Gaming Setup Essentials?

James

I have two monitors, one for pc and one for PS4. For the PC I have a quad core, 16gb ram, and a 3gb DDR5 AMD 7950. Peripherals: Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2013, Razer DeathAdder 2013, Steel Series Mouse Pad, Astro A40'S. I have AC4, BF4, CoD Ghosts and KillZone for the PS4. I was wondering if there was anything else I need/could have.
What is a good size SSD. Always was looking in to getting those, I have one with 128gb but I'm not sure if thats big enough.

Answer
I don't know what you were trying say "quad core" not much to know about your processor but it is probably good enough it seems like a good setup but if you are rolling in cash always concider upgrading graphics i just got a GTX 780 and i can play BF4 on 120fps on ULTRA maybe get SLI going double your graphics output if you're badass enough...
yeah.. i'll leave now sorry....

How's this gaming/editing PC setup?

Hello, I made a similar question to this but since then I updated the components and parts to the rig and want a little more information. Here is the setup I will be building during the summer or september-november.
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-cores - $199.99
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 - $105.91
Thermal Compound: Arctic Cooling MX-2 65g - $39.99
Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ - $179.00
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 - $92.99
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM - $92.11
SSD: OCZ Agility 4 256GB 2.5" SSD - $191.99
Video card: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB - $369.99

PSU: Corsair AX750 - $149.99

Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Wired Optical Mouse - $59.99
Monitor: BenQ XL2420T 120Hz 24.0" Monitor 5MS - $389.99
How cheap will these components and parts get by the mid-end of the year?
Will these components and parts be playing the latest games at max settings at 1920x1080?
How long will these components last until I need to upgrade or build an entirely new PC?
How well would this run for video editing?
Would I need to replace the thermal paste on the H100 a few times through the years or through the months?
How hot will my PC get?
Is this a good PC rig for competitive PC gaming? (Competitive Counter-Strike, BF3, COD, Dota 2, etc.)
Thanks!

Answer
you have a good, expensive build. some items could be found in similar, much less expensive versions, though if money is no matter, then get what you have listed.

items to consider less expensive versions:
CPU cooler - if you are not overclocking, a stock cooler is fine; even if you do overclock, a good heatsink/fan combo is ~$30, so no need for $100+ setups
Thermal Compound - 65g = 2+ POUNDS! how many computers are you setting up?!?!?
Motherboard - get a similar spec'd model for ~$100
HDD - no point in getting a faster "Black" spec as you already have an SSD for your main/boot drive
Monitor - a similar, slightly smaller 23" would cost about half

regarding your specific questions at the end:
- you will be able to run any game at high settings and this will not change for a while as you are buying top tier items.
- no, you will never have to replace the thermal paste on your heatsink UNLESS you take it off and remount it.
