My first build, is it good?

AdikRahman · Apr 4, 2016

Hi, this is my first post in site so, sorry if I posted in the wrong area.
I'm making a gaming PC. Here is the PC Part Picker list.
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Adik/saved/VYQXsY
I want to play 1080p resolution games at 60fps. The quality doesn't matter to me. Mid to High settings will be good for me

So my questions are:
1. Does this rig have any bottlenecks?
2. Is my UPS compatible?
3. Is my PSU good?
I don't know much about UPS and PSU so, good info will be very appreciated.
4. Do I need to change anything?
5. Will I be able to enjoy games on this PC?

But there is a problem. I'm not living in the US, I live in Bangladesh so, I cant buy things from Amazon or newegg or other online shops. I'm buying the PC from a local shop. So my choices are limited. Here is the website of the shop https://www.ryanscomputers.com
If you think something is wrong, could you please recommend me something that is available in the shop? That would be very helpful for me.

Thanks for the help

I would upgrade your power supply to this one if possible:

Seasonic SS-520GB Active PFC 512II 520GB 520 Watt 80 Plus Bronze
Product ID: 55.692.01

You should buy your RAM as an 8GB matched set, not two 4GB kits.

For 1080P, I think you will need to upgrade to the GTX 960 at a minimum. You would have a better gaming build with an i3 and GTX 960 than an i5 and GTX 950.

I would also move up to the 850VA UPS for the combined PC and monitor and a few accessories like modem, wifi, etc.

Bearmann :

Thanks for the reply.
I'll try to fit the PSU in my budget.

And, are you saying that my CPU and GPU are not compatible? Or are you saying that, for gaming I should get a more expensive GPU than CPU.
If your trying to say the 2nd thing, than I'm sorry that I forgot to mention that, this PC is mostly going to be used for gaming but it's also going to used for some ordinary use. So I don't mind if I don't get the best gaming result.

And for the UPS, I'm at the peak of my budget so, If my current UPS is compatible then I have no intention of upgrading.

So can please clarify this 2 things? Thank you.

All of your components are compatible. With a GTX 950, I don't think that you will be able to play games at 1080p at 60fps.

According to hardware-revolution.com, a GTX 950:

It’s capable of running older games with high details at 1920 x 1080 and newer games will run smoothly at resolutions up to 1600 x 900 smoothly. Newer games will be playable at 1920 x 1080 too, you might just need to turn down the graphic settings to get acceptable frame rates.

The UPS will probably be OK. Just don't plug anything into its battery outlets except for the PC and the monitor.

Your gaming would be better with a Skylake i3/GTX 960 or 970 combination rather than a Skylake i5 GTX 950 combination. The i3 would also be excellent for general computer use, Windows office, surfing the WEB, etc.
