Hey guys! I'm looking forward to building my first gaming computer soon. I have decided on all the parts. I want this computer to play games like GTA 5 at high settings, CSGO , The Forest , COD BO3 (or any other COD), and DayZ. Now should I go with a GTX 750 Ti 2GB?
Here are the specs.

Corsair 8GB DDR3

Thermal Take TR2 600NL2NC ATX12v 600watt

XFX - AMD Radeon R7 360 2GB GDDR5

AMD - FX-6350 3.9GHz

Asus - M5A78L

NZXT - Phantom 410

I already have a DVD Drive, Hardrives , and stuff. Is there anything thats needed that I'm missing?
 
We need your budget and also what resolution you plan on playing. Also, you may want to configure your rig on pcpartpicket.com to make life easier on yourself. But budget and resolution is crucial. Also, does your budget include the monitor, or you already own that?

Budget is 550. I want to play at 720p

I have the monitor. Also I have to get everything off bestbuy .com
 
BestBuy.com huh? That's going to raise the prices that you pay for items. I'm guessing that you're taking advantage of their interest free credit card. No biggie. I did the same thing for my 60" Samsung TV. It's a good strategy but only if you pay it off before the plan ends; otherwise they tack on all the back interest you would have normally paid.

By the way, I unselected myself as the solution. I assume you clicked it by mistake. I want as many people as possible to chime in and offer their advice on this.

Here's a little build i put together. The intel pentium g3258 might have trouble running day-z but other than that you should be fine. You can always upgrade the processor down the road. The gtx 950 is basically a gtx 960 once you overclock it and is supposed to be the replacement of the 750 ti, and since you have a HDD already you can get a 960, but i think for day-z you might want to go with a processor upgrade first.
