RDawG_ · Apr 24, 2016

Hi, so this this is my first time building a gaming pc and i have a budget of £600 and i want to know what your opinions are on this build, i would also like to know how much fps i'd get on csgo and other games like GTA V and BF4 if possible!

Here is my build:

Yes pretty good, you may want to throw in a ssd in there to speed things up outside of games and overall responsiveness. In GTA 5 you would be getting around 60 fps on high settings, csgo probably around 250, csgo can be weird though and really fluctuate. BF4 also around 60-80 on Ultra.

Comments on your build:

1) FX processors create a lot of heat and are pretty out of date at this point. plus, you are spending more on an overclocking board and cooler. your money should be put into a good i5, no overclocking or additional cooling and a better GPU.

2) CXM series power supplies use low quality parts. you need something better.

Both comments are absolutely spot on. I know from personal experience that the Corsair CXM psu is total crap!

Battlefield 1 is coming in 6 or 7 months! You really want a monitor that is capable of 144 hz along with a video card that gets you 90-100 fps. 60 fps won't do!
