Is this build good enough for what I want it for?

poundej · May 2, 2015

Hi Guys, this is a build I am looking at buying.

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/8ZzKLk

Can it do what I want it to do? Just a yes or no answer to the following questions would be great, just copy and paste the questions?

Q: Can I run older games (Skyrim, CoD: WaW, RAGE, Bioshock 1, 2 and Infinite) on high/ultra settings with 60FPS+ whilst on Skype?

A:

Q: Can I run newer games (GTA 5, CoD: AW, Project Cars, BF4/Hardline) on Medium/High settings with 60FPS+ whilst on Skype?

A:

Q: Do day to day activities WITHOUT affecting gaming performance? (Download and watch movies)

A:

If you answered No to any of the above how can i improve the build? Or should it be improved to make it better?

That will easily run all the games and skype at the same time. No issues. You will easily max most all games at 1080p.

You will need a CPU cooler if you are overclocking, which you should be if you have a K series CPU.

Yes to all but you need add min 8GB ram to bulid

Good rams for your bulid http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/mushkin-memory-996996

Hi Tiny, just wondering, how future proof do you think this system would be? I wont need RAM as I have 8GB DDR3 ram already.

What I mean by future proof is will it run AAA titles in say 2017 or maybe 2018? On Medium/High settings (Im not a graphics freak, i dont even know what AA is) I know you can't predict system requirements for games 3 years away but an educated guess?

There is no such thing as futureproof and there is no way to tell how long it will last. It will likely last a few years minimum. IT will not MAX AAA titles in 2 years but will definitely run them at medium or better.

This depends how good will be DX 12 if all new games start using 8 threads 2018+ , but for sure up 2017 your CPU will be ok * maybe after OC

You shouldn't need to overclock. My GF is using an i5 2310 from 3 years ago and can still max games. Your GPU will need an upgrade way before the CPU. CPUs always have longer useable lives.

I REALLY doubt we will see 8 threads fully used anytime soon. Most games are STILL only using one "main" thread.
