absolutely. you will max those games with room to spare on that monitor. maybe consider a downgrade on the GPU to a 980 and an upgrade on the CPU to a 4790K just to be a bit more comfortable with recording.

Great setup. I agree with TofuLion in every way. Go for a 980, and get the i7. DX12 is going to work a lot more with Hyperthreading, so it's a worthy investment.

The only thing I'd strongly suggest is an SSD. Hybrids are okay, but nowhere near an SSD. You're building a Porsche...don't give it a 4 cylinder 😉.
 


Haha, touch'e sir. That actually made me laugh. Okay, I'll re-phrase...

If you're building a Porsche, don't try to give it a lawn mower engine
