First Gaming PC Build

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KttHmG Will this PC run games like GTA 5 & Ark in 1080p 60fps?

[Muz]

No, that 960 wont.

[InvolvedPvP]

No, that 960 wont.

what about a R9 280x

[Muz]

what about a R9 280x

Ehh, probably a bit better than the 960.

[Swegly]

No, that 960 wont.

You're probably right about it not running ARK at playable frames (cough cough terrible optimization) , but on any other game that card will easily obtain 60 fps 1080p med-high settings, maybe even high-ultra.

[TheRandomness]

If you aren't editing or anything like that 8GB is enough RAM but you can go with 16GB if you want. What's your budget?

I'm sayyinn max settings GTA5.

[Swegly]

I'm sayyinn max settings GTA5.

No you cannot max that game 100%, but you need an overkill rig to do the advanced settings.

[Bangflop]

I would change out the ram for just 8 GB and get a GTX 970.

I wouldn't really count the advanced settings as max, but other than that my 390 can run everything in normal settings tab on max.

Mid settings should do nicely.

 

No, that 960 wont.

It won't huh

 

 

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Budget?

 

EDIT: I'd get a 970 just to be safe

[Mohenjo]

i would go with this

you can get windows of g2a for 30 bucks to save money. but spending the extra 30 is way worth it

Check around and make sure the CPU won't bottleneck the 390 if it does you'll have to get a better CPU or downgrade the GPU, I understand if you want to go with a gtx card but with an 800 dollar budget an AMD would be better IMO.

On your part list there is no price for the PSU, do you already own it? what about the case?

get the 4590 as it's close in price to the 4460. no point in getting the 4460 now. try and squeeze in an r9 390 or a 380 @ 4gb vram. you can do this by getting windows on g2a and getting a b85 motherboard
