I'm looking to buy a gaming desktop, which im going to build my self. Ive found some parts to put together but im wondering is there any room for more improvments and are the parts comaptiable. Furthermore, would any of these gaming desktops play call of duty advanced warfare,cod ghosts, fifa 15, bf3/4 and crysis on medium to high settings without any problem. Im not that bothered about playing the games on ultra settings, i just want to play them without any lag and at a decent fps.

Build 1 you are maxed out because mobo cant support a faster CPU because it is limited to the 95w TDP

Build 2 is better, but has lower end cx serries PSU, vengence ram is tall and can block cpu coolers.

Build 3 is using previous generation cpus at new cpu/mobo prices.

Build 4 is ok, but taking a drop by going down to a 760 over a 770. Have you looked into a r9-280 or 280X?

logain's build is pretty good, i prefer some other brands but that is more personal prefference.


On a side note wifi is not going to provide you with the speed you want for gaming. Think of mbps not as a speed but as a capacity. You dont need to carry a huge amount of data, what you need is as fast as communicaiton to the gaming server as possible, this delay is called latency. WiFi is not good for reducing latency due to it being wireless. If you can not connect PC directly to router via ethernet, then the next best option is a 500-600mbps powerline adapter.
