I finally finished my newly built PC just in time for all the good/pretty games coming out this year (Doom, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Overwatch, Monster Hunter Online, and possibly Outlast 2). I'd get Dark Souls 3 but I havent gotten further than 2 hours in DS2 and I still need a controller... =[

I tested it with SOMA, everything max, 1920x1080 and got a consistent 60fps for the first two chapters or so that I tested. To put it in perspective, on my current 5 year old laptop, I had everything at the lowest (some mid) and barely got 30, maybe 25fps. Is this what the game is supposed to look like? Kreygasm

Simple specs for anyone curious:
- Intel Core i7-4790k 4.0gHz
- EVGA GeForce GTX970 4gb
- 8GB RAM (will probably upgrade to 16 in the future)
among other fancy shmancy things like an h60 liquid cpu cooler. Started building this in September, had a broken motherboard, came back monday and finished my PC today. What an adventure....

A bad time to choose an nvidia GPU. New 3D memory supporting Pascal architechture is coming out soon, meaning we're getting something with the price of a GTX970, but ~50-100% faster, more ram and better DX12 support, which was very lacking next to what AMD had built in their chips.
And btw, that 4gb is 3.5gb in reality - not like it's gonna make a huge difference, as 3gb is enough for 1080p gaming, if that's what you're aiming, but 4k on newest games is out of the question(I think), unless you enjoy stuttering in your games. Some games take up to 5gb on 4k, which is crazy.
