Alright, Bethesda shows this as the min for fallout 4

• Operating system: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz or equivalent.
• Memory: 8 GB RAM.
• Hard disk space: 30 GB free HDD space.
• Video: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent.

And this is what is listed for Watchdogs 2

• Supported OS – (64-bit versions only) Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10.
• Processor. Intel Core i5 2400S @ 2.5 GHz | AMD FX 6120 @ 3.5 GHz.
• RAM. 6GB.
• Video Card. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (2GB) | AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) or better.
• Hard Disk Space. 50 GB.
• Peripherals. ...
• Multiplayer. ...
• Supported OS – (64-bit versions only)

So, If you stick with Intel then I would suggest this i5 6500 https://smile.amazon.com/Intel-Skylake-Desktop-Processor-BX80662I56500/ However, you are then looking at near $200. The main differences between the one you have in your build and an i5 are more cores and larger L3 cache size. More cores obviously lets you do more things simultaneously but also, more games now have multi-core support. L3 cache can cause a bottleneck at times especially on games that tend to be more cpu heavy, like Rift for example. I don't play any of the games you listed on pc.

I would urge you to at least wait until there is a definitive date for when the lower end ryzen chips will come out and read some reviews after the higher end chips are out for a bit. It may be well worth the wait and if it's not then it's more time for you to save up for a better intel cpu.

 

I assume they did this after getting hosed with all those unqual'd hits recently lol I would do the "grading" version and oh my is all I have to say

 

@SeDuCeR
Just an FYI, imma have to stop crushing on you... I think there's someone else on here I need to crush on.

You have been granted the following Qualification:

These are pretty good, about 20 minutes apiece once you get the hang of it. Worth grabbing the qual if you get the chance.

 

Oh! I just got the qual for this!

 

If they didn't make outstanding profits from that probably very calculated business decision they most likely wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Especially given that this was a settlement and not a full decision reached in a court, they made absolute bank off exploiting Turkers. They paid minimum wage in the settlement and still got to skip out on all the other burdens of actually having employees.

Not to say all of that isn't great for the individuals, but I'd label it as anything but "rekt" in the business/financial sense.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but saw like 8 people recommend someone pay $0.10/min on /r/mturk earlier today and its got me in that "whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" kinda mood lol.

 

About time!
