Hey guys, I was wondering what do you think about this configuration I set up. My question is will it be able to run The Witcher 3. Thanks!

1 x Intel CPU Desktop Core i5-6500 (3.2GHz, 6MB,LGA1151) box
1 x Asrock B150A-X1, DDR4, ATX, S.1151
1 x Crucial DRAM 8GB DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) CL15 SR

1 x Gigabyte GF GTX980 G1 GAMING, 4GB GDDR5, DVI, DP

Not a bad configuration at all, certainly capable of running Witcher 3 at 1k and 2k, but perhaps not 4k at reliable frame-rates.

But I'd definitely wait for the 1070 or the 1080 to come back into stock. Both will dominate the 980, and in the 1070's case, at nearly half the price.

GO for the i5 6400 instead of the 6500. There isn't much of a difference between them and it costs less. Go for the GTX 1070 or the RX 480. I have no idea what that PSU is just like AUnlikelyPotatoe go for a SeaSonic PSU they are very good quality and are pretty cheap
