Hey Forum!

I used to have a rig that i built myself and loved. Unfortunately, my finances were too tight and to get some cash i sold it. Now with the release of BF4 imminent i am hoping to get back on the horse. I am limited in funds for a build.

My question is, will this build be OK for gaming at 1920 X 1080 achieving (hopefully 60fps) and is there any way to reduce costs. (note i already have my HDD's from my old build 2 X Samsung SSD and 1 X 2tb Seagate)

1 X Intel Core i5 4440
1 X Gigabyte Sniper B5 Motherboard
1 X Gainward GeForce GTX 760 Phantom 2GB
1 X Corsair CX-600 Modular 80+ Bronze Power Supply
1 X G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3

Total Price = $992 (AUD)

Thank you in advance! Your comments are appreciated!

If you plan on playing BF4, then you should opt for the R9 280X or an HD 7970 because these cards support mantle.

*Mantle is a new API that replaces DirectX11 on games. Theoretically, it should perform much better than DX11 and makes the game less CPU intesive comparable to a console.

*BF4 is the first game to announce that it will support mantle.
