Hi all,

Just finalized my build and it looks like this. Will this be able to get high fps on new games on ultra at 1080p?

Still need a motherboard under £80 for this build though.

Should I use the i5 4460 or should I switch to an AMD fx-8350?

Don't need a case, peripherals, or OS.

Thanks,

Fin

for fast video cards i5 4590 and faster
i ve picked RAM with not so large heat spreader , in order not to block huge CPU coolers when slot 1 is used
You could buy the aftermarket cooler later on
