If you're playing CS, the 960 would be fine but if you wanna play more demanding games at max settings.. I'd get something like the 970.

Personally I think 16GB is an overkill but idk I play very few games other than CS..

that's what i was thinking on the overkill.... so i was scared to put it in. my homework said the build the ultimate gaming pc for what you use it for.... thus my weariness about the word ULTIMATE reflects... The thing is I stream twitch. and yes we really do not need much on css since it really is an outdated game. but i am just going with the industry bare minimum high end. So i am at a lost of chosing to hear my teacher said "ultimate" versus "what you use it for"
