Is this a good pc?

EpikFacedGamer · Oct 17, 2014

I would like to be able to run games like battlefield 4 and other modern games at 60fps and I want to know if this build would do that, also if I am missing anything in the build please tell me I am still fairly new at pc building. I already have a hard drive, operating system, monitor, mouse, keyboard, headset and speakers. This is my computer build so far https://www.dropbox.com/s/do8mogty6rw72gj/Screenshot%202014-10-17%2022.04.27.png?dl=0

Any advice or anything is highly appreciated. Also my budget is £400-500

Doesn't look bad at first glance.

I made a selection myself to give a imo better motherboard,case,psu,also added a nice cooler for some overclocking if you're up for that.A better cooler than stock anyway,especially for that price.

The cooler comes just with a little "bag" of cooling paste,enough for one time,you might want to add the next to the list,

For how the gpu i chose does in for instance BF4,

with no AA should you get good fps,playable fps anyway. Some results are overclocked,keep an eye on that and read the whole review.They use a different cpu so this will affect fps also.

Wouldn't the Hyper 212 EVO be a better fan for price to performance? Great build nonetheless.

The evo is to tall according to the case specs.It's only a difference of three mm but i wouldn't try it.It just might be stuck against the window and the zalman is for such a price a very nice cooler.
