Gaming PC - Help

[xMattyDx]

Hello, this is going to be my first gaming PC build. I have games like DayZ, Arma (2 and 3) and CS:GO that I can hardly play due to poor fps. Therefore, I am looking for a PC that will give me good performance on Arma and DayZ as CS:GO is easy to run (obviously).

 

My build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/xMatty/saved/#view=PTjD4D

 

I have just got a few questions about the build.

 

Is it all compatible?

Is it worth the money?

What FPS would I be expecting on the games I mentioned before?

 

Thanks!

Seems fine, but you may want to get a r9 390 sense it does edge out the 970 in some games.

looks pretty good. check out benchmarks for those games with a GTX970.  

 

follow your topic.

Looks nice but i suggest getting windows 10 if you have the budget, it is nice.

This would be better for gaming.

He can just upgrade, it's sometimes cheaper

I would suggest R9 390 from msi or sapphire nitro, but if you want to go with Gtx 970 go woth gigabyte g1 gaming (better overclocking, performance and cooling)

I though you could only do that with copies of w8 that were acquired before the updates were available.

Can't you just download Windows 10 for free when having an older Windows?
