Could I play battlefield 1 and new games on med-high graphics?
Will it possibly overheat without cooling?
Power supply and compatibility ok?
Any help would be most appreciated thanks.
 
With the same amount of money, a better gaming rig.

I don't know everybody here in the forums. And if it isn't stated otherwise, the $ stands for USD.

As far as the initial build's compatibility goes, all parts work just fine.
And for cooling standpoint, CPU comes with stock Intel cooler and case also has 2 pre-installed fans (front and rear), so the heat should not be an issue.
 


Was kinda hoping to go Nvidia and prefer replacing the GPU over processor later on. Is the drop in CPU big?

Thanks
