I'm trying to keep it under 630 USDs. It's going to be built for Arma 3 and games around that. Like World of Warships. I want high FPS. So far the 3rd newegg combo build looks really good. I just want thoughs on what everyone thinks. However if there is one that is better for around same price, please post that aswell. ALSO explain WHY it's better, like low level.

Worked a bit of magic and got you something better than all of them. ARMA runs kind of garbagey no matter what. You were overspending on some parts you didn't need to be.

The Intel CPU is better at most tasks than the fx-8350.
The 960 is about 30% stronger than a 750ti, and about 20% stronger than an R9 280.

Don't do the Newegg ones, they look nice and pretty, but they're pretty meh.

Yeah, there isn't. All prebuilts are charging you around 20% of the part cost for labor, so you lose out on like $100+ worth of actual hardware.

The combos are ALWAYS horrible designed, and are really the seller just trying to clear out parts they can't sell.

It's very easy to build your own computer if you're willing to learn.
