It's a used PC going for 900$. Just looking to do some gaming and wondering what resolution and FPS I could get on games like BF1 or PUBG?

Solution
Too much money. For $900 you can build a killer machine with today's components. Not saying that isn't a fine machine with gaming potential, but not at $900. Not even new.

drop the CM evo 212 and drop the 3tb seagate. get a cooler with a solid copper contact plate. the drive, i dont trust seagate over 2tb. ive seen too many reviews where the 3tb and up seagate drives have a high failure rate.

You are spot-on about seagate drives. You nudge them and the spindles break, then you're looking at a $1000+ repair or a complete loss of all your data.

The weird thing is, i own 2 seagate external drives. one i have had for around 5 yrs with no problem. however its not always plugged in. i do however have the 2tb external backed up on a 3tb drive. i just dont trust the 3.5 drives for anything.
