How good is this gaming desktop?

[bacon4life]

I'm building my first gaming rig and I want to know if it will be good for me.

Desktop: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/P3RDTW

I'm really only worried about the motherboard, because I don't know if I would like to overclock (I think I would have to get a new CPU) and/or do the Crossfire thing with the two graphic cards in the future. What do you guys think I should do?

Game I play/plan on playing:

Spintires

Unturned

Black Ops 2

CoD MW3

BeamNG.Drive

Counter Strike: Global Offense

Pretty good! HIS isn't the most reputable brand of GPU, but the R9 290 would be fine. I would prefer the XFX below though... I would also swap the PSU out for an XFX or Seasonic offering. Enjoy that rig!

I do not know much about overclocking but this gaming desktop will be ample enough to play the games listed with out overclocking. You could also play bigger games like advanced warfare and farcry 4.

for the games you listed they don't need an amazing pc to play so yeah that build would be great for those games, only thing i would change is the windows 8 i would have windows 7 as there's just so many problems with windows 8 which is why they are already creating a windows 10, just my opinion haha, Plus if you could get a different brand of motherboard i would, Gigabyte and Asus are the best brands of motherboards, they are just trust worthy, Asrock sure it could be good but it just doesn't have the same trust.

Total bull because I have the 280X and I`m playing BF4, COD AW and Far Cry 4 on Ultra settings without any problems.

So a 290X is more then enough to play all modern games.
