Is this BF4 ready?

cianc1324 · Nov 11, 2013

I manage to find this computer for a great price. From what I can see it looks like a fine PC for its price.But I'm really dumb with PC specs and stuff. Will I be able to play bf4 on high settings with a decent frame rate? Here is the link here.....

Also can you please tell me if I will be able to unbox it and immediately use it, I don't want to buy something that doesn't come already assembled etc.

It isn't a bad one but the GPU is somewhat weak. That PSU probably can handle a better GPU. Can you afford to get a better GPU? A 7870 Ghz would be better or perhaps a HD 7850 (2gb) at least?

Change the GPU and you're ready to go.

Your gpu can run Bf4 at medium-low (mostly med) settings, but get a better gpu if possible because your cpu and other components won't be having trouble playing it on Ultra. And when buying pc comonents you have to make sure that they are equivalennt with each other. Not a good choice the choose a better performing gpu/cpu with quite less performing gpu/cpu unless you can upgrade then soon.

The ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX does not support High TDP (Thermal Design Power) AM3+ CPU's like the AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W. The mother board supports only the 95 watt TDP FX CPU's.

Thanks for this, Does this come pre-assembled or must I set it up myself? :/

St0rm_KILL3r :

cianc1324 · Nov 11, 2013

Just found this one...

What is this one like?

technoholic · Nov 11, 2013

Hmm i realised something. The motherboard in my build also needs to be rev. 4.1 to support a FX 6300. There are 3 versions of this mobo. I don't know which rev is in my build. So i need to change the build. Hold on

ok changed

LiamJames · Nov 11, 2013

cianc1324 :

Good, but you can probably get it cheaper, not 100% on the CPU though.

cianc1324 · Nov 11, 2013

technoholic :

Thanks but will this come pre-assembled or will I get just a crap load of parts that I need to set up myself? Sorry if I sound derpy but I'm new to PC gaming.

cianc1324 · Nov 11, 2013

LiamJames :

May I ask what you mean by "not 100% on the CPU" ? As I said above ^ I'm a bit derpy with stuff.

technoholic · Nov 11, 2013

cianc1324 :

They come separately, you need to assemble the pieces by yourself

cianc1324 · Nov 11, 2013

technoholic :

Yeah that's a problem :/

St0rm_KILL3r · Nov 12, 2013

cianc1324 :

If you don't know how to assemble them and actually make them run, then you can call a techie friend or a person who can do that to your house and take their help. I also reccomend you to watch videos on youtube on building a pc. That will surely help. I watched few videos on youtube and assembled my pc by myself without anyone's help. Nothing is difficult if you are really interseted in it, you know.
