Short answer is yes.

Longer answer is actually a question, which is what resolution are you wanting to play at, and at what settings? A single 970 with is not going to push out ultra settings 4kUHD at 60+fps, but then to be fair dual 970s won't do that either. The monitor you listed will do 1080p, so you can play HD games. The 970 is a robust little card, I think you'll really enjoy it, but the best thing is that if you want to upgrade you just get another and go SLI, versus upgrading to a 980.

Try checking out systemrequirementslab.com, it will let you select a game and then scan your PC to see if you can run it. Not sure if there's an option to input system info manually.

okay thanks so if i was to upgrade to a 980 i would be able to max out settings play at 1080p? id just like smooth running with maxed 1080p probably. or would 1 970 do the job for like call of duty and bf4 and gta 5 at 1080p going atleast 40fps?

and 1 last question. with all my parts would they all fit into any pc case? or is there specifics i need to get? id like to get a beast looking case but im not sure if all the parts would fit?

That is certain to run the game easily at 1080p@60fps high/ultra (If the game turns out to be properly optimised).

so do i only need the 970? or should i upgrade to the 980? and will all these parts fit in the case??

 

[RCFProd]

- GTX 970 is good enough for 1080p
- Your power supply is very overkill. If you are not planning to SLI in the future, you're fine with even a good 550-650 watts power supply (For example the XFX XTR 550w)
- The 400R is big enough to fit all of those components easily.

If you want I can suggest you things that would save you money. If you have no problems getting the build you've listed yourself, you're good to go though.

yeah if you could, please list some parts that would still be good enough to high/ultra settings at 1080p smoothly.

i did some research last night and updated what im thinking of getting. WOULD EVERYTHING FIT??

(No peripherals included)

The motherboard is a killer for the price, better than the Z97-A from Asus.

I suggest i7-4790k because in some games you really get better performance with it. Battlefield 4 for example.

 

[Brayden Kelly]

thanks everybody!

i've decided to go with something around these lines (it may change in the future)

just wondering if it would all fit & work fine ?

That's alright but that power supply is messed up for that build. Get the PSU I or Rog suggested.

You could buy the seagate 1tb hdd if you need some extra cash for the better psu.

Thanks! Could you name a specific PSU for my build? It would be a lot easier and not too pricey please thanks!

But headroom for futureproofing is better to be fair, if you can afford the EVGA B2 750w just go for it. Reduce HDD size to 1GB if you have to.
