Good Enough Gaming PC

What do you believe is a good enough gaming pc's spec should have?

Some may benefit from this.

My ideal "good enough gaming pc"
CPU- Intel Core i5 4670k
GPU- Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
Motherboard- Asus Maximus VI Gene mATX
Case- BitFenix Prodigy M mATX Cube Case
PSU Corsair CX500M 500 Watt power supply Modular
Ram- 8GB 1866 megahertz

Storage and OS -> Personal preference.

Running CF on this system, you would probably max out all settings and highest res and still maintain good frame rates ( In the 200 range, though this game is not graphic intensive so I'm sure the GPU don't have to work as hard and run hot.)

i7 2600k @ 5.0
Corsair H100
SLI 780ti classified hydro copper (should wait until it's release otherwise just stick with SLI Superclocked ones with blower cooler)
500gb SSD
32gb RAM
MAXIMUS IV Extreme Z
any large tower with good ventilation, doesnt change performance.

Those specs DOEEEEEEEEE!!~ That seems more like a "I got no budget PC".

Yes, as long as there is good airflow then the components would run cool thus have better performance.

If you didn't know the 280X and 7970 are both the same. The 280X is simply a rebranding of the 7970.

500W PSU
~$180 GPU like R9 270(X)

No I know. But some people like the game bundle more. Id go with 280x anyways though. 280x is a bit faster.

My i5 2500K and GTX 570SC maxes out CF. Really dont need anything more for CF unless you want to do encoding.

Except the 280X has slightly higher bandwidth.
