I am using it primarily for gaming; I play primarily League Of Legends and other first-person shooter games. My goal is to have performance relatively close or a bit better than a PS4/XBoxOne.

Please let me know how my build looks and if there is anything I can do to improve based on my objectives.

The rough PC equivalent of the PS4 is an AMD 8 core CPU with a 7870 derived GPU.

The 4670k is an Intel processor so it's better for gaming (getting more FPS 'n' stuff) and other single core applications.

Since the 7870 gives around the same performance as the 270X, and the PS4's GPU is slightly clocked higher, you would need at least a R9 280 to have the performance as good as the PS4.

It's a good build overall though. It might be better off sticking with integrated graphics and saving money for a better GPU though since the 750 Ti is pretty much in the realm of media playback graphics card (correct me if I"m wrong).

Thanks I'm glad to know I'm on the right track. From reading reviews of the card on amazon, it seems people are happy with the performance claiming they are playing fps games on high and ultra setting with 70fps. Can anyone else provide some input on the card I'm considering?
