Here is a build I'm planning to get soon, my budget is around $700 - $720.
I'm gonna use it to play vidya like Ark: Survival Evolved and Kerbal Space Program
Will this be able to smoothly run stuff like Ark: Survival Evolved and Battlefield Hardline at max settings?

You won't be running Ark at max settings. That game runs like shit.
Absolutely retarded, overspending on your case among other issues
I'll post a PCPP link with suggested changes in a second
>>51230488
how about medium or low settings? Will it be able to scratch 50 fps atleast?
>>51230417
>falling for the seagate meme
Alright OP, here are my two cents.
You'd want to get a slightly beefier PSU of 650W+ 80plus certified and you might want to consider a soundcard such as the ASUS Xonar DGX. It'll give you the option of OC'ing your GPU in the future.
A decent, cheap CPU cooler should also be taken into thought.
Get either a WD Caviar Black or a Hitachi HDD, Seagate reliability is shit.
>>51230528
It's not the problem with your PC build, it's the shit optimization that Ark has.
Also, the soundcard is there for better audio quality, since mobo sound tends to be distorted.
>>51230528
You'll be running it on lowish settings. It's horribly optimized.
Kek you can just add ca. to the front of the url and watch canadians get fucked over.
>>51230417
I run Ark on medium-ish settings with a 4690k and a 290 and I still can't maintain 30+ FPS constantly.
>>51230749
But I am using 1440P, should have mentioned that.
At 1440p, my 6700k @ 4.8 and 980ti with a 300MHz OC can't manage max settings at 40 fps, let alone 60. Ark sucks.
>>51230507
Is your PCPP list done?

This is the best you're going to get without making extreme compromises.
I'm sorry canadian prices are so high
>>51230832
Yes, I'm the post below yours, here. >>51230834

and get a cheaper case. go to your local store and find one on sale. you can spend a bit more money on upgrades then.
>>51230749
hopefully dx12 improves this
also the 280x is almost here OP
>>51230507
>$75

confirmed retarded

It is forcing him to buy dumb stuff tbqh
>$230 270x
evga b-stock 970 for $240, goyim
>>51230417
>No.
DONT BUY AMD FOR KSP
IT RUNS LIKE SHIT
I speak from experience, KSP just doesn't work well with AMD at all. You want Intel. It's a CPU intensive program and you want the best performance from a single core.

>I speak from experience. Trust me.

swap gpu for a b-stock 970 if you can find it and spend the extra $$$ on more storage, either a larger hdd or an ssd to compliment it, otherwise this is a far better deal than what you have picked out already.
>>51232365
> fx6300 oc to 4.0gh
> ksp maxed out at 60fps
> runs like shit
>>51232426
this is a legit choice.
>>51232479
Yeah, at what part count? AMD is inferior to Intel for performance at the same part count.
I bet you're some 20 part pleb.
