Is This a Good Gaming PC Build?

ThatZiast · Jan 23, 2016

Hello everyone! I am a first time PC builder. I've researched a lot and have come up with this build. I would like to be able to play Minecraft on max settings at 100+ FPS, and even more w/ Optifine. Also want to be able to play w/ shaders at at least 60 FPS. However, I want to be able to play other games like Skyrim at max settings smoothly. Finally, I plan on recording w/ Fraps. Hopefully someone who is better with PCs can tell me if this build will suffice my needs. Thank you!
