This is the build im thinking about buying will it be good enough for 1080p games such as overwatch on max at 60fps+

As someone who is familiar with some mainstream PC components I look to the CPU first. If that passes inspection I then move down the line. I ran into the 1400 and stopped. That's a mid-range CPU. It's not the 16 or 1700. 1080 maxed with the 1400 is not something I see working out too well.

You then add the entry level 1050Ti. 1030 is bottom end. 1050 2 GB is very low end. That component doesn't say max settings either.

My answer is a resounding and possibly echoing No.

The CPU comes with its own cooler. No need for that aftermarket.

An SSD at this price point is a waste. Sure it'll speed up Windows boot, Windows navigation, game load times and offers some other benefits but higher FPS is certainly not one of them. When there is a tight budget each dollar needs to bring something for the FPS. If it doesn't it's not worth including in the build.

For about $25 more you can significantly upgrade that build PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

well i already have the 1050ti so what is the best build you can give me with that around 600$

ben5768 · Dec 20, 2017

for overwatch 1080p 60fps that your build will run it and would recommend a b350 motherboard rather than a a320
any other games you wanna run ?

That Ti is like a shot in the foot. This football player can exercise but we will do nothing for his vision. Nope...

other games i wanna run is gta 5 on very high , fortnite on high settings and pubg on medium

dark_lord69 · Dec 20, 2017

Yes, That combo has been benchmarked at about 72 FPS on MAX settings @ 1080p in Overwatch.

GTA 5 on very high? 45 FPS with that build

That video card is a limiting factor but I'd go bigger on the CPU and less on the RAM...

This would be a faster build.

you can definitely hit 60 fps but maybe not on the very high default but if you lower some settings you it'll still look just as good and fortnite wont be a problem

Finstar :

is there a real need for the 16gb of ram or will i be good with just 8 and it will save me some cash

Finstar · Dec 20, 2017

poopsftw123 :

Hard to say for future. But as of now you can still survive with 8gb, you just have to close all background applications for max performance when playing games that demand a lot of ram.

dark_lord69 · Dec 20, 2017

I like Finstar's build even more than mine.
If you can afford it, build his list.

you can easily get by with just the 8gb at the moment maybe something to consider at a later date tho

poopsftw123 · Dec 20, 2017

dark_lord69 :

does his build come with a stock cooler

Finstar · Dec 20, 2017

poopsftw123 :

Yes, it comes with the Wraith Spire cooler.

poopsftw123 · Dec 20, 2017

Finstar :

ok a few more questions if you are willing to awnser them for me
1) Can it run most games on high settings at 50-60 fps
2) Would it be able to handle some streaming on games such as overwatch
3) for streaming is the 16 gb of ram needed or could i get by with 8 (to save some cash)

ben5768 · Dec 20, 2017

It can do all those.
As for ram, i'd recommend getting 16gb if you can afford it.

Get this save $200-250. When Volta releases swap that 1050Ti with a decent GTX 1160/2060. You will get huge performance gain.

Nvidias next architecture after Pascal.
The Volta gaming cards won't likely be out until next summer.

but they will cost 3000 dollars if i read this correctly so i wont ever be able to afford this?

King Dranzer · Dec 20, 2017

$3000 is the cost of TITAN card which is not for gaming. The gaming lineup will be priced similar to previous generation cards. So the GTX 1160/2060 will be around $300

It's the Titan V that costs $3k. Gaming variants will be cheaper. By how much, it's hard to say but Nvidia will likely use their growing gaming card monopoly to price gouge the hell out of them.

Is my gaming pc build any good?
