Hello PC owners,

Is this a good PC for gaming on High-Ultra on Current and Next-Gen games with 60fps at 1080p??
Will games like AC4 Black Flag and BF4 at high look better and run better than PS4?

This is what I have Set up:

Case - FD Design Core 1000+rear case fan exhaust 92mm

PSU - Corsair Builder Series CXM 500W 80+ Bronze

Mobo - AsRock Z87M-EXTREME 4

CPU - i5 4670K at 3.4GHz w/ intel cooler

GPU - MSi GTX 760 HAWK Edition 2GB

RAM - Kingston HyperX Genesis (2x4GB) 8GB 1600Mhz

Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB

Optical Drive - standard samsung 24x DVD Writer

Operating System - Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

Hey there, just to get to the point nice and quickly:

Nope!

That graphics card will slow you down, for instance, I've got two of 'em and Assassin's Creed Black Flag will slow down to 45fps at max settings (tweaked a bit I can get a stable framerate, but even so), Crysis 3 won't stay a stable 60 at max, BF4 dips below 60 (although in MP it's more CPU bound).

Games are going to start to require more and more video memory as well. BF4 pushes around 1.8GB with everything on Ultra except AA and PostAA for me, and this is one of the early, cross generational games, so when the true "next-gen" games come out, you'll struggle I reckon.

If you want to ultra games, I'm afraid you'll want a high end card, which won't come cheap (unless you go...

You will be able to run most current games at 60fps at 1080p but not on full ultra specs. Your gonna have to sacrifice a few settings to get constant 60fps at 1080p especially on games like battlefield 4, Assassin's creed 4, Crysis 3, Metro Last Light.
For next gen games and the games to come, you can run them on 1080p at 60fps probably but not on full ultra. Most likely high to very high and a few ultra settings will do just fine.

Gone fore 80+ Semi Modular Corsair 500w because its better and a lot more clutter free than a normal psu. yeah 1TB Caviar Blue will do me just fine i heard its more quieter than Black and not that much slower.. and it don't effect game performance.

Is there really that much of a difference if I set everything to HIGH on BF4 and not Ultra? Would high at least look better than PS4/Xbox One??

Well, obviously there are gonna be some slight differences like better particle effects and lighting and such. But would there be a significant difference between high and ultra? Not so much. It is still gonna look pretty damn gorgeous. Besides, you can run BF4 with a combination of high and ultra settings with smooth gameplay.
Will it be better than PS4/XB1? Yes, but not in a very noticeable way.

Haha oh well! Thanks anyway ;)

Yeah, some games are badly optimised, some games had dodgy SLI profiles (for instance, AC:BF updated it's SLI profile since I last replied here so it actually runs a bit better). Some games are just extremely taxing! As it is, most games will run past 60fps. Hell, Source games run at around 250fps, and that's at max with 8xMSAA (the top tier of AA bumps it down to 120-150fps). It's a great setup, speeds around a 780Ti, but the lack of VRAM doesn't help.

Maybe I do need to upgrade to an i7, but the memory controller on my board is pretty screwed (due to lack of attention during the build...), so I'd need to get a new mobo + CPU, not a cheap task ;)

If you do not plan on overclocking, there is no reason to get an unlocked cpu and a motherboard that supports overclocking, with the money you save on going to a cheaper i5 and a cheaper motherboard, you might be able to get an r9 280x or gtx 770 :)

SLI 760's gives better than TITAN fps. It should max most games easily. I have a single 760 and if I tweak the settings down a little bit, I run it great.
