This is my first time building a PC. I've done some some research on the parts, but I'm not experienced enough to know if my build can handle many games and if I'm getting my money's worth. Here's the build:

CPU

AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor $94.99

Motherboard

MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard $59.00

Memory

A-Data XPG V1.0 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $74.79

Storage

Toshiba Product Series: DT01ACA 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $49.99

Video Card

Zotac GeForce GT 630 2GB Video Card $77.86

Case

Thermaltake VL80001W2Z ATX Mid Tower Case $43.00

Power Supply

Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply $49.99


The Total cost is about 460 Canadian dollars. Does anyone know How many FPS would I get on what settings in these games?

Minecraft (with shaders??), Team Fortress 2, Warframe, Planetside, Planetside 2, goat simulator, chivalry, Ace Of Spades

Also, how easy would it be to update my PC? Would I need a new power supply as well?
I am also well aware that this won't give me top notch performance, I just want a pc that can play smaller games such as minecraft or team fortress 2.
I'm planning on doing lots of upgrades in the future, when I have the money, but for now, a mediocre gaming computer will do. If the computer needs better parts, then what parts would you reccomend changing?
I won't be playing any high-end games, but, just to see, how well would this run games like Battlefield 4?

Thanks in advance!

Looking at results on game-debate, the cpu is 9/10, graphics is 5/10 and ram is 9/10. So upgrade your graphics card. I will reccomend the MSI AMD R7770 1GB DDR5 which is around $130 - $150 canadian dollars. Even though the overall cost will bump up to $520ish dollars, you will get 9/10 instead of 5/10 with the 630. If you were to get an amount of fps, I would say above 60fps. You should be able to play Minecraft on max settings quite smoothly but with the upgraded graphics card, it will make a BIG difference.

Save yourself some money and dump the gt630. Spend 30-40$ more on the cpu for an A10 which will be good enough for what you've listed. Spend the 5$ at that point to bump yourself to 1866 memory to get a few more fps out of the apu.
