Is My Computer Powerful Enough?

Hi Guys,

I wasn't 100% sure whether this was the right place to put this topic, however, I'll ask anyway.

So, below are the current specifications of my build. I want to run FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward when it comes out later this month and I am not very clued up on what components are good or not. I am unable to run the benchmark at the moment as my PC isn't with me for a few days.

Can anyone help?

What is your budget if you don't mind me asking?

PSU is a bit weak (but saying that the GTX960 isnt power hungry).

Is that the system you have now? or planning to buy etc?

There is a thread in the graphic card forum with peoples results of this game and their system specs - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18668508&highlight=Heavensword

I already have this computer built - I am using it now - I am just waiting for the GTX 960 to arrive by post for me to install it into my build. Everything is here already.

Thank you for the link. I am not very savvy when it comes to knowing what components are similar or better than others, so unfortunately for me, I have to base my decisions on others' expertise haha. This system is what I am currently using at the moment. I built it less than a year ago on a somewhat strict budget and only originally intended to use it as a work computer - however, I decided that I wanted to play a few modern games on it and the GFX card was the first thing I thought I'd upgrade.
