Hey guys. I was wonder if my pc is good for playing games on highest resolution and play with pretty high fps. My budget is around $2,000 to &2,600 USD. I plan on playing games like CoD, Day Z, Arma III, and CS:GO. Also if you guys could suggest a case (would prefer white) would be nice.

Thanks a ton.

So this is almost $100 more than your build, but you quite a lot for that $100. Let me know what you think.

Did you notice that I was able to get the i7, the oh-so-great Nepton 280L cooler, and a 750 watt EVGA PSU (so you are ready to SLI another 970 when you are ready). I also went with a Gigabyte gaming 7 motherboard because I have had some very good experiences with their motherboards. I think those changes would be well worth the extra $100. And it would only be about $50 over your build if you go with the case I just listed above.

For only about $30 more, I was able to get the i7 4790K, the oh-so-great Nepton 280L CPU cooler (Here is a review by frostytech about how good it is), and a 750 watt EVGA PSU (so you are ready to SLI another 970 when you are ready). I also went with a Gigabyte gaming 7 motherboard because I have had some very good experiences with their motherboards.

I think it is the obvious choice for only another $30.
