Hi! Just ordered these computer parts for my budget pc. My friend and I both saw a tutorial on this pc on youtube - so we both built it. He said that his pc is handling shadow of mordor quite well as well as bordorlands (medium on 1080p at a steady 50 fps). Will this build handle skyrim with mods, bo2/ghosts, dragon age inquisition, and battlefield on Medium settings at 1080p (between 30-50 fps)?

I don't see any reason on why it shouldn't....Although if you do have the money and time, try and research a bit better video card just to be on the safe side.
One video card for example could be the R9 270. It's good and might even play your games at high ultra.

Well, from what I have seen of your build, I had the Pentium G3258, it was great for all around gaming, etc. The graphics card I would suggest a upgrade on though as soon as possible, and if you get the chance AMD processors are fairly cheap and run well. In my opinion, I think that you will be more then happy at those FPS on those games, it should serve you well. I've never had a R7 250x, only a R7 260x and that was able to run Skyrim maxed out, so you should be able to push skyrim a bit higher. :) But for mods, that depends on the mods you are getting for the game, are they graphically enhancing, or just for other things that don't have to do with graphics? But either way, that PC is will more than likely be able to push the limits and goals you have set it. So, my conclusion to all the games you want to play IS: You should be able to run them all fine. And possibly push some of them graphically higher!

Yeah, this build is supposed to be a stepping stone for other upgrades :) . This is my first experience building a pc, so the end result will be interesting! I'm only a casual gamer so a steady 50 fps is more than sufficient for now. Probably in 6 months, I'm thinking of buying a 750 ti and a new processor to handle upcoming games.

P.S.For skyrim, I would just be using mods for adding houses, weapons, and overhauls (like changing the textures and such). Thanks! :)
 
It's will struggle a bit above medium settings. Dragon age will be 30ish I think. A better GFX card can certainly be done at that budget. And 4GB of RAM is not enough.

I also would advise against any Corsair PSU with a "C" in it.

Here's a base build minus GFX card for $350

Now we gotta figure out what GFX card fits in your case....unfortunately Rosewill does not supply this information.

An MSI 960 is $191 and is about 4 times faster than 250x bringing total to $542 ... but since ya get the $60 Witcher 3 with it..... if ya buying that game anyway, that drops the net cst to $482. It's 10.6" long....as Rosewill or measure ya friends case to see if it fits.

The Gigabyte will fit, it's $185 price tag brings total to $536 ... or $476 after ya figure in Wither 3

A 270x is an option also but it's about 12% slower than the 960 and 3.5 times faster than the 250x

Those would have you at + 40 fps at high settings and able to handle

I really appreciate your help! This pc is not for serious gaming though, and future upgrades are inevitable. However, I own a ps4 for newer games like the witcher 3, while this pc will be more for multiplayer and older games and modding. I really like your build, but its kind of out of my budget. But you are of course right, I need to buy a lot more ram, and the case has also provided a problem. My friend just built his pc and really has not mentioned anything but its specs for some games. I actually posted before and most people thought the case would be able to hold the appropriate parts - I am still worried though! :)

750 ti won't keep its legacy further down the road as new GPU's and more demanding titles come out.
I'd suggest save up and see what the future might hold (who knows, maybe in like 2 years some unknown company would invent a beast PC inside a flashdrive and that would cost like 0.99 Cent. Actually, nobody can predict how fast technology would advance).


P.S.
That being said, buy as desired now for whatever you require now; no such thing as future proof.
