Is this a good build

Muzzy2002

Can this build run every game on the market and if so where may it struggle?

 

Intel® Core™ i5-6400 (6MB Cache, up to 3.3GHz with Turbo Boost Technology) Includes Hyper-Threading

 

Windows 10 64bit

 

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 with 4GB GDDR5

 

8GB (1X8GB) DDR4 2133MHz SDRAM Memory

 

1TB (64MB Cache) 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s

 

Intel® 3165 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi Wireless LAN and Bluetooth

 

Case is to be decided later on

 

looking into doing liquid cooling

Don't waste money on liquid cooling for an i5 6400. A CM 212 Evo would be fine if you don't want to use the stock cooler. Also not sure where you got the hyperthreading info from, but the i5 doesn't have that.

Ok I may use the stock cooler then also what games do you think this can run?

Well if thats so your build can run everything at at least high at 60 fps. For ark, probably at high settings would be good and gta 5 will run with some setting turned off at max/high. Some lower end games can run at ultra tho

At 1080p you should be fine with pretty much anything. Some demanding games might require lower settings to get 60fps

I don't see a psu or motherboard listed. Do you already have those components ? Also try and fit an SSD into the build as it will load games so much quicker than a conventional hard drive.

It'll definitely run GTA V. A 750 Ti can run GTA V!

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD
