$1200 PC Build - Is it good?

So I'm thinking of getting this build, but I want some more feedback. It should be able to run Witcher 3 at max settings around 30 fps, which I won't even be playing to begin with. I'm mostly looking to run Arma, Dayz, those sort of games as I usually leave the more graphical games to my PS4 and all the PC exclusives to my, of course, PC.

Any thoughts? Changes?


Right now my max budget is $1200, this will include the PC and Keyboard, nothing else.


If anything can be changed for something better, I'm willing to go over a little, but not by too much. Thanks!

No.. Why get and AMD 3.2Ghz when you get get something actually good like a i7-4790k 4Ghz

Not to be an asshole or anything, but you haven't been very helpful to me in anyway, therefore I won't take this advice. With that said, I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to building computers, so if you could explain why and the price different that'd be great.[DOUBLEPOST=1436734250,1436733940][/DOUBLEPOST]

Just looked up the price of your preferred processor, you might have forgot to mention it costs $400... read the thread please.

So first rule of building a PC... AMD sucks. Some people disagree but Intel is always better. If you want to record videos and things I recommend an i7 with at least 16gb or RAM (Preferably Vengeance). If you only want to play games, a high end i5 with 8gb of ram is good. My computer is 4.4Ghz. I do not recommend anything below a 3.6..

Your cooler is good and the mother board is ok. Your storage is also good.

I recommend a Nvidia Graphics card. Anything from a GTX 770 to a GTX 980 would be good enough. (Higher depending on if you want to run games and record).

The power supply and case dosnt really matter but they are both good. I also reccomend if you are going all out with this pc to use LAN and not wifi, but thats your choice.

I'm not really looking to record videos. But, if you wanna be a bae and post the parts that need replacing with the ones that will be replaced with, that'd be great. Please not that price though, $1200 or a little over.

You can get a good i5 for the same price as a AMD![DOUBLEPOST=1436734436,1436734405][/DOUBLEPOST]
Ok! Ill look for something I would get on your budget

thank you sir

For that money you could get a 85% better build...

Would you mind listing what that would be? lol

 

[SourVag]

Its in my country, don't know if you can get the same in your country

"Its on a webpage where you re-sell stuff."

That doesn't answer my question what that build is. You say I can get an 85% better build, yet you don't state what it is or where I can get it.

Because that would be twice as much lmao come on man he's on a budget

Actually I am an idiot... Im thinking in Pounds and not dollars. The specs i said may be a little high for what you can afford. I mean.. the pc you chose is fairly good. It would still play most games on full.

Well hey, I'm up for anything. If you could find something better for a little higher price, it's not like I'm going to stop myself from spending a few more bucks to get it, and by few more I mean $20 or so.

a intel i7 with 4ghz , GeForce GTX 970 (A almost new one here costs about 400euros "Average")

I might have been over-reacting its like 20% better ;D

If you read the thread, you might have noticed that my budget is roughly $1200.
