Questions on a pc build.

[yomamasfatllamas]

I was wondering if this pc build was good for the price. If so, what could it play? Could it play DayZ, Battlefield 4, COD WAW, COD BO2, and any other recent games? Are there any parts that you would recomend that are better and cheaper that also fit with all of the other parts to build a pc? Thank you in advance for any assistance!

It can easily play all the games you mentioned at Ultra settings.

first of all, you're buying a unlocked processor, and no cooler. a coolermaster hyper 212 evo is a great choice for only 30 bucks. also, your case supports full atx mobos, so you should get a full sized atx board with support for another 970, for when you have the extra money. the ram is too expensive, you can buy a 20 bucks cheaper option for the same performance. the psu isnt really great, you should look for something with better reviews and better quality for overclocking. an ssd is a must these days for anything above 600(ish) bucks, so a 120 gig ssd should cost 50-60 bucks and will DRAMATICALLY effect the responsiveness of your machine. the case, cpu, gpu and hdd are fine, and especially the gtx 970 is a GREAT priceerformance card.
Hope this helps

Do you have an aftermarket cooler and are your planning to overclock? If not, don't get an unlocked cpu

I am not going to do any overclocking. What do you mean by an unlocked cpu? Sorry, im kind of new to computer.

 

[davidarad02]

an unlocked cpu is a cpu which you can change its multiplier for overclocking. when you overclock, you set a multiplier that will dictate the speed of the processor.

so would i have to change the cpu?

 

[davidarad02]

if you dont want to overclock, you should swap it for a cheaper, similar performance cpu that's locked, so you wont have the price premium for an unlocked processor.

That's all good, unlocked means that your cpu can be overclocked. Since you aren't overclocking, they you should get an Intel cpu without the K on the end of it.
