Looking for feedback on my PC

[Austin Compton]

Hello everyone. I'm planning on buying this rig this summer <http://pcpartpicker.com/p/L2bfCJ>
and I was wondering if it would be able to run games such as Arma 2, more specifically the Dayz mode for Arma 2, Arma 3, BF4, and if I would be able to stream games on Twitch. Any part alterations for suggestions are welcome.

Dude the page that you linked cannot be found... What is your specs??

CPU- i5-4690k
GPU- MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Gold Edition
Motherboard-ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 KillerATX
RAM- 12GB DDR3-1600
PSU- Antec High Current Gamer 620W

Looks solid to me. Only thing I would change is to swap the ram for 2x4GB modules, 12GB isn't needed for gaming, and to either drop down to a locked i5 if you don't plan on overclocking or add an aftermarket cooler to overclock the 4690k.

edit: just saw streaming. In that case I would look into a cheaper motherboard and go for a Xeon 1230 V3. The CPU performs like an i7 without the integrated Intel HD graphics.

Thank you very much, i'm a bit new to the whole PC gaming thing so I didn't know exactly what I was doing.

Glad to help. If you gave me a budget I could post a sample part list.

Dude just change the mobo to a Z97 not a Z87... And the ram is fine, if you really want to go with 12gb by all means. 8 Gb is the thresh hold for gaming now, but I see it changing pretty soon. Better to get more now...

Austin - Bad news. Your link isn't the right one. When I clicked on it, it took me to my build, not yours. When you're in your saved part list, look for the link that has a lot of weird letters at the end. That's the right one. It's over to the left and called "Permalink."

Hope that helps!
