Hey guys, I put this build together last night and I was just wondering if this build could play WoW, CS:GO, DayZ, Arma 3 and games like that on Medium-High settings always 40+ fps and POSSIBLY stream them too?

Also is all this stuff completely compatible and is this everything I would need to get started building this baby tomorrow or are there any other things I'd need to buy before I could get started.

Change the 212 plus to 212 evo - it is worth the lack of discount. Evo is better than plus.

Change the stick to 2 sticks kit of 4 + 4. You need to utilize dual channel, or you lose performance.

That power supply is:
1 - not enough
2 - junk

Corsair CX series use low quality capacitors. Unless you never load the PSU over 50%, I would never put a CX inside a computer. That CX 430 can only output 350 real watts. Running 60 watts for the system + 70 for the CPU + 150 for the video card is 280 system usage. That close to the threshold combined with the low quality capacitors, the CX 430 will not last long past its warranty period.

You'll want a better PSU. The Corsair CX is built with some inferior Samxon capacitors that cannot take heat and have been cited for early failures. I'd look a Seasonic, XFX, or Rosewill Capstone in the 450W-500W range.
Then, get a 2x4GB RAM kit so you can run in dual-channel mode.

These 2 have a nice discount on them. Both are way better than the CX.

Thank you both. This is what I'm riding with now, does it look better and are all the parts compatible and would I need to buy anything else?

You're wasting a little money on the cooler, but other than that it looks good. If you want extremely high overclocks, you'd want a 140mm Phanteks or Noctua, or a 240mm CLC; and probably a higher-end motherboard. For mild OCs, the Hyper EVO is no better than its 30% cheaper earlier version (the Plus).

Yeah well I'm going to need to save my pennies for quite a while so all in all $20 won't be too much and if I'm already paying $900 I might aswell.

Thanks for helping me out! :)
