Hi my gaming pc is one I got off of the Austin Evans YouTube channel. It is the new 600 dollar one basically. There are a few things different but my pc can't play games like battlefield 4 above low settings. I get 60 to 100 frames mostly but it won't let me change. Other games like metro last light it has problems with. I don't know what's wrong. Please help.
It's a amd 750k cpu at 3.4 get
Radeon r9 270x
4gb ram
500 watt power supply
320 gb Scorpio blue laptop hard drive
windows 8.1
It should be able to ultra bf4 but it can't I'd why. Thanks in advance

First off you need to learn that MINIMUM means you can get the game to run MINIMUMALLY (as you are finding out) when looking up settings. RECOMMENDED is the REAL requirements to get the 'standard gameplay experiances / performance' most people expect, which of course are MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE requirements. Your CPU rates less then HALF then i7Core (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Athlon+X4+750K+Quad+Core) which is accurate as ALL AMD CPUS perform AT the ENTRY/LOWLEVEL i3Core performance systems, with the most expensive AMD only reaching i5Core at best. Add to that your running 4GB ram (need at least 6 best if 8-12) with probably tons of applications running in the background all sucking memory and performance.

These are my...

These are my specs (Next time use Speccy it helps provide it nicely):
OS W7 Pro 64-bit SP1
CPU Intel Core i7 740QM @ 1.73GHz 67 °C
Clarksfield 45nm Technology (Gen 1)
RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz (8-8-8-23)
Motherboard Alienware
Graphics 1535MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M (Dell) 62 °C
Display Acer GD235HZ (1920x1080@100Hz)
Hard Drives
233GB Samsung SSD 840 Series (SSD) 49 °C
932GB Seagate ST1000LM014-1EJ164 (SATA) 43 °C

I ran the Bf4 Beta, and I was still using all 8 cores at about 50%+ , about 8-12GB of my RAM (with my AV going, streaming music, and a few tech tools running in the background) and I was still cranking out at High about 50FPS or less.

BF3 is NOT the same thing as BF4. BF4, coded alot different (hence why it wasn't released as BF3.1 add on patch) and uses the CPU to so all the physics calculations (how a building falls down whyone door takes one shot while theother wall takes 3 , etc.) plus all the AI calculations. OC FYI shortens the lifespan of your component, because your burning it up more then normal, and would only make a small measurable change (say instead of 30Fps now you get 34FPS) before instability (why is my computer crashing all the time) occurs because your literally 'burningup the part'.
