Currently I have a GTX 970 and an i5 intel chip (most recent model from 2015). 16gb of RAM and directx 11 turned on.

But I am having trouble running the game at Maximum settings. I don't know if my build can't handle it or if something else is a problem. If I turn the settings up my computer will overheat and freeze after a few minutes. I'd like ot know from anyone if these parts are enough to run at max settings and I just need to get better cooling. Or if my build isn't enough for max settings and I need to stay on potato quality.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated, I really want to enjoy this game at it's best.
