I am writing this thread to ask if my pc build will run most games like cod, bf4 e.t.c.
And could you also tell me if it is bottlenecking.

1. ALL computers have a limiting factor somewhere, otherwise they would all run a bazillion FPS at the speed of light :)

2. your CPU is capable of driving at least two GPUs like the one you have without any great problems. If you want to play AAA at 4K Ultra, then there is no single GPU available today, that will do that.

For gaming, overclocking is of limited value, and may give you only an FPS or two.
I would be using a bigger SSD. Bigger SSDs are faster and will allow you to put both your OS and key applications. I would not go smaller than 128HGb, and would prefer to start at 256Gb.

I would be wanting an Antec, Seasonic, XFX, or similar tier 1 to2 PSU for this build. You could go with a really good 450W. If you plan for later SLI (adding a second GPU) then get 650 - 750W now.

How do you plan to load OS and software? ODD internal/external USB?
