Will this Pc build work and will it run games.

Dobbermann2 · Jul 12, 2016

Hello,
I'm planning to build a new pc (first time) and i made a list of parts that i may want to use.
My biggest question is: Wil all the parts work together.
My second question is: Can this run games like ARK, GTA 5 and CSGO well. Like 60fps.

Here is my list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lcwmqk

I would not purchase those components, as they are old and lack features of modern systems:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ B&H)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($57.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung SM951 128GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($105.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($47.49 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8GB Video Card ($269.99 @ B&H)
Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($109.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($72.98 @ Newegg)

The CPU is faster than the i5 you listed and more efficient.
The motherboard offers similar features, while also having an m.2 connector for fast NVM-E storage.
DDR4 memory is significantly faster than DDR3, a benefit from the newer system.
The m.2 SSD listed offers extremely fast read and write speeds.
The RX480 is significantly faster than the GTX 960, with the added benefit, of having much more VRAM. Many 1080p games are starting to use more than 4GB of VRAM, and if you ever upgrade to 1440p, it's nice to have a larger pool of memory.
Your case and power supply are good components, and you should be fine with them.

Best of luck!

Thanks for your fast answer and much info. I like the parts you have chosen but it's a little over my budget. I think it should be max 700 dollar. Also, i would like a MSI videocard (prefer).

Your initial build was a little misleading, as the budget on that list was at $900. Regardless, I made a system with $700, but you do make sacrifices to maintain gaming performance:

I had to remove the SSD to keep costs low, changed the power supply (to a still efficient), but lower tier unit. It will be fine for any high end gaming, but you lose the modularity. Finaly, the case you had listed was too pricey, so I opted for a cheaper unit.

Overall you have the same gaming horsepower, but the lack of an SSD will have load times longer. Overall, the system will be fine for gaming, and an SSD can be added in later.

Cheers!

It's fairly straight forward, and you can see how to build a system. I recommend watching videos by LinusTechTips or JayzTwoCents to learn how to build.
