How good is this Gaming PC build?

[TJtheGamer]

Okay, so I was just wanting some extra opinions on my build. First off I would love if someone could double check that all my parts are compatible. I would also like to know how this computer is for price compared to performance. Lastly I would love to know if I could play games like: Dayz with mods, Battlefield 4, Rainbow Six Siege, and Arma 2/3. Thank you in advance for any answers and help here is the build:

* CPU is plenty for most people and situations.
* Mobo is a good option.
* RAM is plenty for gaming and they are 1600 Mhz, CAS 9, & 1.5v
* GPU is better than a GTX 660.
* Case is a solid one and allows you more upgrades in the future and should last several builds.
* PSU is overkill, but is affordable and will last through several upgrades.

Best price/performance is i5-4690K and HD 7970, just so you know.

Case is too thin for the GPU, I believe.

And this probably would do >60 on 1080P Medium.

7970??? Did I hear that right?

No the best is 4460 w/GTX 970 if the OP can afford that. I listed the GTX 960 thinking that would be similar price as a 4690k/GTX 660.

x)

Yeah, AMD Radeon HD 7970 must have been the best $/performance last year then, before the GTX 970 came out... Hmm. Interesting.

 

[lunyone]

Yeah the 7970 Ghz edition was quite good, but it's 2015 and the GTX 970 or R9 390 are the best gaming for the $ right now, IMHO (assuming you can afford them).

Ok also is the graphics card I have chosen capable for using Nvidia Shadowplay?

So it appears to me that you must know your stuff and so I am wondering if all my parts are compatible and if the build would be able to run the games I listed above. I am extremely interested in playing Dayz standalone, the Dayz mod, and Arma 2/3 those are also the games I was worried about since they are a bit CPU intensive. So in short are all my parts compatible/will anything bottleneck and would the I5 core I have be capable of running Rainbow Six Siege, Dayz, and Arma. Also thank you so much for your reply.

Yes you can run those games, but the GTX 660 is a bit dated and will hold you back. This is why I suggested the build above. Now if you currently own the GTX 660 you can use it with the CPU that you selected, but if your building this system from scratch, I would opt for my build for similar $. The key to playing well in games is having the best GPU that you can afford with a decent CPU also. The it 4460/4590 are the least CPU that I'd buy for the games that your talking about. The 4690k will OC and give you some more FPS, but then you would probably need to buy a better CPU cooler, which would cost more. In gaming the i5 4460/4590 are going to perform pretty close the the 4690k at a reduced price, which you can use that extra $ on upgrading the GPU (which the better GPU will allow you better gaming performance).

Ok I see your point and would like to thank you for all your help and will look into the build you suggested some more. Thank you again for all your help.

No problem at all. Glad I could help you out.
