would this pre build system suffice

[chili]

As per a previous post in general my son is after a new pc mainly for gaming but also capable of video editing/rendering his uni work.
would this OC pre build system be able to fill his needs? would it be able to play games say like crysis 3 of bf4?

feel free to suggest advice on graphic cards maybe he will choose a different one based on feedback

thanks

I would build a FX 6300 rig with a GTX 970 in. It would be far better for gaming than any of those IMO. Should cost about the same too.

£59.99.

Less than the cost of the I5 alone. Obviously not as good, but saves you £100.

That cooler won't fit in the case

so other than the cooler that threepwood has linked that would be a decent system?

 

[Threepwood]

Whoops, linked the 140cm version , well spotted.

Am also wondering if the platinum, fanless 500w PSU would be a better option too.

It's quite expensive for what it is tbh, you can get like an 850W Leadex for that kind of money. Imo the Golden Greens are barely audible and are great reliability-wise anyway, but it could be a good idea should the OP require something like that

 

[Threepwood]

I know, seems a shame when there is low power nvdia shizz going around to not start including such things, that's all
