Is this 2000$ Gaming PC build any good?

Moeqoffee · Sep 23, 2015

I wanna play games like Metal Gear Solid 5 with 60fps at really, really high settings, maybe even some heavily modded Skyrim or Fallout, is this build any good? If not, what would you change about it? Any help's appreciated!

Changes:
Cpu Cooler: This will do sufficient cooling..
Motherboard: Much better one
Memory: Quad channel memory
SSD: the one you listed I wasn't familiar with and pretty overpriced, sumsung evos are very good and reliable ssd's
Video Card: Just a brand preference, plus it will match the rest of the build
Case: Just a preference, check out the reviews for Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5
Power Supply: 850w will be plenty enough for another gtx 980ti if you want

Metal Gear Solid 5 isn't that demanding, even consoles can run it at 60 fps (except cut-scenes) and this is a very beastly PC and it will run all games hopefully at ultra at 60 fps @ 1080p or even 1440p! Have fun!

The only thing I might disagree with @noobgamer40 on is the memory. The benefits of quad vs dual channel is negligible but the ability to go from 16 to 32 is not.

I don't think you need a DDR4 memory, DDR3 will do just fine. And you can get a better power supply, the RM750 will do okay but you don't need 750w, 650w is good enough. The EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650W would be a better choice. Anyway, That build will run all games easily on ultra settings 60 fps.
