How is my PC build for 1366x768 gaming?

Le_goose · Dec 20, 2014

I'm building on a budget, and I wanted to make a small PC to kill the "next-gen" consoles. I only play at the max resolution on 1366x768, and I woul like to be able to play these games at Midium/High settings with reasonable framerates: Battelfeild 3, Far Cry 3, Skyrim, and a few Indie games here and there. So here it is:

Case: Cooler Master Elite 110

Motherboard: MSI Z87I AC LGA 1150

Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (8gb x 1)

Hard Drive: Western Digital 1TB Black

SSD: Kingston 120gb Solid State Drive

CPU: Intel Core i3-4150

GPU: EVGA GTX 750ti (Mini version)

PSU: Corsair CX430M

So that's about it! What do you think? Help would be appreciated!

No reason to get a Z87 motherboard. The GTX750ti is great for 720p though. I don't think I could bring myself to get a Corsair CX. What is your budget?

Somewhere around $700-$750.

Does that include windows, monitor, and peripherals? Because you could get a VERY good gaming PC for $700-750

That would dominate 720p and even be pretty good at 1080p.

Thanks! Yes I already have windows 8, so that saves me a couple bucks! This is really solid, thanks!
