Hello Tom's community,

Creating my first computer build for gaming.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C7qgGX

If you can see any weakness's or if you can help me trim costs by seeing things that maybe I wont need that would be great.
Goals for this build:
1: Run fallout 4 on max setting 1080p/60 fps and at least run any of the more graphically intense games on mid to high settings.

2: This be somewhat future proof as far as upgrade room in the case ,power supply, motherboard etc.

3: my limit is $850 hard but id like it to be $800 or below. That being said for what I want to do am I going way to far or am in the right price range?


PS. i know that an SSD would be better I'm planing on getting both a smaller SSD for the OS and a select few programs and then the HDD for everything else.

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this, any advice would be appreciated.

Do you have a recommended Graphics card that would be better for the price range I'm going for? and what Motherboard would you suggest?

Thank you for your help with this
