Solid build for 1080p gaming

[D J Lee]

Hey guys, i'm currently looking to upgrade from my current PC (i5-4570, gtx660).

I am going to be playing on a 1080p monitor, and possibly upgrade to 1440p. 4k is definitely not on my radar. How does this build look for maxing games (such as ARK, Arma 3, Guild Wars 2, and Black Desert Online when it releases) at 1080p?

Excelent. Your CPU is fine, adding a 390 will handle fine game listed, but if you want to upgrade, it will work fine too.

For 1080p that's a great build, I would generally recommend gtx 970 for 1080p but since you plan on going 1440p, then having an r9 390 now and maybe crossfiring it later will provide best 1440p performance. However if you plan on getting sli you need a bigger PSU. Also what is your current motherboard? The i5-4570 is extremely close to i5-6500 in performance, so this upgrade might be useless and it would be 10 times better to drop it and just stick with your motherboard and CPU and invest this money in gtx 980ti which will provide way way more performance with your old cpu than an r9 390/gtx 970 with i5-6500.
