Are these good spec's for a gaming computer?

Michael Swarly · Jun 2, 2016

Hello, my current computer is very slow and I have been saving up for a new one!

I was wondering are these good spec's to play CSGO with little lag and Minecraft with alot of fps.

Thanks, http://pcpartpicker.com/list/qQvypb

Wee bit overkill. I would hold out on the discrete GPU, from what we've seen the RX 480 it's going to be awesome. You can hold out on the HD 530 (integrated) for a month.

Very nice build and similar to mine, no problem playing those games. Good advice above.

How could I decrease the price and stay at minimal performance?

Looks good to me too, you could go with 8GB of RAM and a little less of a power supply without hurting your performance much if you need to shave a little off.

Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor vs Gigabyte H97 Extreme Multi Graphics Support UEFI for gaming?

Not sure what you mean by VS? One is a motherboard the other a CPU.

Are you planing on SLIing your VGA cards in the future? If not then multi-GPU support isn't really important. If you aren't planning on OCing your CPU you don't need the "K" version CPU and you could even go with a B150 motherboard.
