Is this a Good $700 PC Build?

Videogamer2014 · Mar 5, 2017

Hi. I am new to PC Building and I have been doing lot's of research on the best combination for $700. I want to play games like Total War:Warhammer, Space Engineers, and Battlefield 1. I am also going with mostly white and black parts too. Will this be enough for the games I want to play on at least high settings?Here is the build:

are you playing at 1080p or a different resolution?

If I were building for 1080p and a 700 budget, this is what I would do.

For 1080p it's not a bad build by any means. I built my nephew something similar; i3 6100 and GTX 1060 3GB (EVGA). Definitely runs everything pretty well @1080p. I have the Cryorig C7 in one of my rigs and it's not bad either, gets the job done anyway.

Here's how that little GTX 1060 3GB with i3 6100 rig fared compared to my other systems when I benchmarked it:
