Hello,
My current PC has a lot of trouble running BF4. I'd like to upgrade to have 8 or 16GB DDR3. Here is my current build:
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad 750W
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked to 3.4
RAM: G.SKILL F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK PC2-6400 4GB
mobo: p5q deluxe
GPU: 6950 2G
SSD: 60G OCZ Vertex2 (The game will be on a HDD, probably)
I am looking for the cheapest CPU, RAM and Motherboard combo that will not bottleneck the 6950. No overclock, no crossfire. I will probably change the whole computer in 1 year for DDR4.
My current thought (Price are in CAN):
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3V LGA1150 DDR3 Motherboard MATX 73.47$
Kingston HyperX Black 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Desktop Memory KHX16C10B1B/8 87.96$
Intel Haswell i5-4570 LGA1150 3.2GHz Processor BX80646I54570 210.03$
Total: 364.96$ (I have small rebate since I pay cash)
So, is it possible to go cheaper for the same gaming performance? And will it run BF4 as much as the 6950 can go?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
