Depends on the resolution. At 1080p, there should be absolutely no problems what so ever. 1440p should also be fine. If you're wanting to play at 4k, then a single 290x won't do it.

[b][i][color=firebrick][size=120]I was thinking desktops, my bad. To OP: It depends on the GPU. If you're using integrated graphics, definitely the 5th Gen i5.

[b][i][color=firebrick][size=120]There's 5th Gen i5's already? wat. Not yet, buddy.

[b][i][color=firebrick][size=120] ^^^^ Probably some sort of virus. If nothing is picked up, a re-install may be necessary. I've never seen a problem like this before, quite a strange one.

Multiplayer is much more CPU intensive. So the drops in multiplayer are the CPUs problem. Overclocking should do the trick. That build may be able to run CS:GO relatively well, the game doesn't have high expectations (figuring you like first-person-shooters) although CS:GO is a competitive game...

Not gonna lie, you'll be lucky to run Battlefield 4 well on that. Overclocking will obviously improve frames, but only if you have an adequate cooler. Otherwise, you won't be able to push the chip too far.

I was about to suggest the Siberian V2, but was beaten to it :(

Agreed.

Galaxy/Galax make some really good products. The GTX 980 Hall of Fame is beautiful. Jus' sayin'.

If you could shell out the extra cash I'd go for a GTX 970. If not, the R9 290 or R9 280x are your best bet.
