      I was wondering if these specs were good I am not looking for ultra settings or anything for games. I just want it to have at least medium+ and 60fps+. Here are the specifications of the PC and I am having someone build it for me.

      Total cost: $1564.00 (The Generic DDR4 16GB is $30.00 cheaper)


      Chassis - CS-417-112 Black/Blue ATX Mid Tower Raidmax Viper Mid-Tower Gaming Case

      CPU Cooler - FA-WATER-501 120mm Corsair H60 Closed-loop Liquid Cooler

      CPU & Motherboard Combo - (I forgot to put in my Mobo so here it is, Intel Z170 Chipset Motherboard with DDR4 Support) Generic CU-215-201 Intel Core I7-6700K 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) CPU Motherboard/CPU Combo

      Hard Drive - TOSHIBA HD-SSD-002 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive + 128GB SSD Boot Drive

      Memory - GENERIC 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4-19200) Memory Model RM-601-102X2

      Graphics Card - AMD Radeon R9 390X VC-253-402 8GB Video Card

      Power Supply - PS-121-128 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Corsair CX500M Power Supply

      ODD - Generic 24X DVD/CD Re-Writer Drive Model CD-144-101

      Operating System - Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit


      EDIT (#1): Oh yea, can it run games like CS: GO, League of Legends, Team Fortress 2, or Minecraft ( Just kidding, I'm pretty sure we all know Minecraft will run 100%)
      Will there be any issues with this build like CPU Bottlenecks or anything?

      EDIT (#2): Oh there is a slight change in what RAM sticks. Instead of G.SKILL Ripjaws I am using GENERIC 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4-19200) Memory Model RM-601-102X2. Will this work just as well?

      EDIT (#3): I'm also buying a new monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
      Here is what what I plan on buying: (Edit in a Edit #1 (Changed some accessories))
      • ASUS VX238H-W White 23" 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 80,000,000:1 Built-in Speakers ($185.00 with tax) (Buy it at Amazon)

      I would get the i7 if have the money for it. BUT, the i5 is still a very good processor and will do just as fine.

      Why that junk AMD card when you have an Intel CPU?
      And I highly doubt a 500 watt power supply will cover the entire thing.

      The 390x takes 275 watts. So it will cover it. I know the PSU is overkill but doing some future upgrading. Also, why does it matter that I have AMD with Intel lol

      The 390x is also not junk. Just because it doesn't have GTX in this name doesn't mean it's junk. 390x is more powerful than the 970

      no. AMD uses a lot more power than Intel. I was serious about having fun with the powerbill.

      Of course the 390x will take more watts. It's a GPU. CPUs like the i3, i5, and the i7 take less watts, lol. AMD is not that bad, it is for people that want good quality CPUs and GPUs but at a budget price. AMD is the king of budgets, Intel king of fast processors, and Nvidia king of GPUs. You know that Intel makes CPUs and not GPUs right...?


      P.S All GPUs can take a lot of watts. Don't hate on AMD pls.

      Oh my god.. Are you dumb?
      I know the difference between a GPU and a CPU. AMD cards take a lot more power than an Intel (Nvidia) card.

      Wow, no it doesn't. So if the 390 takes 275 watts and the 980 takes 500 watts, does that mean the AMD card takes more power. Are you sure your logic makes any sense? The amount of watts are different for low end. Mid end, and high end cards. You obviously don't understand what you're talking about. The only time it can have more watts is if it's a better card/higher tier card. If the card has similar frame rates to another card, that DOESNT mean AMD will always take more power. (ANY AND ALL GPUs can use more or less watts than other GPUs doofus, that's why you don't make sense.) it doesn't matter if it's AMD.

      Go to page 2. I have one more thing to say...
