i will be gaming at 1080p 60fps on a single monitor and want to play all the latest games like battlefield 1 (when it comes out) at decent video settings.

 

for the pc i listed above, are there any games the cpu will not be able to handle or is it ok? Im looking to cut back on money if possible so if there are any parts you see that i could get a bit cheaper that would be great! And lastly should i go with 4gb vram or cut back to 2gb? I feel like i should have 4

 

EDIT: Could i use a 15 6400 instead of an 6500 or stay with 6500?

 

thanks!

i5 6500 is better bang for the buck

To save money you could get a cheaper case and a 500w PSU, and maybe a non gaming branded motherboard, Generally asrock is very price competitively priced, just make sure not too expect much from a $60 board and look at lots of reviews. Also is this in Canadian dollars

this saves you some money without lowering performance. Not happy with it though. I'll do a full overhaul in a minute.
