IRONBATMAN · Nov 23, 2013

what is your budget and where do you live ?

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

Sweden. My budget is about 5500-6000 Crowns. Thats about 800 and a bit more dollars.

IRONBATMAN · Nov 23, 2013

I'll get back to you later , finding parts in Sweden is not as easy as in the US.

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

IRONBATMAN :

Oh snap, you will find me parts? Thats freaking awesome dude. thanks. Online shops that I used was www.komplett.se and webhallen.se

for second the CPU wont be any worth as you getting a separate gpu which wont Crossfire with APU with it afaik.
so instead of APU get a regular CPU only like FX 8320 / 6350 / 6300 or Intels if you have some budget

for 800$ you can get better than above , you chose

I would like to get this rig, but the problem is Swedens high tax. The parts are more expensive here. Like for this PC I would pay more then 1000 $.

IRONBATMAN :

Its not really overbudget, cause I already got W7 disc. Forgot to mention it. I guess the only major thing that you changed was the GPU. Will it be powerfull enough to max-high new games?

Cooler : Cooler Master CPU Cooler Hyper 212 Evo
- 269 ( cooler if you consider overclocking , and this cooler is the best for the purpose )
Total: 6846

a bit over budget but it seem to be worth of it

for CPU you can go for a little lower like FX 6300 which will be close in performance for games.

also the GTX 760 will be more of worth as it comes with game bundle!, i chose 7970 for 3GB of VRAM for games like BF4 it would benifit , and also i heard AMD giving BF4 with its gpus ? may be R9 270x comes with BF4 , so you might wanna consider a bit search.

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

Niko_boy :

Its over my budget. Im still a teenager , going to school. Dont have much money. I saved up some and If I would like to get the more expensive machine it would probably cost me another half a year. Plus my current PC is really really counting his last days.

Niko_boy · Nov 23, 2013

Aidas123 :

as i said in edited reply above , you can change CPU to fx 6300
so you come down to 6596
and for PSU coming down to Corshair CX 500W, you come down by 100 Sek and GPU to GTX 760 which comes with free new games so it will be like a Discount to your cost
and Total becomes 6400 something + considerable game bundle for free.

IRONBATMAN · Nov 23, 2013

You can swap the GTX 760 for the HD 7970. I thought the HD 7970 would be more expensive.
Comparisons

The HD 7970 also comes with free games

IRONBATMAN · Nov 23, 2013

The R9 270x doesn't come with BF4 . Where did you hear it from ?

________

You can use the optical drive from your old case.

Niko_boy · Nov 23, 2013

it is a digital download as here:
http://xfxforce.com/en-us/features/battlefield-4-r9-launch.aspx
p.s: i didnt really knew much about it though
R9 270x would come in your budget but it would perform a bit lower than 760 and 7970 as it is a new 7800s like GPU..

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

Did you find 7970 in komplett.se? Cause I cant find it there.

Niko_boy · Nov 23, 2013

Aidas123 :

i used this website webhallen.se for parts..

EDIT: at komplett.se , this 7970 seem expensive

http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=759906
wth is this xD

IRONBATMAN · Nov 23, 2013

Most of the R9 / R7 series GPUs are rebranded HD 7xxx series GPUs. But the HD 7xxx series GPUs comes with free games.

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

Ok. so If I would go for IronaBatmans build , I would just change tha graphics card to 7970, would it be a reasonable PC?

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

Niko_boy :

I just moved here and this is a damn weird country

Niko_boy · Nov 23, 2013

IRONBATMAN :

that one i know about , it is all same since a while

i saw it here
http://sites.amd.com/us/promo/battlefield/Pages/battlefield4.aspx#HIW
for BF4 with R9 series!

Aidas123 :

yes it would do better than GTX 760 by some percent like 10-15% and 1GB of extra VRAM would surly benifit in few games

comparison http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page4.html
7970 stand a beast in top 10 GPUs!

Niko_boy · Nov 23, 2013

one question at What resolution you planning to play and Ultra/High or medium presets ?

Aidas123 · Nov 23, 2013

Niko_boy :

1440x900

Niko_boy · Nov 23, 2013

Aidas123 :

you can see here:
http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page2.html
and here
http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page3.html
at 1680x1050/1920x1200, highest presets on BF4 7970 3GB is able to hit about 40-50 Average FPS. So at your resolution and even higher it will definitely be great and even for future games as well.
so that rig would be worth more performing if you going with 7970 than 760 !
1440x960 - Ultra/High presets in most of current and upcoming games at very good playable FPS.

Also ensure about price as per above confusions .-. b/w 2 sites
