Is this a good build for gaming?

Mikhailov · Jan 13, 2016

I'm new to pc building, ive gamed on a laptop since forever, i live in Australia, everything is so much more expensive, my budget is Australian$1200, i've managed to make this build that costs AU$1200. Is it a good enough build to play games i want to play like GTA V, Rainbow Six: Siege, Star Wars: Battlefront, Dota 2, CS:GO. Can the build play these games on at least Medium Settings ( I just need good enough looking graphics, with good fps )

You need to copy the link in the upper left side that says Permalink. Copying the link from the URL box shows us our partlist, not yours.

Your link wasn't working, but I threw this one together.

BadActor, that build looks real nice and cheaper than what I put together, guessing it's better as well. I think I might go with that,I I'll be saving up the money throughout this year so who knows, might be able to get some parts cheaper later on

970, that you selected, is better than a 380x. Some of the parts, in your list, do not show a price.

is a CPU cooler necessary?

Which CPU cooler is good and not expensive, still fits the budget or maybe go over by just a bit

BadActor · Jan 15, 2016

Mikhailov :

The stock cooler will be fine.

Mikhailov · Jan 15, 2016

oh ok, well time to gradually get the money together, thanks for the build BadActor

Mikhailov · Jan 15, 2016

oh yea one more thing that build is missing though is a wifi card, im gonna need one, router not near pc

i added this in : http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/tp-link-wireless-network-card-tlwdn4800

good enough?

BadActor · Jan 15, 2016

I like the USB version, but they don't get as good a signal if you have a several walls or a long distance from the router.

well i play in the living room ( live in an apartment/unit) only a table and sofa, no walls blocking me from the router, router behind me maybe 3-5 meters away, should i go for the usb or the pci-e wifi adapter

which one is faster

thegussbus · Jan 16, 2016

Mate to make you fell better i have a i5- 4440 cpu, Gigabyte radeon r9 270x, pretty sure your card the is better, 8 gig ram, similar motherboard. I play battlefront, go,rainbow six, bf4 all on high graphics. no problems

thegussbus · Jan 16, 2016

Mikhailov :

I live in australia. And the store that is i think the most trusted and cheapest is "pccasegear"
pretty sure it is located in Melbourne.
