That gpu can not run games at "ultra 4k, 100000fps" its for casual gaming

judging from your description for what its for, you should be fine

Im selling a Asus 750ti OC version gpu $90 with shipping

If youyre interested, contact me, and we can negotiate

Could do with a better PSU and GPU. You should also make the switch to Skylake and DDR4 RAM.

i like it, but id say that if you can spare some cash for an unlocked chip and cooler, youd get a better system that would last longer.
