Thoughts on this Gaming PC?

[BenKavanagh]

1080p, 60fps, single monitor gaming. The goal is to run Battlefield 1, when it comes out, and on decent settings. Also would play games like gta v, fo4, witcher 3, etc.

Yeah, that build will be fine but I don't think Coolermaster makes good PSUs. If so, go with the EVGA G2/P2 series PSU and also you may want to get yourself an HDD for extra storage. 240GB won't last long.

The V series is great, but since this is a G I would avoid it if I can.

Try this board

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-h110mprovd

And this PSU, 600W from seasonic at only 69 CAD

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss600et

Also consider waiting for polaris, you're going to end up with about 20% more performance for the same price, just gotta wait maybe 2 months potentially, though the 380 will be fine for 1080p gaming anyways

Although that would let you put your money towards a 1080p 144hz free-sync display, so if you feel like being patient pick up a used GPU or something sometime while you wait

That 6500 will get terrible performance. Sign up for Intel Retail Edge (you can lie if necessary, they don't check your info). And you can buy a 6700K for $100 starting May 11th

 

Wait for the GTX 1070 to come out. FAR FAR FAR  better performance for only a slight price increase. Also, games like Battlefield have always had better performance and less graphical problems with NVidia. (If you want to fork out $600 for GPU, GTX 1080 is the way to go, GTX 1070 for $379)

Is BF1 even out yet?  How the hell do you know how the 6500 will perform?

 

The 1070 will cost twice as much as the R9 380 here in Canada.

The 6500 struggles to get 40 FPS in Dying Light on 1080P. On every combined testbench I have ever run, the 6500 is always the bottleneck.

The 6700K, non OC, got 73 FPS, over 75% increase. OC, well, havnt played Dying Light yet since I OCed, still doing stability tests (only OC'ed Sunday)

No it won't?

Also polaris should also be on par with the 1070 in the 480/490X

Probably announced/released around the same time as pascal

 

the board just has solid power delivery and USB 3.1 support, the power supply is simply better for less money, build quality and component wise, it seems very rare that seasonic makes a bad PSU

It's getting 60fps at 1200p here with even AMD quad cores

Do you realize that it is your GTX 960 holding your frame rate back?  I played Dying Light with an i5 3570K(stock) and a R9 280.  I had to turn down some settings because of the 280, but was able to get a 45 FPS minimum stable in the game while keeping it looking great.  I would bounce between 45-70+ FPS.
