Do you mean your fps in games like new games? It would be very good and very smooth playing but as you are investing so much money in such high end gear have you considered perhaps 16gb of ram instead of 8? And maybe a better cooler than the one you stated. It's a good mid to low end cooler but the rest of your gear kinda makes it look bad. I suppose it's fine if your not going to overclock. I would definetley get another 8gb of ram though
Hey Nathan,
Welcome to the forum! You asked a great question about computer FPS; you're making a big investment and you want to get the best out of your purchase. I'm assuming you mean how many frames per second you will get on the games you are playing. I'm sure you already know this already but as long as the FPS is higher than 60 fps, the gameplay will be smooth and not skipping. There are several factors based on hardware and software.
1) Hardware:
Which you have the right idea already, picking a great graphics card like the Radeon R9. If you know what game you want to play and it is a recent game, you'll have much better luck finding out how many frames per second you'll get from that graphics card. My suggestion is to search on google "Radeon R9 and [name of game]" This way you'll find a general consensus of what FPS you'll likely be able to get.
CPU: a Core i5 is certainly a great CPU, however the best combo would be with an i7 of any kind. This will give your Radeon R9 the best chance of performing its best.
RAM: I would start with 16GB
Hard drive: I would choose a SSD hard drive as the loading times (between stages and startup) for large games would be greatly reduced dramatically sometimes buy as much as 30 seconds or more. The down side of an SSD is of course size and cost. The ideal set up would be to have a smaller SSD (games/windows) and a regular hard drive (other files).
2) Software: this is the in game settings, such as antialiasing, resolution, shadows, ultra high quality vs medium quality etc... Of course the higher the quality/resolution the more the game will demand a better graphics card to keep the FPS over 60.
I hope you find this helpful! Glad to have you here.
