should work ok, though the pentium dual core may struggle in some games that really want 4+ threads (GTA V, Fallout 4, Battlefield 3 & 4 come to mind)

this desn't have as powerful a cpu, but the gpu is better, should get 50+ FPS on high in most games, some can run ultra:

Hello, thanks for the sharp reply, i will mainly be playing DayZ Standalone and world of warcraft, how does the CPU effect the games? is it loading times or gameplay in general? i do like the look of the build you posted, thank you

depends on the game: Warcraft is really CPU dependent, while Bioshock Infinite is more GPU dependent. every game is a different in its balance
