Hello,
My brother is about to buy a new pc.
What fps can he expect with these specs, and are you concerned of anything?
He will be playing Overwatch and Steep. He will play 1080p and he only needs 60 fps.

i5–7400 3.0GHz med turbo til 3.5GHz
MSI GTX 1060 Armor 6G OCV1
8GB 2133MHz DDR4 ram
MSI B250M Pro-VD
Intel 600p NVME M.2 SSD - 256GB
Seasonic S12II-520 - 80+ Bronze
BitFenix Comrade

Is it good enough?
ps. sorry for the messy explanation
 
Solution


If he wishes to game while multi-tabbing in Chrome and have some other programs running at the same time, it might be a little small.

If he can squeeze out a bit more cash to add another 8GB stick, it would not only double the space, but would speed it up, as it will work in dual-channel.

A kit of 2x8GB DDR4 would be optimal, otherwise just manage which programs he'll be running simultaneously and everything will be fine as well.

thats a very solid build. at least for overwatch he'll be fine with way over 60 fps at max settings. as far as steep... hes above the recommended system requirements so im assuming at least 60 fps with high settings. maybe not maxed out?

Ok thank you guys so much! He doesnt require steep maxed out, so all good right there.
EDIT: Do you think he will run into any problems with only 8 gb of ram?
