It's my 16th birthday comming and im going to get a gaming computer, but the problem is whenever i build a system on http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ i have a feeling im going over the top and that im willing to pay for something i really might not need. And here's my question to you guys is the builds below over kill for playing games like titanfall, bf4, elder scrolls online, gw2, ect @ 60-120 SOLID fps with highest or near highest settings?
