Help Me Build My New PC (1080 60 FPS)

[HiptonismHD]

I've had my current computer for almost two years now. I really want to upgrade but finding out what will do what I need it to do for what games, and what hardware is compatible with other hardware, is really intimidating since I'm new to building a computer myself. The computer I'm using now is a PC that is custom, but built for me by Ironside Computers.

My current specs are:

•Motherboard: AMD FM2 Chipset Motherboard
•CPU: AMD Athlon x4 760K 3.8GHz (Quad Core)
•RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866MHz
•Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 2GB
•Hard Drive: Two 3TB 7200 RPM
•Power Supply: 600 Watt Power Supply

I would guess I can keep my existing Hard Drives and potentially reuse the RAM but I'm not sure.

I need a build that can run games like; Battlefield 4, GTA 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, and other large titles that are known for needing a lot to run.

I would like to have an Intel and Nvidia set-up. (I'm not exactly looking for a "Budget PC" but obviously not something too ridiculously priced)

Also, something I was always unsure about, is if I could just get away with maybe just swapping a graphics card or something and being able to stick with what I have, though building an entire new machine sounds fun, and just sounds like it would be nicer.

Thanks for the help!

Something like this will handle quite well for years to come.

Thanks, I will keep this part picker link, and keep this setup in mind. I'll wait to see any further suggestions, and the help is really appreciated!

That is a solid build but I would swap out the 970 for a 390 and a Xeon would be better than that i5 for similar price.

Swap the 970 for a 390? Maybe I'm confused here but that sounds like a MASSIVE downgrade
