Hello everyone at Tom's hardware. I'm trying to build a gaming pc. I need it for the following: Playing Super Smash Brothers Melee or Project M 3.5 while recording with Fraps. I realize that dolphin can dump frames and audio but I have read it is not the most reliable. I would like to Play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim above 30 Frames per second with graphic mods (60 would be nice but not sure if it's possible.) I would really love to play Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, GunZ 2: The Second Duel, Fallout 3 (mods), Thief, Bioshock Trilogy, Titan fall, Watch dogs, Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. I plan on getting a new 1080p monitor and would like to be able to use it and my older ViewSonic VG710b at the same time. I have looked at other computer parts and here is what I have found so far. Will these parts work (well) together? How many Watts Psu do I require? Will the motherboard/Psu come with the screws I need?
