New Computer Build

[Alex2304]

Hi guys, this is my computer build at the moment I have bought just a few of the components but am in the process of deciding on the others at the moment. I want a rig for gaming (Day Z, Arma III etc.) any improvements suggested would be appreciated. I was unsure about motherboards in particular but I know I want to go with Asus.

Computer Components:
Zalman Z11 Plus Midi tower case (Bought)
Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB Sata III 3.5” Hard Drive (Bought)
Samsung 24x DVD RW (Bought)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 Motherboard
AMD FX-6350 Black Edition CPU
Corsair Vengance Low Profile 8gb DDR3 RAM
Corsair RM850 Power supply

Will this computer be able to run Day Z and Arma 3? Would the build carry out multiple applications such as Skype, ITunes, word and excel all at the same time?

The graphics card you have is PCI 3.0 while your motherboard only supports PCI 2.0
Most (pretty much all) AMD motherboards don't support PCI 3.0 (don't ask me why). It would work I think but not as fast and as efficient as it could.

Ok then what sort of graphics card do I need to look at for the best support? I have a budget of £200 for the graphics card.

Thanks,

It should run the games you want, but don't expect out of this world fps.

I think this card will fit your needs:

It runs cool and quiet and its from a reputable company with a decent warranty.

If you're going to want to play those games, go with the normal 6300 with a 970 board, and drop the PSU to a 550 or 650w unit. That should get you money for a GTX 760, which will get you much better performance. My 760 gets me almost maxed out in DayZ at 1080p at 45-50 fps.

And it doesn't matter if the motherboard is PCIe 2.0, you can still run a 780 Ti with no performance reduction, not sure where that guy heard that.

Touche my good sir,

So what effect will running a PCIe 2.0 slot on the motherboard with a PCIe 3.0 graphics card and what is a 970 board (if that is the chipset I can't seem to find it on the Asus website).
Thanks,
Alex

970 is just the chipset for AMD processors. Here's one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872&clickid=wRQ2anVvZ2ojydj0TkxpxX9eUkTR7tWF2wcNVE0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na


And you won't see anything different at all with a 3.0 GPU in a 2.0 lane, don't worry about that
