Hello there,

I am new to the pc gaming world and I have thought long and hard about building one. I have always been a console gamer and I'm now looking for a new something more exciting. 

After quite some research, I've come up with a 600$ built. It should give me 1080p with 60fps on high settings (I'm not quite sure about that, can you help me?) 

I have one question though, about the graphics card. Is it any good? I've read some reviews and it was allright. But I don't know if it is the right one. I'm maybe willing to spend a bit more on the graphics card (and maybe the processor that works best with it).

 

Here is the built:

-Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor

-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

-Asus B150 PRO GAMING D3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

-Kingston HyperX Fury Red 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

-Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

-MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card

-Cooler Master N300 ATX Mid Tower Case

-Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

I know that there are better combinations for a 600$ gaming pc, but please consider that I live in Belgium and that I cannot find all of the parts that you might give me.

So, if you have some suggestions on better parts in this price range. Feel free to put them down below and I will gladly respond to your guys' help.

 

Thanks for reading this,

have a wonderful day!

is the i5 6600 also a good option? It is 20$ more expensive but it has a 3.3GHz clocking speed instead of 2.7 from the 6500?

Also get a MSI B150M Mortar Board and G.Skill RipJaws 4 DDR4-2133 ram

than u should be fine
