Is this build good enough for Overwatch

[NunterHing]

Processor: AMD 8-CORE FX-8350 4.0Ghz (~4.2GHz Turbo)

Cooling: Heavy Duty Cooling Solution

Motherboard: AM3+ Motherboard, USB, SOUND, LAN

RAM: 8GB Kingston / Corsair / Crucial PC1600 DDR3

SSD: 120GB (~128GB) SATA SSD

HDD: 1000GB (1TB) SATA 3 7200 RPM 6GB/S

Graphics/Video Card: GTX 960 4GB

 Is the $1444 asking price fair (keeping in mind that I live in Australia)?

any suggestions on improvements that could be made that will give better performance for lower price etc.

Windows 10 is also included in that price. I know that this is a lot of questions but if I were to overclock the gpu what results could i get out of it then?

That sure is good enough

even a bit overkill

Get the RX 480 if you can

That is a very good build for overwatch!

It's more than enough for overwatch. Price is a little high though could build this yourself for a fair amount less but pre built systems this pricing is pretty common. 

 

I live in Australia too mate,  you could probably source the gpu second hand of you want one that's much more powerful. I would wait until the 480x is out though then take those specs you posted and source it all manually for best prices and work the 480x into it.

 

If the 480x does indeed come in the 200 dollar bracket you could build a 512gb SSD into this build and that GPU for this price.

Very high price for what your getting. It will run overwatch fine.

if you're buying that... I would drop the fx.. its rly outdated... 'coming form amd fan' its sad but true... get an i5 or i7, and if you can wait a bit for 480 its gonna be much better than 960 price/perfomance

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could maybe setup a build that offers the same performance that I would be able to put a 480 in within the next couple of months (still keeping windows in it though).

Yea sure I could do that,  I Can't say when but sometime this week.  

 

A few key notes,  you could easily get 16gb of ram which can be argued as  recommended fairly cheap good ram too gskill memory perhaps. 

 

One point to consider is AMD Zen is coming later this year which may actually compete with Intel.  Others are right current AMD is far behind in the CPU market.
