Re: Pc specs - Opinion
Things I would change that wouldn't make too much of an impact on your price are:
RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1866MHz
Processor: Intel Core i5-4690k
I'd also get an SSD (Atleast 120G)

Re: Pc specs - Opinion
Why not the K version of the processor? Are you sure you will never want to OC?
Why a micro ATX Mobo? Are you doing a small case build?
Why the 760 instead of the 960? Unless its used or refub they seem to go for roughly the same price.
At this price point I would like to see a fully modular PSU, semi modular at a minimum, the one you have selected is not modular at all.
There is also no case specified and make sure to include the cost of windows (the OS not the hole in the side of a case to look inside haha).
It should play in single player at high settings but online you will have to be careful of how many skins you have and turn the settings down.

Re: Pc specs - Opinion
I have pretty much those specs but a gtx660, I run 512x512, 8/80 (both) shader programs: on, shaders/copy, lens flares & reflections: yes, at least 20-30 custom bikes and I'm getting around 90 - 100 fps in the emf races. While streaming, but if I ride the warmup or so, it seems to stay.

Re: Pc specs - Opinion
SMR has a point that rarely gets discussed, your own copy of Windows 7 (since 8 is like a step back). Having a store bought, off the shelf PC with a partition of Windows along with all the bloatware (think HP) just won't do it. Once you format and get a fresh, clean OS installed, you'll notice quite a difference. Not to mention the ease of fixing any problems if they arise. Word.

Re: Pc specs - Opinion
While I like the 4690k, suggesting it to someone who doesn't know much about computers and an unknown MSI board that might not be Z chipset and stock cooler it doesn't seem worth it. I'd say the best thing to do is get the best you can, in this case the 4690k is the best but the 4690 is a great second option only a few ticks slower. Building a PC to act and be console like, cheap enough to not break me but powerful enough to do things for awhile to come, has been the trend I've seen lately. Yes, upgrading is an easier and cheaper thing to do but some people just don't want to do such things.

I agree, I simply wanted to make sure he understood that it will eliminate overclocking entirely. While he may be a computer noob now that may change in the lifespan of this computer, having the option is nice and it is a relatively small increase in price (in fact right now on amazon the difference is $11). I personally think it is worth it, for regular users it acts just the same but if they get interested in OCing then they have that option.

Oh for $11 then I totally agree just upgrading it. Last I checked the difference was much larger.

i Appreciate all the coments , i just want to be sure in getting this pc , to run smooth mxs full gate on sx and mx , high det etc... i know sometimes its kind of tricky mxs in setup stuff.
i think i would go for the 4690 and about the 960 i think too expensive , im gettin new all parts .

Re: Pc specs - Opinion
Will this PC work, yes. With that last sentence though you just made it obvious its a prebuilt so us suggesting parts wouldn't have been helpful anyways. A 760 that is still new is actually the same price as a 960 ($200) but those who built the system are charging more for the new item. Not that its a bad thing.

There is your partlist, including the monitor. Not everyone who does prebuilds pushes the price sky high but some do so just want you to know actual price and you can make your decision from there.
