Is this spec good for gaming?

[johnsmith100]

Hi, Just wanted to know if this spec is good for extreme gaming.
Playing crysis 3 at 60 fps on ultra at 1080p would be nice
My budget is about £1500.
I don't require anything other than the PC so no mouse or keyboard or monitor.
Also, all I require the PC to do is game as I already have another one for rendering and work.
I would also want the sealed water cooler as I want my PC to be quiet.
Thanks.

Definitely, get The Geeza's spec.

I'd stay away from the v300 SSD, the performance is well down on the stated speeds after Kingston changed NAND suppliers for the v300. The 240GB Kingston hyper x or Samsung 830 evo is much much better than the v300 series.

Also when posting builds for people it is a good idea to include the link at the bottom of the page so the poster can directly load up your spec and order or makes changes without having to do it themselves. Its just at the bottom of the bit you copied.

Apart from those 2 points that don't really add anything much to this discussion, I'd definitely go for the build posted by TheGeezer with the hyper x SSD or the evo 840 in place of the v300
