Can I play Assassin's Creed Unity at max??

Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 Gaming Benchmark Results

Assassin's Creed Unity

Now let's try Assassin's Creed Unity. This game has incredibly high minimum system requirements, but let's see if the new GeForce GTX 960 can hack it:

Even at the lowest detail setting and 1080p, Asus' GTX 960 barely maintains an average frame rate above 30 FPS. And it falls as low as 26 under load. The Radeon R9 285 fares slightly better, but its minimum frame rate is still below 30.

This game's engine doesn't appear to be well-optimized for 4K, and once we specify a 3840x2160 resolution, these graphics cards only manage a slideshow. Even the GeForce GTX 970 and Radeon R9 290X are unable to achieve a 30 FPS minimum frame rate.

+1. Assassin's Creed Unity is unplayable at everything maxed out. however, if you play it on high settings, you would get between 45-50 fps at 1080p

Thanks a lot guys
Well, I think I need to save another couple of months to make a future proof rig,
Any idea of
1. How much minimum I need to spend in order to get future proof gaming for atleast 3-4 years
2. Is it preferable to buy an i3 config with GTX 970 as GPU?
3. Zotac unveils Steam Machine with Intel ?Skylake?, GeForce GTX 970M graphics | KitGuru

1. 75-80k should do given it includes a 850 Evo 128 GB ssd, gtx 970, i5 4590, 8 GB ram.

2. LOL NOPE.
It'll bottleneck 970 considering future games will require a good CPU too like Far Cry 4, Hitman Absolution, Watch Dogs, Crysis 3, Battlefield 4.

3. Forget about steam machines for now. They ain't coming to India.

There is no such thing as future proof when it comes to technology.
1. You could play all near upcoming and current game titles at max settings in a 70k build (barring Crysis 3 and Shadow of Mordor).
2. No! Would you use a Ferrari's engine in a Swift?
3. Steam Machines will probably not be available in India anytime soon.

In all fairness, to build a decent rig, you should be looking at somewhere around 50k. Also, if you're open to buying used components from the forums, it will help a great deal to get that 70k rig near the 50k budget.

GPU: Chose whichever GTX 960 OC has more warranty. You'll get Witcher 3 for free with it.
