Hey guys,
So I recently posted a thread about the same gaming build, and I made some modifications according to people’s suggestions. I need to know if this build can play most new games on high or max settings with a 1080p monitor and at least 50-60 fps. I play games like NBA 2K, Minecraft, and Skyrim, but I want to know if it can handle games like Battlefield 4 and The Witcher 3 so that I can be prepared for future titles. Mid to high level graphics on the newest games are acceptable, but I would prefer high to ultra or max. My maximum budget is around $850-$900, so if you make any recommendations, please make sure that they do not drastically increase the price. Also, some people have told me that my build is overkill for what I am going for, so if you think it is, please tell how to modify it so it can be improved but be around the same price. This build costs around $820 not including peripherals and a monitor, since I already have those. Some recommendations that I do not want are a 1440p monitor, a solid state drive, and more RAM, since those would increase the price by a lot and I can always upgrade later. Thanks! Here’s the build:

Graphics Card: XFX Radeon R9 280X 3GB Double Dissipation Video Card

I am new to PC building, so please excuse me if I ask a lot of questions or sound dumb.
