So this is my first ever Pc build. I decided to drop the console and pick up on the pc, for this i have decided to build my own since alot of people say it is absolutely amazing. I have sold my console and games to help me save up but enough of me. I want you guys to check over my build, i would really appreciate it :). I am pretty new to this stuff but i want to play games like Dayz, Skyrim, Battlefield 4, and of course news releases like Fallout 4 (i know its not out yet but i want my pc to be able to run it) So what i really want to know is if my build will be able to run the new games coming out on like medium graphics with a good framerates. So here is the part list http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FtMWsY Do you guys think this should be good enough for what i am wanting? Thanks for you time :)

Hello,

CPU: I would stay away from AMD cpus. Actually AMD cpus aren't the best for gaming. They are generally week cpus. Go this an intel core i5. 4460 or i5 4590. And choose a decent H97 board for that. Get H97 Pro4.

Everything else is very good. You have chosen you parts well. They are very nicely picked. Very impressive for a first timer.

NOTE: As Said don't pirate Windows. I used to be a heavy software pirate And completely terminated every pirated thing I had. These pirators includes hacking tools and malwares most of the time. If you are a student use www.dreamspark.com or e5.onthehub.com.

dont buy the windows 7 just pirate download it savs 100 bux its easy to. and invest in pricer parts
amd does over heat and you will need a aftermarket cpu coller. you also want an ssd to run windows on or games on. 60 gb for windows and 120 for windows + 2 battlefied games do the math...

you defently want an ssd ... much much faster then hdd

and zero gravity system is looking good very good

i say chose the intel one

i hingly recommed to drop the windows and pirate download it ... there is guides. and invest the money in stroger intel cpu ... or if the cpu is good enough then pot the mone on a good seasonic power suppy theyre the best

I would not pirate windows. When you pirate windows, there is a chance some packages will not install and become corrupt and windows will not work right. I know from personal experience. Just buy it.

the price suprised me as it went from 783$ to 938$ :/ But hey i mean these parts are quality. Also there isnt a much difference between the i5-4590 and the i5-4460. Both come out around the same price. I should probrably just get tje i5-4590. And i was one last question, Do you know if prices go down a bit during black friday? Because this is a lot of money for me to throw out for the pc build
