Hey, will this computer be able to run bf3, crysis 3,etc, max? and maybe later play bf4 too?

COOLERMASTER K-350 (WINDOW)
XFX PRO 550W CORE EDITION
INTEL CORE i5 4430 (3.0GHZ) SKT 1150
CORSAIR PC3-12800 1600MHZ 4GB VENGEANCE CL9 DDR3
WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLUE 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA III 3.5
ASROCK B85M-HDS
XFX RADEON HD7870 DOUBLE D 2GB GDDR5

Is this config good?

hi Nino 37

that should be able to play bf3 at max settings (assuming your playing at 1920x1080) but it will struggle with crysis 3, though you will be able to play that game at medium settings which i can tell you, still looks real pretty. i cant really say anything about battlefield 4 because they ussually dumb down the graphics in the beta but i think you could get high settings.

If your budget can allow it i would recommend getting a slightly more powerful powersupply (its always better to have a little more than you need, so that you can upgrade later on) and a faster cpu.

but if not then as far as i can tell its a pretty good configeration. ( im in no way an expert)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051 is $69.99USD after rebate.

Also, in my opinion the Double D cooler is the worst after market graphics card cooler. Maybe PowerColor is worse, but its close.

No, you cannot play things maxed out with that build, especially not at all Crysis 3 and BF4. They are quite demanding.

As for improvements to the build. Drop the CPU down to the FX 6300 and get the 7950 instead. That should be able to max out even the Crysis 3.

Also, what is your budget for this build? I might be able to improve that build. Remember, there is always a room for improvement.

i live in portugal so, im buying this on my country, and here is very expensive, my budget is 700€~940 dollars

The only thing I can say is to drop down the CPU to a FX 6300 and up the GPU to a 7950. This should give much better gaming performance than the i5 + 7870 because for gaming GPU matter more.

You just need a CPU that can push the GPU to it's maximum. And I. am pretty sure than the Fx 6300 can push the 7950 to it's maximum. So go for that instead.

Note : You would also need to change your motherboard. Get some 970 chipset board and if possible avoid the MSI's 970 chipset boards. They are not that good.
