What you think about this pc? Good to run bf4 in ultra settings + while streaming? and playing future games later on.

i wana keep it at around 1000$.

Looks good. For gaming, you don't really need more than 8GB RAM, I'd cut there and go with a beefier GPU.

I'd recommend going the Haswell route though, take this as a suggestion:

16GB is really unnecessary for gaming. I'd also recommend getting the i5-4670K over the 3570K.

So if i play bf4 on ultra 1080p and stream, 8gb of ram would be enough.

MJ Brazys · Oct 31, 2013

and should i add a ssd? is that necessary?

Blaise170 · Oct 31, 2013

MJ Brazys :

An SSD is currently down to preference since they are still fairly expensive. It will greatly improve boot times of Windows and your games, but if you will use a lot of storage you may just want to get an HDD.

MJ Brazys · Oct 31, 2013

Well for now im not guna buy an ssd, i might buy it later. But will this run bf4 ultra 1080p while streaming with 8gigs ram?

Blaise170 · Oct 31, 2013

MJ Brazys :

You might consider buying a better graphics card with the money saved from cutting the RAM down.

MJ Brazys · Oct 31, 2013

Thank you both, mainly pepitoTv. I actually like that pc build and will probably buy all those parts.

Blaise170 · Oct 31, 2013

MJ Brazys :

That's a really nice build and I agree with all of it, but I'd recommend this RAM instead. Just my personal preference though.
