Good Gaming PC? what FPS?

Derr1 · Nov 19, 2013

My rig:
Processor: AMD FX6300,
Ram: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz,
GPU: Palit GTX460 SE.

Would you say this is a decent gaming pc? What kind of performance would this setup get for new games like Battlefield 3/4. I'm also planning on getting a new Graphics card for about £160, what would you recommend?
Thanks

GPU is pretty poor, the rest is fine (though I will need more information to recommend a new GPU)
what PSU and Mother Board?

at 160 pounds I would recommend:
PCPartPicker part list
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card (£152.99 @ Dabs)
Total: £152.99

The R9 270x, it is a decently powerful card, it's basically a Radeon HD 7870 reboot with slight upgrades

from this chart you can see that it can get 60 fps average on Battlefield 4 at High settings 1080p

Your CPU is weaker than the one used in the benchmark though so expect 50-60 average.

lmaonade200 :

Mobo is an MSI 970A-G46
PSU is a Corsair CX500M.

yeah it'll fit this card no problem then, one of the best you can do for your price point.

Thanks very much. much appreciated!
Another concern is that the mobo is only PCI-E 2 and the card seems to be PCI-E 3. Would that cause issues with performance or anything?

lmaonade200 · Nov 19, 2013

nope, PCIe 3.0 cards can be slotted in PCIe 2.0 slots, and most cards today cannot fully utilize the PCIe 2.0s transfer capabilities anyway so there will be no performance hits whatsoever

Thanks! Very much appreciated. you may have just sold me on the R9 290X!
