Help (might pay)

[swingcorsair]

May someone tell me if this is a good pc build? I will pay if I get some good answers. How much fps will it run on cs-go and minecraft? Thanks

Change your 960 2GB to a 980 4GB (I have a 980 and its perfect, for any game)
Get a full tower - I have one and it's great when you want to add more ram or upgrade
Upgrade to 16GB

Don't go with AMD if you're looking for performance. A general rule of thumb: AMD is for reliability, Intel is for performance.

Do not use AMd

Even though the core used in the OP's post is AMD, it rekt's over the core that you have provided in your build. The AMD core beat your core by like 3k when comparing benchmarks .

Quad Core sucks and 3.2 GHz is trash, It would be better if he just stayed with amd or get a really expensive intel

You'll easily run 60+ heavy shaders and fraps prolly 200+ fps csgo your build is fine for the price good work

A 980 isn't necessary for most games.... That is overkill imo. A 960 will do just fine.

It is a good build. Minecraft will run at around 300+ fps, 60+ fps with shaders and intense resource packs, and csgo will run at around 160+ fps, so no worries there. You might want to get a graphics card with a bit more VRAM on it though, games like GTA alone might end up consuming around 3Gb of vram in 1080p resolutions, that is, if you would like to play any other games except MC and CS, which i highly think you will. Hope this helped!

Depends on if you want to play GTAV at super HD realism mod and whatnot XD.

But yeah, in general a 960 will do.

heck, I'm currently running an integrated Intel 4400, and it still runs perfectly smoothly up until higher quality next-gen (starting from GTAV and up from there). If an intel graphics card can do that, a 960 can run pretty much anything at reasonable settings.

Well at least it will help you in the long run, don't think about the money in this case, spend a couple extra hundred, no big deal unless if you mom is buying it for you, then that is your problem for not making your own money.

GTA V CSGO will all run better with a 980. I can vouch for it too since I have one myself.

And once again, Overkill. I have a 730 in my pc, ( Yes a 730 ) and I can run, Csgo, Gta, All of these games fine. 980 is very unneeded.

What is considered "fine" to you, isn't considered fine to somebody else. My fine is 500-800 fps in games. Maybe for you it is 90. I'm just saying it will help in the long run because I know with a 730, you will be VERY laggy in gta v and in the newer games coming out.

Not true at all? I have a stable 40fps in gta, 300+ in csgo and 350+ in mc.

So you lag in gta, there you go. Plus for your games, you quality level is probably at the lowest so you can get the most frames. If the op wants to spend a bit of money which will help in the LONG RUN unlike a 730 or whatever you have which will not be able to run GOOD games in a couple years.
