I am building my first computer, here are the specs

Intel core i5 4690 quad core 3.5 ghz CPU

16 gb ram

Evga geforce gtx 750 ti

ASUS Z97 -A motherboard

4 TB hard drive (2 x 2 TB)

Phantecks enthoo pro series full tax tower

How will my system fair with games like dead rising 3 and the like ?

dont buy the 750ti then, get the r9-270. it will game noticably better than the 750ti and is a much better match for your system. it has no problem running any game made at relatively high settings. most games it will max out. games like battlefield 4, crysis 3 you would have to push settings to a blend of medium and high. dead rising should not be anywhere near as graphically demanding as these elite titles. lets just hope its coded correctly and isn't another title like watch dogs that hogs cpu/gpu power for no reason.

Only reason I'm running 16 gb of ram is because recommended specs on dead rising 3 is 8 gb and didn't want to max out my memory playing it

oh just as note assuming you have a good PSU if you don't you can stay with the 750ti but ifyou have a good say 450psu you may want to look at a gtx 660ti if you can get to the 760. The 660ti is still faster than the 750 ti just uses more juice.

1) If you dont wanna buy the I5-4690K version dont buy a Z97 motherboard. U dont need it because is for OC cpu's. Buy an H97 instead.
2) Save some money with 8GB ram
3) Save some money with 1TB HDD u dont need 4TB unless if u planning to steal files from nasa.
4) Save some money and dont buy a full tower. U dont need for games.
5) If you do all those 4 steps u will have the same perfomance but you will be able to swap ur GTX750 with a GTX770 or better so you will have the game perfomance u want.

That will lead you into a new topic and new discussion.
