First Gaming PC

[Rodrigomariath]

Hello everyone, I am building a gaming PC from scratch for the first time but I don't really know much about parts and components. I have a 700€ budget and need a screen. What do you guys think about this setup? Will it run games of this generation?

Intel Core i3-4160 (3.6 GHz)
Processeur Socket 1150 - Dual Core - Cache 3 Mo - Haswell

MSI H81M-E33
Carte mère mATX - Socket 1150 - Chipset Intel H81 - USB 3.0 - SATA 6 Gb/s

DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Low Profile, 8 Go, 1600 MHz, CAS 10
Mémoire DDR3 - PC-12800 - Low-Profile

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13
Ventirad Tour - PWM - Socket AMD AM3(+)/AM2(+)/FM2(+)/FM1/940/939 et Intel 1366/1150/1155/1156/775

MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GD5T OC, 2 Go
Carte graphique PCI-Express overclockée

Western Digital Caviar Blue, 1 To
Disque dur 3.5" - 7200 tpm - 64 Mo - SATA III - Bulk

Cooler Master Elite Power, 460W
Alimentation PC

(It's in french since I'm buying from topachat.com but you'll recognize de name of the components, I suppose)

All help will be much appreciated suggestions too

Hello there, I cannot comment on much of the stuff but from the little knowledge I have it looks good! I am gaming on a rig that would probably not be much more than that and have all new games on high/highest. But do you have a quality preference? One thing I will say from personal experience is that maybe change the HDD from Blue to Black? Someone can correct me on this but from past gaming rigs the HDD has made a difference.

Cheers,

Caleb.

everything is ok except the motherboard, it probably won't work with the i3-4160 without a BIOS update.

Either get a cheap H97 board like the Asus Pro 4, or get an i3-4130 instead

EDIT: oh, and get a better quality power supply

Change out the ram for ether Mushkin, G.skill, or Kingston, you will be able to get 1600Mhz CL 9 cheaper then the corsair 1600MHz CL 10 ram you have selected.

Hi

You should buy this:

Intel Core i5 4460 (if you can afford it, otherwise take the i3)

AsRock B85 Anniversary

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

Alpenföhn Brocken Eco

R9 280, it has 3GB VRAM, instead of 2GB (GTX 960)

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Superlower HX 450 or a LC-Power 9550
