My planned computer build.

[MrSnuggleWuggles]

Hi, I've been planning on building a computer for a fairly long time. I've finally gotten around to organizing a build, and I was wondering if this was enough to be able to run games, like League of Legends and Minecraft or potentially games I've never tried before, such as Arma III and Total War, at a stable 30 FPS with high or medium-high graphical options. I haven't been able to experience playing with high quality and stable FPS before, so that's mainly what I focused on in this build. I'm willing to go $750 into the build, so please tell me if there's a good graphics card or anything that could help me achieve that dream that I could replace. ^-^

Note: I excluded getting a hard drive and DVD drive due to the current computer I have now has those two that I can take from them. Also, all links lead to TigerDirect.com and NewEgg.com, I just used tinyurl.com to make it easier to look at.

Do you really need full tower case? They are huge. A mid-tower will be enough for most people. For $80, you can consider Consair 300R

CPU - get FX6300

RAM - there is no point getting 16GB. 8Gb should be enough

GPU - GT630 is not for gaming. Go for R9 270X. Or get R7 265 if you want to keep overall price.

I don't know much on Ultra PSU. for a budget PSU, usual pick will be Corsair CX500 or EVGA 500W

As said, do not get 16gb of memory, 8 is plenty.

That ultra power supply is horrible, only pushing 360 watts for the 12 volt rail. Get a corsair cx500 or the EVGA. Also agree on the 6300 instead of the 4300 cpu. I would also get some name brand memory and not Adata. I would suggest Gskill but tiger direct don't carry that brand unfortunately.

Ah, thanks guys! So, would this allow me run those games at the settings I wish for, or would I suffer from low FPS or the graphics being a little worse?

Would recommend the gtx750ti or r7 260x for your video card.
