neither, 1 will have a CPU bottleneck, 2 will have a GPU bottleneck, what's ur budget?

Bryce1197 · Aug 19, 2013

jinayhvora :

I will be upgrading the graphics card in the second one to something like a GTX 660ti or 670 after I get the money.
Budget is $1000 and I'm in Australia.

u don't need OC or SLi, right? assembling a build for u

Bryce1197 · Aug 19, 2013

jinayhvora :

No.

this is the best value for money build i could get u, with an OS it will probably go a little over a 1000 but i think its worth it

Is this everything I need to build a system?

jinayhvora · Aug 19, 2013

yes, and a screwdriver and antistatic equipment

Bryce1197 · Aug 19, 2013

jinayhvora :

Thank you for help.
All up this build would be $1135 a bit out of my budget but one I wait for some deals, ill be right.
Thanks again.

jinayhvora :

How will the GPU be bottlenecked?

jinayhvora · Aug 20, 2013

I meant to say in Build 1 the CPU is too weak and the GPU too powerful so it might cause a bottleneck, and the situation is exactly reverse in Build 2

FinalHunter · Aug 20, 2013

Well I'm running an i7-950 with 12gb ram, xfie two 7970's I can't max out dayz either :/

1920x1200

Bryce1197 · Aug 20, 2013

jinayhvora :

Would having a strong CPU and a weaker GPU make the GPU run at its highest?

FinalHunter · Aug 20, 2013

Only plausible solution bryce.... 4770k with quad titan setup. if you're gonna bottleneck a cpu might as well bottleneck the best one on the market

PS Screw budgets

jinayhvora · Aug 20, 2013

Bryce1197 :

yes, a strong enough CPU will drive the GPU to its fullest, but if its fullest is still weak u have a GPU bottleneck

So something like a GTX 670 or 7770 or 90?

jinayhvora · Aug 20, 2013

gtx 760 will be best as I already put in my build

Which system would run dayZ better?
