So i've been playing cs 1.6 for a long time in my old pc and i want to play cs:go now.

I will be not playing other games right now so it will be an exclusive build for csgo with a 144hz monitor, the ASUS vg248qe.

I don't mind if i dont get 300+ fps max, of course it will be nice but i feel like if i get a min of 120 fps i would be happy and enough to enjoy.

(medium-high settings at 1080p)

Specs i'm thinking right now (AMD BECAUSE IT'S WAAAAAAAAY CHEAPER THAN INTEL AND I WILL BE ONLY GAMING SO...)

cpu: amd fx 6300. 3.5 ghz
mobo: asus m5a78l-m usb3
ram: 4 gb hyperx fury ddr3 1866 (the red one :p)
graphic card: r9 270 sapphire 2gb
hard drive: wd blue 500gb 7200rpm
psu: evga 500w 80+bronze
case: sentey stealth

well, this is probably the cheapest and acceptable build in your country but where i live, it's around us$570 without OS, antivirus, keyboard, mouse, monitor, headsets and other useful stuff, so it kind of sucks.

Other questions

1- will i need something else to connect to the internet? (i don't want wifi)
2- will it be capable of overclocking without problems? i'm not that sure if i will be doing it btw, just asking
3- will it be capable of playing some games in high settings at 50+ fps? like crysis 3, dying light, fifa 16? if it's not, should i get another r9 270 to do the crossfire thing? anything i would need to change to do that?


hope you guys can help me and guide me since it's my first build, thanks for your time!
