    You should ask in the building forum instead:

    Is the pc you recommended capable of running the likes of minecraft or arma at high fps?

    It'd run Arma at Medium-High at 60fps. I would recommend trying to pick up a second hand R9 270X for €120-130 either.

    Minecraft depends on how many mods you plan on using

    Just noting, no type of build will give you very high FPS in high object rendering areas (e.g like a city) in Arma 3. I have a I7-4790k & GTX 980TI and I still get about 30-40 (at best) FPS in city areas in Arma 3. You'll definitely hit good FPS once outside city areas though. If you're struggling with frame drops then you'll need to go into the Arma 3 config files and reduce the viewdistance and object render related view distances and tweak additional settings as required. Unfortunately CPU is more vital in Arma games at the moment than a GPU, all a GPU does for the game is render graphics textures but the CPU handles all the calcs/simulation and the object rendering. It's unfortunately a engine limitation for the game.
