Gtx 590 build help! Buying in month!

IWANTFIVEPOINTFOURGHZPC · Aug 5, 2013

Yes, hello I need help I have a max $700 budget and I need a gtx 590 pc I want to get 2 configurations one with intel cpu and one with amd and tell me which is better I need it to max out battlefield 3 or on very high at 30+ fps Thanks.

Or any build under $700 that can max BF3/ very high

Even used, a GTX590 would be half your budget, nor is it a very good recommendation for a new build.

GTX770 outperforms it for $~400
You can max BF3 @ 1080p with a single GTX 580, GTX670, GTX760.

$700, prices won't be the same in a month, but this is a good starting point. If you want to go Intel instead, look into a Z77 board with a i5-3570k. If you want to stretch the budget I highly recommend a GTX760.

Isn't the AMD brand bad? I have one atm and it sucks.

Marcopolo123 · Aug 5, 2013

Not in this budget,
amd has the better p/p

IWANTFIVEPOINTFOURGHZPC · Aug 5, 2013

Should I get the 6100? FX

Well, if you are willing to spend about $850-900, we can certainly squeeze an Intel chip into there. They do perform better, but cost significantly more.

AMD chip with the stock cooler can be overclocked a little, really this build would also need an aftermarket cooler. Overclocking with Intel is about the same price as a non-overclocking setup, at the moment anyway.

I'm going for the AMD all the way. I just watched a video on it playing ULTRA and it was awesome. Thanks for the help Hoping to buy this pc in about 3-4 weeks.

Replace gtx 660 with gtx 760, just a bit more expensive but better.

Get xfx 550w , its plenty, dont need for more.
