Hi i am new to build Pc's as I have been a console gamer and loved it. However i love pc games. at the moment I have a mac book and can play things like garys mod and cs-go but i would like to start playing more games. So as it is christmas / birthday i want a pc. I am asking how much fps would i get with this and would it all work ? And thoughts ? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/zzZBBm

It would work, but it's a massive waste of money for gaming. 

 

EDIT: Actually, it wouldn't work, there's no PSU. 

 

I'll make you something much better for that price range.

Apparently the NEX series from EVGA are crap. (According to some people) Gs/G2/B2 are better.

I would go for a GS or G2 if you're going down the EVGA route for PSU. The NEX series isn't great.

 

 

Apparently the NEX series from EVGA are crap. (According to some people) Gs/G2/B2 are better.

Not crap, but there's better options for the price. Bit like the RM series from Corsair, they're not bad, but if you're buying new it's better to go for something else.

Change the V8 to a Corsair H100i GTX

Get 16GB RAM in 4GB Sticks

Get a 1 TB HardDrive and a 120-250GB SSD

Get a EVGA 980Ti

Get a EVGA 750W G2 PSU
