To Tom's Hardware community:
I have the following gaming-centered build in mind:
  • Intel i5-4440 (stock cooler)
  • Nvidia GTX-970
  • 16GB DDR3 RAM
  • ASRock Z97M Killer motherboard
  • Samsung 960 Pro/SM 961
  • Any 1TB mechanical hard disk
I am able to acquire all of these parts for less that $400, and I already have the case, psu, and other assorted parts. However, I wonder if this is enough for 60fps 1080p gaming on medium/low high setting on most games? Or are these components just too obsolete?
Sincerely
A Confused Gamer​
P.S. Is there any tangible difference (besides capacity) between an OEM 250GB SM961 and the retail 512GB 960 PRO?
