Hey, I play stuff like Nascar, BF4, Minecraft and TF2 so I wanted to know would this be able to play games like this on high or ultra heres the specs https://pcpartpicker.com/user/hartss300/saved/bpKTwP tell me what you think.

Not that good

 

1. the fx 8350 is old, some i3 cpus tend to outperform it in some cases

2. the gtx 960 4gb may not utilize all the vram due to its 128bit bus

3. pls do not get a cx psu.

 

Get an i5 4460 and a R9 380 4gb. and u will be good to go :)

An i5 would do better in most, if not all games. Other than that, great (aside from the CX PSU).

It can utilize all of it's VRAM just fine.

Even the 1100T can outperform the 8350 in terms of IPC.

The power supply is trash. Dont' buy it.

 

The CPU is meh. You'd be better off with an i3 or a 4460, since games aren't very multithreaded anyways.

some games, like gta v ,acu will benefit from the 4gb, but other games like metroLL, there will be no difference from the 2gb model.

That doesn't address what I said. Of course some games won't benefit from the VRAM, but what you were saying was that they physically couldn't use all 4GB due to the 128-bit bus, which is untrue.

and I do more than gaming to I also do everyday stuff and rendering 

The 8350 will have random frame drops in games. For rendering and overall better performance get an i5 or a Xeon E3.

 

EDIT: or an i7 lol but it's expensive for what you're doing.

someone say yes or no WILL THIS DO WHAT I WANT IT TO DO YES OR NO

 

That thing the oger posted will do 10 times what you want at the same time. Effortlessly, as if it could do it another 10 times at a time.

someone give me a Yes Or No please and I would change it to a psu like this https://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0650v1

 

PSU: yes.

 

CPU: no. You will get abominable gaming performance, so bad that it will make you puke onto your keyboard, and wish you had done so onto your shitty PC instead. Get this instead:

no, it can't. The memory bandwidth is pitiful. The 380 has almost double thus why it can actually use it
