$1300 Gaming PC

Ceeshnuts · Nov 6, 2015

I am looking to build a computer for $1100-$1300. I have no plans to overclock, and i wish to be able to run the following games at 60fps/1080p.
- CSGO
- TF2
- Fallout 4
- GTA 5
- Borderlands 2

I currently have this picked out - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/768nRB
I do not need a monitor or anything like that.
Just want some opinions if this'll be good enough, and if not any suggestions?

I was also going to mention the psu could be better for the price. While the cx 600 can easily do the job you would be better off getting a higher quality PSU for the same price. This one below is of higher quality and is 10 dollars cheaper after MIR, which includes the MIR on the CX 600.

Your build is great, CTurbo's build is substantially better, except for the BX100 SSD which isn't really that great, reliable yes but not really as fast as most newer ssd's but you'd be hard pressed to notice the difference except for the transfer of large files or video encoding, even then you likely would hardly notice, unless you timed it vs another SSD with newer tech.

40 in MIR a free game and 10 free BR discs. Yes it's a lil more expensive, but I've added a little extra quality in most places, except the ram, yep they are not really well known, they make good products and I doubt this ram would be any different, really great timings for 2133Mhz ram. I added an optical drive because well why not?
