Would this build be able to play arma, gta v, rust, and Dayz? Also if anyone has a better build that would be either cheaper or slightly more expensive but has more performance please list it. Budget within 600-750ish Thanks!

This is the cheapest one I would like.

This one is a bit more expensive since its intel, but I would get more performance out of it since its the i5 6600k?

The FX-8350 is on a dead socket and the architecture is five years old; it makes no sense to invest in it today.

The GTX 970 and R9 390 offer similar performance at 1080p and even 1440p, with the 390 usually pushing out a small lead in the latter. The big difference is that the GTX 970 offers that level of performance whilst using far less power and emitting far less heat. That said, why anyone would opt for a 970 or 390 now that the RX 480 and GTX 1060 have been released is anyone's guess. The same goes for the GTX 960.

The Hale PSU is far from the best and not befitting a gaming PC, especially one that can be overclocked; http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html.

OP, if I were you, I'd take this build...

Okay thanks, but do you think theres any way I can go cheaper but still be able to play on med-high settings with 30-40fps?

 


And even though the msi r9 390 has 8gigs of vram, I should still go with gtx 970?
 
Well, I assumed you selected those builds because they were in your budget. You could go with cheaper video cards, you can always upgrade the video card later. But if they are in your budget, go with your Intel build.
 


They are, I just wanted to know if there were cheaper options available that would be fine for the games I wanted to play. And yes that is true, I might just do that. Do you have any recommendations on cheaper gpus that can play those games I listed at medium-high settings at 30ish fps?

OP, if I were you, I'd take this build instead. Consider swapping out the RX 480 for a GTX 1060.
