Pc build help!

Mnm2364 · Jul 27, 2014

Hello all, I decided to build my own pc last month (I am a complete noob). . Here is what i have so far for my 900$ budget. In fact i barely know anything about computers but i still want to build my own. I have a bunch of questions, is this all compatible? Will this run games like B4 and watchdogs on medium settings? Are there any parts i should change? Is there a 900$ build that would be better suited for me that you know of? Thanks

Your build isn't weak, but there isn't a really wide upgrade path

Calnin · Jul 27, 2014

Upgrade path doesn't matter if you build a system that's going to try to last a while. As long as your cpu is strong enough to support a gpu upgrade in the future, there's plenty of upgrade paths available.

As for a system for 900 CAD, here's something to consider.

It'll play BF 4 on high-ultra settings 30fps+. Watch dogs might be high settings might be medium settings.

The i5 is a strong enough cpu not to get bottlenecked by any single gpu card in the market right now I believe.

As for the PSU, it'll be enough for any plans for stronger cards for possible "upgrade paths".

I'd suggest this. Plus, you'd have windows if you need.

I like the price on this build, will i still be able to play B4 WD and even the upcoming cods on this?

Calnin · Jul 27, 2014

It should be able to play them on at least medium/high 30fps @1080p.
