Prebuilt system performance

Olsonknight · Aug 18, 2013

Hello, I recently got the idea to build my own PC for gaming and i'm unsure as to what games this can play. I want to do games like Gary's Mod, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Skyrim, etc.. So i'll link my build and tell me what you guys think. Thanks!

Are you planning to Overclock and what is the set price you can spend? I personally would upgrade your motherboard, and your seagate for 500 GB more would cost $5 more.

How about this?

I've upgrade ur mobo since 760G isn't designed for FX- CPUs at the beginning. An ASUS 970 mobo will be more solid.

And since Corsair CX 600W sells cheaper, go for it, don't limit ur wattage according to ur build and ignore this good deal.

Enough PSU for future XFIRE - i did not add a HEATSINK also note this is a 970 BOARD meaning SLI is not capable at least i believe.

Maxime that looks like a better build than I have now, and it's still in my budget of under $600. Will this run all of the games I listed? I'm still fairly new to building systems and such!

i recommend 750W PSU for future SLI

Maxime506 · Aug 19, 2013

Well @Olsonknight ur settings FX-6300 + HD 7870 pair can run the games u listed in at least medium or high settings. However for future gen games this pair needs to be tested, if u can grab a good 3rd CPU cooler and OC ur CPU if u feel ur performance isn't enough.
