I'm planning to build my first rig with the following parts:

How will this build hold up to games like BF4, COD: BO2, Bioshock series, Skyrim, and some MOBA games at med-high settings? Is the cpu enough or should i go for an i5-4460? I'm trying to keep the budget as low as possible. Thanks!

I would go for a i5 aswell now that is made for gaming.

I guess you already have a HDD and a case right, also what case do you have?

This is exactly what I tell people to buy when they are looking for a budget gaming rig (i3-4xxx, 8gb ram, gtx 750 ti)

It's perfect, my only concern is storage space - do you have another HDD to put in this?

I'm still searching for a case. Somewhere along the lines of this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cougar-case-spike
or this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/raidmax-case-atx248nws

Yes I have another HDD for general storage. I just want my OS and apps to run from an SSD.

Thanks! That's a nice case and it's available in my area so i'm considering it. But I can't find the PRO4 version of the mobo so i might just stick with the asus. So I guess the i3-4160 can handle the games I mentioned then?

 

[LucoTF]

Asus mobo is fine and so is the i3, it can easily handle every game you mentioned
