Hello ,, i am about to buy a new pc for gaming and i was wondering if this one is good ,, i didn't collect any parts ,, i found a pc like that , and i can make changes on it if i like to , so if there is any change i can make here to a better performance but not big different in price please advise me

Intel core i5 4460 4th gen 3.2 hz/6mb/4core
memory : Hyper-x fury black 8gb
SSD : WD 1TB blue 7200RPM
Video card : Asus GTX 960 Strix 2GB DDR-5
Chassis : NZXT H440 120MMx3 + 140MMXI Fan
Mother Board : MSI H97-PC mate


and finally can this pc run new games like Witcher 3 or BF4 or any strong game on ultra settings without any lag ?
 
Solution
a core i7 will give you almost zero performance increase in games versus a core i5. you're gonna be paying an extra $100 for a few extra frames per second in games if you're lucky. as far as the video card, you could get a radeon r9 380 or 380x if you can find one in the same price range but honestly the gtx 960 isnt a bad choice either...

yeah you'll be running all games no problem at 1080p with that. most newer games between probably 35-65fps on ultra settings. witcher 3 is a beastly game but luckily there are plenty of graphic settings to turn up and down.

A lot of developers said that 4gb VRAM is the new norm and i can attest to that using a 1080p screen there were times i had to reduce settings for my 3gb vram card. Save yourself the hassle and buy a 4gb card now.

Keep in mind the 970 has 3.5gb - the other 500mb are too slow to count.

The Power supply is
FFSP HEXA +500W 80PLUS

to be honest guys my information about computer parts is almost zero ,,,
so the processor is good i don't need an i7 ? and the best thing i do change the GTX 960 to GTX 970 ,, is there a big difference in the price ?

And is there any other options to the video card ,, Like Radon that has the same price but better performance ,, because looks like you think that the video card is a bit of problem
