Hey

I got a budget off aproximately 1300$. I need help with parts, I want a computer that I can upgrade later.

Parts planned so far:

intel i5 4690

asus pro gamer 2xPCI

asus strix geforce gtx 960 2gb

corsair PSU 600w

kingston ssd 120 gb( got old sanddisk ssd 120 gb and 1tb seagate baracuda hdd that i'll mount)

hyperx furyx 16gb 1600mhz

corsair obsidian 450d

 

keep in mind that I live in norway and we got more taxes which makes almost all goods will cost 25% more :/

Will I be able to get alot of fps on high-medium graphics, I know I can't run ultra in many new games and expect to get over 60 fps. Later I get another card and I'll do SLI. Please help :)

Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, operating system? Or is the 1300 purely for the computer tower itself.

I would get a 380, 280 or 280X instead of the 960

If it's gaming you don't need 16GB, 8GB is fine for gaming 

I would switch out the PSU if it's a CX/VS/GX/CS and get a better XFX or Seasonic PSU or EVGA B2/GS/G2

 

Tip: A stronger single card is always better so unless you have high end cards which( the 960 or 380 doesn't quite fall into) you should never SLI or Xfire weakers cards it's pointless
