Good Desktop Gaming Builds?

[NathanTheKid]

Hi question-answerer! I am wondering if these two builds are good for their $600 and $700 price range. I will be gaming and very light vid edits. Feel free to leave tips/suggestions! Thanks, Nathan

Both are excellent gaming builds for their price range. A lot of thought went into these from a knowledgable person. Expect 40-50 FPS in demanding games like the Witcher 3 and Dying Light at ultra settings at 1080p at least. Most games you should get close to an average of 60fps, though not quite. Lower a few of those more demanding settings and you've got yourself a smooth gaming experience.

They are alright except the psus aren't very good. ALso not a very good price on a GTX960. This would be much better.
