Is this a viable gaming Pc to build?

Dattubaguy1 · Nov 23, 2016

I'm looking to build a gaming pc just to play things like Overwatch on around 50-60 FPS. It's my first time looking into building a computer so I'm not sure if it would all work together and if there are similar components i could get for cheaper

Specs:

MSI B150 Gaming M3 LGA 1151

Intel core i5-6500 3.2GHz processor

Corsair vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) RAM

MSI AMD R7370 Graphics card

WD Blue 1TB desktop HDD 7200 rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64 MB

Thanks

Yeah that would be good, I'd personally get a newer GPU.

Very poor balance of components, give me a budget and i'll put something better together.

Did you want me to unselect solution?
Doesn't seem solved.
