I've been playing on consoles as long as I can remember. I've decided to not buy a "next gen" console and instead build my own computer.
What I'd like to build is a PC that can run Battlefield 4 with 60+ FPS and ultra settings.
From what I've seen so far, this lovely community knows everything about these sorts of things, so I'm hopping I'll get a few recommendations from you.
First of all, are there any good sources besides this site to rely on, like a book? I'm thinking about getting "Build Your Own PC Do-It-Yourself For Dummies", I've read some decent reviews, is the book good or should I bet on something else?
Then, there is the specs.
CPU
I'm considering i5-4670K. From what I've heard, the i5's are enough for gaming, but I will most likely use Skype and perhaps even record while playing, will it still be sufficient?
GPU
Nvidia GTX 780 is something I'm interested in. Are there other options?
Of course, I'm only mentioning the CPU and GPU, what other things should I think about?
Unfortunately, I'm not a billionaire, so I don't have an unlimited budget.
Thank you for reading all this!
