I'm building my first gaming rig and i would like to have some comments on my build and if it will be able to play next gen at max graphical settings. any inputs would be nice! i also already have the physical memory needed for the the motherboard selected. The game i want this to run the most is Dayz standalone/ Arma 3, will this system be able to run these at max graphics easily?

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive(extra storage to be added later)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX Video Card
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic 660W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
 
Solution
Yes. The 3570k is only about 10% slower than the newer generations. Nothing to worry about there.

One thing to keep in mind, Arma 3 is poorly optimized. Everyone has issues with that game.
