Most likely. You will probably want to upgrade to a piledriver.

Atleast an FX6300 I would say.

Okay, can you also anwser another question? Wich graphics card would be really good at only 768 Resolution? ;)

Like 1024x768 or 1366x768?

I would recommend the piledriver architecture as well. Use at least a 6 core (stated above) but I'd recommend the at least a FX-6350 but would obviously recommend the FX-8350.

The FX-4100 will definitely bottleneck your system and the FX 4 cores are incredibly slow and more on-par with a Intel Core i3.

All of the higher end ones will work up to or even beyond 1920x1080. If you're going to buy a 7970.. I'd save the money and get a 7950 and then purchase an AMD FX-8350 with the extra savings.

The Radeon 7850 should do well at that resolution. Even a Radeon 7770 would be good enough for the majority of games.

A Radeon 7770Ghz Edition Will Be Fine.

Okay, but wich graphics card will do nice at 1366 x 768 res.? I wanna play BF3 and Minecraft and some other games aswell but I don't need that High or Low thingy If its good playable at 30 + fps I'm happy! But don't go lower then an 7770 or something because I want some future proof at that res. ;)

I'd recommend AT LEAST a 7790 or a 7850 (obviously I recommend the later). Get the 7850 (2GB version), you'll be more "future proof" with newer games. You'll regret it with a 7770 and below.

If you're serious about gaming then I wouldn't skip out on a good GPU and CPU. It will be more of an investment and will lengthen the time needing to upgrade.

Okay, but howmany fps would I probally get from an 7850 or 7870 or GTX 660 ti in like BF3?, I can't choose between them! And I also have seen a GTX 590 it seems a very low GPU but it beats most of the games wich I think is very weird... I know its a dual GPU and all. But if I buy an 590 would it be cheaper or expensiver. ( Btw. Sorry for the bad English, Im not from England nor America)

600-700 EUROS. Not dollars or pounds.

The 660ti is faster than the 7850 and 7870.. but if you're looking at that card, I'd recommend getting the 7950 as it's cheaper and has equal performance.

I would NOT recommend any dual cards (i.e. crossfire, SLI, etc..) as those will be dependent on your motherboard and the PCI-e speed.. plus those will actually give you 1.5x performance for 2x the cost. Stick with a single high end graphics card.

Here is what I recommend:
Video Card: Get a 7870 or 7950
CPU: AMD FX-6350 or AMD FX-8350


If you want top / high-end performance: AMD 7950 & AMD FX-8350
If you want to save money: AMD 7870 & AMD FX-6350
If you want to better gaming with saving money: AMD 7950 & AMD FX-6350
If you want better overall tasks and saving money: AMD 7870 & AMD FX-8350

And an 7870 or 7950 and an AMD fx 4170 4.2 ghz? I don't wanna go higher in the CPU cause it really is pricy and I won't be building the pc, I might wanna do it but yeah... I probally would fuck up every part in the build and lose warranty or something. But still I always consider it building a pc.

A 7950 will be $300-$350 and a 7850 (2GB) will be $180. I think a 7870 is about $240. If you're looking for a modest system I recommend not getting an FX 4100. Get a 7850 (2gb) and get at least a FX-6350 or FX-8350.

Its hard to make a recommendation without knowing your budget but if you get an FX-6350 and an AMD 7850 (2GB), you will be happy. Hope that helps :)

My budget is 600-700 EUROS for PC only. But will the AMD fx 6200 will do well? Its a SIX core.
