Goals of my build
To play the latest titles at 768p with good frame rates for approx 3 years.
To be able to play at 1080p if I ever upgrade to a 1080p monitor.
To be affordable, I have a strict budget of $450. I don't want to go a dollar over that, I'm already pushing it, a lot(unless it means vastly improved performance).
Now on with the build.
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 ($120)
GPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121728($150)
MOBO:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131935($55)
RAM:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148539($33)
PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182076($50)
Case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146075($40)
Total:$448
No HDD, because I am reusing 2x HDD from my current PC(200 GB, and 100 GB).
My concerns,questions and requests.
Is the ASUS GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB overkill for 768p gaming? I think I might be overspending on power I don't need.
Will that PSU have enough wattage to handle a new mid range GPU in three years?
Now, I would like some input and improvements on this build. Perhaps a better GPU for the same price, or If the GPU is overkill where I should be directing my money etc.
Now my storage, will it be enough? Its only 300GB. I don't store alot of movies and photos. I don't plan on storing a library of games. Only a handful of my favorite titles. I am mainly making this build for Battlefield 4, I hear that game uses Mantle. So maybe an AMD card would be better, I don't know.
All ideas and suggestions are welcome. If someone wants to make an entirely new build(maybe an intel one) that would be great as well!
Cheers, Ariel.
