Tomb Raider - GTX 970 - Game Performance - Intel i3-4170 - ASUS M32AD
Tomb Raider - Intel i3-4170 CPU / GTX 970 Graphics How well does it run? What graphics detail settings should you use? Watch to find out! (details on the computer in description below)
---
In July 2016, this computer can be found for around $300 on eBay and Amazon. It can also be purchased for $375 brand new (in a slightly updated model). Both versions linked below:
For advanced gaming options, I recommend a GTX 750 TI or higher graphics card (and a RAM upgrade to 16GB). This will allow you to play games such as Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, The Witcher III, The Division, etc.

This is a comparison and overview of the ASUS Z97-A motherboard as compared to the new ASUS Z170-A motherboard and why you might consider it.
In short, if the price difference is more than $50 between the older Z97 platform and the newer Z170 platform, then it is worth a look.
ASUS Z97-A Motherboard
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1s0eqmy
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2bqhSn4
Intel i7-4790k CPU
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1Nmqzvo
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2aIUnUZ
Compare the price of those two options to these two:
ASUS Z170-A Motherboard
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1Ye9Nz0
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2boCZ59
Intel i7-6700k CPU
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1TtN2ml
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2azEFMp
As an option, here are the two Intel Core i5 CPU options:
Intel i5-4690k CPU
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1OhBQIf
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2aIUCQb
Intel i5-6600k CPU

For cooling, I recommend Liquid Cooling. Here is my YouTube video overview of three liquid cooling options:

For RAM, if you have to buy RAM, here are two 16GB options that are worth considering:
DDR3-2400 (for Z97-A)
Amazon.com - http://amzn.to/1YeapVt
Newegg.com - http://bit.ly/2bebbjw
DDR4-2666 (for Z170-A)
