My main concerns are my PSU and case. Is my PSU going to be good enough for this PC build, or should I upgrade? Is there a better brand or unit for around the same price? Also will my GPU fit in my case? Thanks all!

I want to play games on 1920x1080 high-ultra settings on most games, with preferably 40+ FPS. Some specific one's are The Forest, Assassin's Creed 4, Daylight. Not really ultra-demanding games.

Looks pretty good otherwise.


I agree with Eduello, but I think if you are wanting a mix of high and ultra settings and 40fps on modern games, you might want to step up to the GTX 760 or 280 for a graphics card. Also, i'd recommend an i3 4130 CPU over the FX6300. If you want an AMD CPU, i'd recommend the FX 8xxx series.

Well my budget is around $800. I may consider a gtx 760, but is this still a good setup? What fps could I expect on high-end games at high graphics?

It really depends on the game, but with a 6300 and a 270X, expect to be around 40 to 60fps on high settings at 1080p. That is for most game right now, and a year from now it may only be good for 35fps on high settings. Getting a better setup will carry you at good framerates for longer.

Here the changes I personally would go for if limited to $800:

GPU ($209 w rebate and coupon code EMCPCWW24): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Also, may I ask why you are wanting the Pro version of windows? Unless you are doing networking or server stuff, I can't imagine why you would need the Pro version?
I'd say just go with the home version and save yourself $50.

Thanks for that. I was honestly just looking for the good stuff and thought pro meant something, but I didn't notice the $30 I could save getting the regular. What is even the difference for what pro can get you? Anyways, I think I'll go with my same setup, an FX-6300 except I'll get an EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB ACX Video Card. It is a nice upgrade partly due to cooling and I'll get a free copy of Watch Dogs which I've been wanting to play. But there is one question I have: My Motherboard I chose is an M5A99X EVO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard, but should I downgrade to the M5A97X version? It's like $30 less. What is the primary difference between these two boards? Anyways thanks for your help and if you have any other suggestions go for it. This will be my first build.
