ARK may be a problem, that game has some serious optimization issues. first time i played it with two 980ti's i had micro stutters texture issues and flat out crashes. Went to one card and it ran fine, but im not getting anyway near what i would expect a 980ti to achieve on a game like ARK 

 

Basically the point im trying to make is that ark is one hell of a hard game to run if you want good settings

I can run ark on all low with a i5 6500 and a shitty Gpu that is from 10 years ago

Re reading my post, i gave off the impression it couldn't be run. i was more making the point that on a pc in that price range, dont expect anything more than medium settings at the best

Well i would do something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mMz2t6 but maybe change the motherboard for something else ( and add a cooler master evo 212 (29usd) that for some reason it no longer figures in pc part picker)

Ok

I'm pretty sure the Barracuda is a slightly better and cheaper option than the WD Blue.
