[Rubaduckduck]

Hi guys,I would like to get some help to build a gaming PC.I am playing games such as Far Cry 4,Skyrim,Dragon Age:Inqustion,GTA V.

I would like to play these games on max settings,and at least high settings for any future games.My budget is around 1.5K,wouldn't mind adding 100-200 more for better parts

Any help is appreciated,Thanks guys!

Unless otherwise stated, buy at PC Themes, #04-15, and ask for discounts. DIY yourself. If you can't into DIY, get PC Themes to assemble for you for a fee.

Notes:

1) This rig is capable of playing Far Cry 4 ,Skyrim, Dragon Age:Inqustion and maybe GTA V at max settings in 1080p. Future games may be playable at least high, but this is not guaranteed, especially if a poorly optimised game like a NOT!Crysis was to come out in the future.

2) You may want to either buy additional case fans and/or rearrange the stock fans in the Deepcool Tesseract into a negative case pressure configuration to help dissipate heat from the casing faster to cope with the heat output from the R9 290X.
