How will it run these games? R9 270x AMD A6-6400K

Darcy770 · Feb 15, 2014

How will this PC build run Battlefield 4, Arma 3, Total War: Rome 2 and Crisis 3?

The components are:
CPU: AMD A6-6400K
Graphics Card: R9 270x
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PV - LGA 1150
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
PSU: Termaltake Litepower 600W

And also is a Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD reliable? And should i buy a different CPU fan or just use the stock one?

No, that motherboard will NOT work with that CPU.

Use this motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-fm2a55mdgsr20

What setting do you want to play the games at?

1080p bf4, arma 3, and crisis 3 at medium to high settings and i dont have any preference for total war but at least 40 fps

Very well for all of them, but how much are you paying for the R9 270X?

The A6-6400k will bottleneck the R9 270X, you'll need a better CPU.
WD blue are great drives.
How much are you looking to spend?
Do you need a OS?
Do you need a case?
Do you need a Optical drive?

my budget it $850 no including the OS. and i have a case and an optical drive. is there any problem with the ram i had put down or did you include that because it was a cheaper option? the case is a Thermaltake Black Commander MS-III Mid Tower Chassis will this be large enough?

Not to be mean but that case's PSU mount is on top (Better on bottom, PSU get fresh air what way and you will have better air flow with no wire hanging down and top exhaust, heat rises), No fan slots on top, no cable management.
