Hello im building a PC the GPU ive got is a R9 270 MSI Gaming 2G is that good enough for 1080p Gaming and 4K on old games like Minecraft CSGO and Modern Combat 5 Blackout (On Win10 store designed for IOS and Android devices) If this is good enough then im happy with my build, other details of my build is 120GB SSD (Enough for me) Im using 16GB on a Chromebook and thats enough for me. other details is 8GB of DDR3 Ram (Kingston Hyper X Fury Black) a pentium G3258 processor and ID COOLING DK-06 and other than that the only details confirmed is NZXT S340 case it should come in at 550 AUD because we got the GPU for 101 AUD ( $86 minus shipping ) so is this good or have I made a mistake Im aware that I need a 1150 Motherboard and atleast a 500W power supply.

SSDnow V300s are pretty bad (I'm assuming V300 because of the price) and a pentium is quite terrible nowadays, that one you've picked is just an overclocker's toy. Something like an X4 845 would be much better.

I recently upgraded from my 270 to a 1070, and can say that the 1080p performance is great on the 270. I dont think you could run CSGO at 4k on it (i play CS as well) at least not very well, for $101 AUD, the GPU is an amazing price. is there any other games you play? or is it just Minecraft and CS?

 

My PC is running and I can't catch it....

The thing about the SSD was resolved earlier and yes I do mean the Athlon X4 845. Mainly because it has 4 cores.

So a R9 270 should be good enough. I could run BF4 at high at about 50 fps with some settings like AA turned off.
