Is this a decent system for gaming?

[Xicer99]

This is the build i want to build like in a few months and i'll be playing games like Battlefield 3/4/Hardline: Watch Dogs: Far Cry 3 and 4(when it comes out). I'll be playing triple A titles.

Build:

CPU: Intel i5-4440

Motherboard:Asus B85M-G

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2X4GB

Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-01

PSU: Cooler Master G550M

SSD/HDD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD and WD Blue 1TB

GPU: Zotac GTX 760 2GB

You can get a R9 280X for about the same price as that GTX760, however the 280X is more powerful (in fact 280X is comparable to the GTX770).

Also, I wouldn't recommend getting a Cooler Master PSU. Get one from Antec, XFX, or Corsair that is at least 80+ Bronze Certified.

Yes it's good. It should be able to max all games at 1920 x 1080 , but turn down AA in some games. I might be able to improve on that build if you tell me your budget and where you live

Based on this

The Cooler Master G550M is in the same tier as the famous CX series. It's not the best, nor is it rubbish.

I live in Denmark(one of the most expensive country in the world 😀) My budget is around 900-920 Dollars(5000 DKK)

I know but, these brands you named they cost like A LOT more!

I just cheked, the components cost less but with shipping it costs more than in Denmark. I'm pretty lucky because that danish site i want to order my parts at ,they ship the components to my door for free 😀

It's even a bit cheaper than the Cooler Master, however, it's not modular. So...better quality, but not modular.

I was looking at that power supply but it doesn't support the Haswell C6 and C7 power saving states 😉

This is what I feel is the ' minimum ' for 1080p gaming. Start improving from here
