Is this a decent gaming computer? By decent I mean will it be able to play DayZ,BF4,Crysis 3, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and more upcoming titles on high+ settings. Of course it also needs to be able to do 1080p YouTube, Office, Photoshop, and other every day things? 

I'm trying to build a really cheap computer while still keeping high performance and having room to upgrade to what I actually want to build in the future.

Those cards are so much more though D:  I'm trying to spend less so I can build sooner. :P

 

What kind of psu do you recommend? I struggle when picking one out.

Have you considered something from the red team then if price is a concern, something like a 7950 or 7970?

I am good at computer

Keep the stock cooler, you will not overclock so there is no need for any better coolers. Crysis 3 kills the best of pcs so to run that on high then you may have a few problems. A radeon 7950 or a gtx 760 would be better much better. Which ever of the above cards mentioned is cheaper is the one to get.

Listen if you care.

Moved to New Builds and Planning section

 

Looks like a good build overall, I think the Kingston V300 would be a better choice of SSD though, and you should change your power supply to the Seasonic S12II 520.

 

Thanks for moving this to the right section.

 

I feel like an idiot for even considering the first psu and ssd after seeing the specs of the stuff you suggested. Lol 

 

 

 

 

I really like this build ;D 

 

Would I benefit in any way from more power?

Do you think it's a good idea to stick with the stock heat sink as suggested above?

 

 

Thanks everyone for helping me, I'm really impressed with the response time on this site!

That looks like a fine build.

 

No there isn't really a benefit to having more power than is optimum (~500W for a single graphics card, 750W for dual) it's just a bad idea to have a cheap power supply in terms of build quality though.  I'm not a big fan of the Corsair CX series personally although it's recommended a lot around here; in my experience they have made coil whining noises and aren't the best built.  It is a step up from the Rosewill though and if you're on a tight budget then that might be the way to go.  I'd trust it to work properly, if nothing else.

 

If you aren't big on overclocking then the stock heatsink will be perfectly adequate, although not the quietest.  Keep in mind you can always add an aftermarket heatsink at a later date if you want.
