Checking FPS on parts I picked out?

[jayden8250]

Is there any way to check the performance of the parts I picked out? I don't have the PC built and I don't plan on buying the parts soon, I would just like to know if it would perform on the games that I want to play before I buy. I would like to play games like Battlefield 4, DayZ, and similar newer games. Thanks. Here are the parts:

Hello, that's a good gaming build. High-Ultra on FHD. You don't need an af cooler with a locked CPU, so you can save some bucks there and instead get a better locked CPU:

Everything else looks fine to me, but you should upgrade your PSU, that's not the best one (wattage wise to go with R9 280X, get atleast a 550W one).

Performance wise, your selection, 50+ FPS on Ultra, 65+ FPS on high on any latest title on FHD. Add a couple of FPS if you go with my suggestion, as that CPU is really powerful, and will help in the future where more raw CPU clock speed is required.

Thanks, I had the cooler if I planned on overclocking, which I most likely won't be doing. I think i'm going to stick with the current processor I have and put the extra money I will have from removing the cooler towards a new PSU. Thanks.

Fair enough. Btw, that CPU you chose (and the one I suggested) can't OC, you need a 'K' version CPU to OC, 4460 and 4690 are locked. And yes you should definately get a better PSU. Good overall gaming build I'd say.

Ah, then I really have no need for a cooler . Thanks.
