Hello, I was just wondering if my PC I'm planning to build is worth the cost and if it can run the games I want to play.
I want tot be able to play games like GTAV, Far Cry 4, CS:GO, GMod, ARK Survival, DayZ, and Skyrim Ultra Modded on high to ultra settings.
PC Specs:
CPU: i7 6700K
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X31
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB Twin Frozr Video Card (On 2-way SLI)
Case: NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: SP Group 600W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply
OS: Windows 10
Any recommendations are welcomed, thank you.


 
Depends on what you want to do. If you are just doing 1080p gaming there is little reason to go farther than an overclocked skylake i5 and a gtx 970/R9 290x. You would only need a monster like what you built if you are doing triple monitor or 4k gaming or doing some sort of heavy production work.
 
What resolution do you want to game at, I'm really unsure about Sli 980's, its a lot of horsepower limited by 4gb VRAM. Ok for 1440p at 144hz but apart from that there are better options.


Also 600w is not enough for sli 980's, 750w is minimum but 850w gives you headroom.
