I need a budget gaming PC (i prefer an nvidia GPU)which can play far cry 4 mid to high settings 1080p and i will use it for some simple MS word work with a monitor included and i need it with windows and an optical drive please and i want a fairly quiet PC which has plenty of upgrade options for the hard drive, processor and the GPU and im looking to buy from newegg,amazon and NCIX US only and no liquid cooling.

does it have space for upgrades? and there is a USB 3.0 header on the mother board but not on the case but the question is: can it run far cry 4 on mid to high settings 1080p?
