thanks for the help would this be able to get 60fps on the games i mentioned

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

Absolutely. You should be able to run any game with this build. Only very gpu intensive games such as Assassin's creed unity, Far Cry 4 or Crysis 3 won't be playable on ultra. They will however be playable on medium-high settings.

that sounds great

hopefully ill be gaming by next week
thanks for the help

one last thing if i need to upgrade gpu later on will the motherboard and case take any card

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

the motherboard will. The case supports any currently available card, even the biggest ones like the r9 290. Oh, and I forgot. When will you be buying this? Because gtx 960 is coming out on 22nd of january and you should see a 10-15% improvement over the gtx 760 for about the same price.

Smashington · Jan 10, 2015

well i was going to order all the parts in the next few days.
I might order everything else and wait to see how the new card is its not that long to wait

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

You should also look on ebay or something if you can find a second hand gpu from a reputed seller. I grabed an r9 290 for 200USD two weeks ago, a complete steal.
Good luck.
