Hi guys im gonna build a pc this is for Crysis 3 maxed out 1080p 60fps and skyrim with mods as well as lord of the rings online, bf4 etc. etc

basically i wanna play all these games with a steady 60fps on maxed settings.

here's my specs

GPU - EVGA GTX 970 4GB
CPU - I5 4690 3.5 GHZ
PSU - XFX 550W
Motherboard - Asrock h97 ATX
Case - Corsair Carbide series 300R
RAM - 8GB ddr3 1600 mhz

like the build? I need some opinions on whether all this will work and whether it's a solid build or not, honest opnions appriciated!

Thanks

P.S. are all the parts compatible too?

while I think that build should be pretty good for your goals, you are playing a lot of games that are rather dependent on the cpu. Your gpu can handle it no problem but your cpu may not. An overclockable i5 would be a nice upgrade.

But I won't be able to overclock with the h97? I don't plan on OC'ing either

no so it would have to be a substantial upgrade getting a z87 or z97 mobo as well as an after market cooler so I'm guessing it would break your budget

You have a very solid build, If you can try to get RAM of 1866/cas 9 or higher/lower, a lot of the time you can find it for the same price anyways.
