Hello,

I've built this $1400CAD Gaming Rig for under $1400. Wondering if everything is compatible, and if it will run most games at 60FPS.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($298.98 @ DirectCanada)

Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($178.98 @ Newegg Canada)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($75.98 @ Newegg Canada)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.74 @ DirectCanada)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card ($312.49 @ Amazon Canada)

This is a great build for gaming. When it comes to the GPU, it's not bad but to ensure that you get 60FPS on all games on medium settings I would maybe go for a 970 if you have the money. The 960 will run most games at 60FPS but you may have to compromise on the video quality. If you want to go for the 970 I would suggest finding a cheaper case and possible mid tower. I would also go for a 60GB SSD just to install the OS on, this will increase your loading speeds by a lot and you can install everything else on your HDD.
