is this good for average gaming

[kair153]

so im building a pc in the summer wondering how good this is, i dont really play new release games so nothing overly fancy just powerful enough to play the average game on max. btw i may do some minor overclocking for when i render the old video or two

Yeah that´s a great build to play most games on max at 1080p.

This build will be perfect for playing the latest titles at med to high settings.

But, I would suggest going with 2x4gb sticks of ram insted of 1x8gb. So take advantage of dual channel. And improve performance

 

[cjnnewman]

Average game on max for sure, games like BF4 will probably play 60fps 1080p with high settings and possible no AA.

Yeah thats fine. You should get 2x4gb ram instead of a single 8 gb though.

 

[unksol]

you really should get two 4GB sticks of ram not one 8GB stick

yeah i heard about the dual channel being better although its more expensive and shouldnt really impact fps much so its some fat i can shred

edit: i dont really play bf so im cool there

You´ll be fine without dual channel and you could buy more ram in the future.
