Is this PC Good Enough?

I was just wondering if this PC is good for playing AAA games and will last me a fair while. Is the psu enough to power the gpu? What sort of frame rate will I be getting? Any improvements without spending any more money?

Thanks!

(P.S) I also would like to know if there is any other parts of a computer that is necessary apart from the basics, like internet cards and os. Is there any more required?

Much as those of us here would like to help you, we kinda need a build list to review. Get us one, and we will get back to you

You will be fine High to Ultra for about 45 - 60 (maybe more) with this build. I have the last generation R9 280 from Sapphire and it's been kicking ass at everything without breaking much of a sweat. The 4460 is good, and the B85 board will go along with it since you can't overclock a no "K" chip, but you are kind of locking yourself out of a possible upgrade cycle by going the B85 route. Devil's Canyon hardware will continue to drop in price used as people upgrade. By running B85, you won't be doing a whole lot of OC'ing if you got your hands on a 4790k or somethin.

Also, all you will need besides the base build is an OS, keyboard, mouse monitor, stuff like that. NiC's and other fun stuff are usually integrated to a motherboard now. If you need Wi-FI, you will need a secondary card as I don't think that motherboard has it integrated.

That all said, this will be perfectly fine and will get you along at 1080P just fine for a couple years. Going to be iffy after that

Thank you for the reply, also, will the i7 4790k run on that mobo or will I need to upgrade? And how long will it last before it starts getting iffy? Thanks again.

The 4790K will run on it should you upgrade to it, but B85 motherboards are not built for overclocking. A Z series motherboard is recommended if you decide to overclock the chip past what would be considered a small margin

I am never going to OC so it doesn't really matter I will just stay with that mobo, thanks for the help

first a better cpu if you want would be a 4690K it is not to much more and will give you better performance
also for your psu you can get one that is a bit better for 40$ cheaper the evga bronze series http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014

No problem man. Glad to see another system getting built from scratch

Ok well the cpu is $50 more so I can save for that maybe and the PSU my mate gave to me for free and its only 2 months old and treated well in a nice build so I am keeping that psu, but thanks for the suggestion.

your welcome
however i do have one other sugestion if you are able to spend 30-50 more dollers you could get a gtx 970 which is significantly better than a 380 or if you want an amd comparison about the same as a 390x mayber a bit slower but it is around 300-330 depending on the model so you can research that a bit
