Hi guys, I am a first time PC builder and I am looking to build a PC during Winter Break this year. My main goal is to play Watch Dogs on ultra settings 60FPS and Skyrim/Fallout:NV with only 2k texture mods with ENBs. This is on 1920x1080p only btw. I do not plan to upgrade anything anytime soon, besides another SSD or LED lights later on. I am not sure how to OC a CPU, but can learn.
This is a setup that I picked after looking around for about two days, comparing and researching on various forums and YouTube.

Please give me some advice on which parts to change or what not. I also hope for prices to drop by the time I am actually going to build this PC. (Probably late Dec/early Jan)

I am pretty set on the case(unless you guys can forward me to a cheaper, blue case) and the GPU for now as I like how both of them look. Also, is it worth losing the i5 for an AMD 8 core CPU for the sake of budgeting? I have Windows 7 on a thumb drive already.

Thank you.

'My main goal is to play Walking Dogs' lol what.
You have a cpu that can overclock but your motherboard won't let you do that, either get a z97 board or change the cpu to a i5 4690
Get a samsung evo or intel ssd, more reliable
change the psu, it's not very good

Ah, okay. Sorry, a huge typo on my part, haha. I meant "Watch Dogs". It's a bit late in the US right now.
 


np, just made me laugh :) Just do some of the changes I suggested and you should be okay
 


Which PSU would you recommend getting? I am not sure which one to get besides looking for 80+(bronze, gold etc)
 


any from seasonic, xfx or evga, they're the go to for psu's really
 

Thank you!
