Building a next gen proof pc.

[endability]

So i am going to be upgrading my pc to be able to play all the next gen titles such as Watch Dogs, bf4 ect. and was wondering if these specs could run them smooth on 1080p.

AMD FX 4300 Quad Core 4ghz
16gb ddr3 ram
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870.

What is smooth ? With setup expect medium settings 30 fps. That CPU is complete garbage for gaming and that gpu is bit dated for next gen

4gb of ram is tiny to you'll want 2 4gb sticks atleast

Ahh read 4gb for some reason but even then your CPU will be a huge bottleneck in games

What if i upgrade to a six core overclocked to 4.5ghz with water cooling? I am looking to get aroung 40-60fps on medium settings.

I'd drop the 4300 and get a 6300 as its only $15 more and its a better gaming CPU. I would drop the 16Gb of ram down to 8Gb(2x4Gb) and use the money saved there to get a GTX 760(faster gamer than a 7870).
