Is this pc good for games at high/ultra

[DrJoeyyy]

AMD Piledriver FX-6350 Six Core 4.2GHz Turbo CPU
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 4
8GB 1600MHz DDR4 RAM / 1TB Hard Drive / 500W PSU Bronze Rated

Will this be able to play games such as Battlefield 1 and Witcher 3 on high?

Not really. Your cpu is kind of weak and will probably bottleneck the 1060 in a lot of games.

Performance will be decent though.

id be looking at more medium settings with decent frame rate, if so what kind as an estimate?

You can max out games at 1080p on that. I have a Phenom II X6 1100T which is similar (if a bit faster) that has no problem with anything I throw at it at 1080p with an RX 480. There is a minor bottleneck but it does not effect playability and you never will see it on screen. Lowering the details won't help as the CPU is the drag.

Totally depends on game. Some push CPU hard (sometimes unfairly due to poor optimisation). Otherwise you should be ok.

Things like crysis 3, just cause, witcher in towns etc will certainly 100% cause a CPU bottleneck. Depends what you play

Have you bought it yet? If no don't, the 6350 is old and will hold that gpu back in CPU heavy games. An i3 6100 should cost similar, perform much better and gives you very good upgrade options

I've had an FX 6350 to 4.950GHz and it was impressive for a 6 core. But I would still go with at least the FX 8300 for a GTX 1060. Modern games like Fallout 4 and those burgessanthony mentions will benefit a bit from the extra cores.

If you can wait just a few months, Zen will be out soon.

This is a good point some games will get jammed up. For example I play Star Citizen which is really poorly optimized, some cases smooth, some cases its VERY noticeable. As I said lowering details doesn't help when its the CPU. That said a CPU bottleneck doesn't always rear itself as a playability issue, but the possibility is there.
