Looking for a good gaming pc

[Nikola_8]

I would preferably want to build a pc

I will need it for modded minecraft, gta 5 and other fps games
My main concern is not overwhelming the CPU with gta 5 and battlefield 4

I have already looked at some parts and I would like to know if they will do, if so, what are the best settings I can play them on

If not, could you please give me some suggestions for some parts

I am also on a $700 budget
Note that I am deciding between the Nvidia gtx 950 or the radeon r9 270x as my graphics card

Case:Thermaltake Versa H22 Mid-Tower Case CA-1B3-00M1NN-00 SPCC ATX 7 x Expansion Slots 3 x 5.25" External Drive Bays
Motherboard:MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) AM3+ AMD 760G 2 SATA 6Gb/s
Graphics card:radeon r9 270x/Nvidia gtx 950
CPU:amd fx 6300 viscera 6 core
RAM:crucial 8gb ddr3
Hard drive:Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DM003)

Thank you all for your suggestions

Where do you live? That looks like Canadian pricing. You should be able to build a better rig than that if in the US.

Here's just a quick example. This rig would kill the one you listed, and the pricing is from 6 months ago, so if anything you could get even better pricing now.

Same R9 280X shown in the video, now $25 cheaper.

You are correct in saying that's canadian pricing
Thank you for your suggestion. However would you recommend an amd graphics card over geforce

...would you recommend an amd graphics card over geforce

Well, if it's CAN pricing, I can't really advise which GPU, because I don't really stay in tune with your pricing up there.

Very well I have also been strongly recommended a 3.5 ghz processor do you think that it's crucial to have a CPU with 3.5 ghz?

That all depends on the model of GPU you're running, and the model of CPU, some of which have more efficient architecture and don't need to run as high a speed. For instance a 4690k is a pretty good match to a GTX 970, even at stock speed, but running two 970s or a 980 Ti, it would be better to OC it to 4GHz.

Even then though, that OC would only net you a few more FPS. For the most part, today's Intel CPUs do fine at 3.5GHz. In a $700 rig though, I wouldn't go $100 over your budget just to go from say 3.0 to 3.5GHz.
