£600 Gaming PC - Is it Any Good?

Inferno 1337 · May 23, 2016

Hey guys, I've been asking alot of questions lately but I really want this PC to be good.
As I'm not made of money and would still like a decent build I've put this together to show you guys and I ask for advice if some parts should stay or some parts should be swapped.

As PCpartpicker couldnt find the case i wanted I'll link it seperatly below

Case:https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/Midi+Tower/Kolink+Aviator+Midi-Tower+Gaming+Case+-+Red+?productId=65642

Build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Vkm8TH

I'm only looking for 1080p 60fps gaming in CoD, Battlefield, CSGO ect.. so it would greatly appreciated if you guys can help me.

My Budget will only be about £600-700

Thanks!

For that price, I would get a better case (maybe a Corsair Spec 01) or anything by a reputable brand.

As for the GPU, the 960 doesn't have a really nice price/performance ratio. For that price I would get a R9 380. Or you could wait one or two months to see the new AMD and Nvidia cards being released.

The PSU seems a little bit sketchy, I would go with a XFX instead, much better quality.

Also added an SSD (optional) and a better than stock cooler, should give you much better temps.

Here's the list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/yyBPxY

You could have an R9 390 for 720GBP total, or just under 700 for a GTX 970...both including an OS (you didn't include in you initial build)

Either should be capable of 60FPS at 1080p, high settings on the games you listed. The 390 would likely be viable a little longer due to the additional VRAM, but either would serve the purpose...

Definitely get a WD 1tb Blue HDD instead, more reliable than the Seagate one.
