That should be way ok for ffxiv dazzles, i would also get a game pad as the keyboard/ mouse combo has not been great for me so far

Ok cool.

I have the 360 controller and KB & mouse already. I was just a bit worried that the spec might have been a bit naff.

I don't want to spend £1k on something that wont work!!!

Thanks for your reply

Hey Dazzels,

I'm not into the FF series to be honest with you but from a techy point of view, the system you have put together looks like a great all round gaming system. I personally cannot see it struggle with any game available to buy today or for a few years to come.

People who are more into FF will be able to comment in more details but I honestly can't see there being any issues.
