Good Gaming Build?

[AaronMcmillen]

Is this a good build for a gaming pc that can run most games on medium to high graphics settings?

MSI GeForce GTX 960 DirectX 12 GTX 960 GAMING 4G
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB
Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5 GHz
MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5 LGA 1150
MasterCase Pro 5 Mid-Tower Case with FreeForm Modular System
Cooler Master Hyper D92
EVGA 120-G1-0750-XR PowerSupply

This is my first pc build and i really know nothing about this type of thing so I would appreciate any help i can get.

It needs a better psu. You could easily have a GTX970 without increasing the overall price. That would be much better.

 

[AaronMcmillen]

Could you suggest a power supply?

 

[CTurbo]

What is your budget? Are you in the US?

 

[AaronMcmillen]

Yes i'm in the us i would like to stay under a 1000$.

It is not a fire hazard, but it is well below average in terms of quality and reliability. Add to the fact that there are a dozen much better units in the same price range, I would say it's a pretty terrible choice for a $1000 build.

Ths will run gamees like battlefield 4 on high settings at 60 fps?

 

[CTurbo]

Yes easily

 

[AaronMcmillen]

Thank you for helping me out. this is most likely going to be my first build. Any tips on building it?

 

[CTurbo]

Nah don't overthink it. Its really not hard.

[AaronMcmillen]

Ok thanks again.

If you wanna do only gaming and push your pockets to limit go with this because this gives better gaming performance. But for if you wanna use for other purposes too go with Turbo's build as it has SSD for boot and micro applications.

That build does not include windows. He could simply add a GTX980 to my build if he needed that much graphics power.

Sorry guys forgot to include Windows in the build. It will take some time for me to get used to how things work in USA. In India we treat hardware build and software package as complete different things. Sorry for the inconvenience.
