PC / hardware tips

[drPhibes]

Long story cut short: I haven't built a computer for years (back in the AMD Athlon XP days), so I have no idea of what hardware to go for when buying a new gaming PC. I'd like to be able to run DCS:W 2 with all settings maxed (1920x1080), with no low fps (> 30-40-ish) when flying at treetop level over Vegas.

 

Would this be up to the task?

CPU: i7-67003.4GHz

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB

RAM: 8GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz

HDD: Crucial® BX200 240GB for OS and some other SSD for other stuff.

OS: Win 7

With a i5 6600k and a good cooler. A Samsung 850 (SSD) and a Seasonic 7200.14.

Yes.

 

Get a 6600K instead of the 6700 and overclock it, the i7's are almost never worth the price hike.
