB had 4 slots so I would go with 2 sticks instead of one. I like microcenters in store deals and combos and they have some awesome GPU's on open box deals. Especially their CPU/MB deals. Frankly I feel AMD has better bang for the buck backed by a lot of research.

Guys I trust on Youtube are Linus, Jayztwocents, tek syndicate and ONOtech.
