Swap out the R9 290 for a GTX 970, due to some driver issues AMD cards are unfortunately (because i ordered an AMD card :c) not running Fallout as well as Nvidia GPUs

Also i would STRONGLY recommend a SSD for fallout to reduce loading screen times; i'll just drop this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqoKUFGjFR0&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=Unreal

You also wont need that thermal paste (the standard is fine), You'll probably want an aftermarket cooler on though just incase. The standard heat sinks aren't amazing.

Also if you're a student remember you might be able to get freee Windows OS from dreamspark to save some cash

What about for BO3, BeamNG.drive, Mad Max and GTA V? Just wondering as I'd like to play these games, along with the Online, not the story (for those which have it). Also, does PC Specialist take part in Black Friday?

If I have any other "requests" I will just post them here.

Thanks,
Callum!

Custom Desktop Specs. 3 Questions!

I have 3 questions;
1. Will the computer I've built (below) run Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, Mad Max, BeamNG.drive and GTA V at 60+ FPS on High or Ultra Graphics? (ANSWERED!)
2. Can someone give me a second opinion or improve it for my budget of £800 but the cheaper the better.
3. Does PC Specialist take part in Black Friday? (If so what are the offers normally like? (ANSWERED!)

So would you say for me to use the Super Quiet Titan DragonFly Heatpipe Intel CPU Cooler? Or for me to use a more expensive one?

Would also like to say that I'm not to bothered about the SSD. Should I still keep it or remove it and upgrade the HDD?

Hybrids are something of nothing drives, I doubt the HDD part will perform as well as a normal fast HDD and you have no control on what goes on the SSD cache. I agree with SlimCini or get a decent HDD now and add an SSD later on.
