IS this a good gaming PC setup?

GraysonA · Jan 2, 2014

I am going to be building my very first PC which will be used on the following games: Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Sniper Elite V2. How well would the PC handle these games, what setting can they be played at and what will the FPS be at? Also, if there are any suggestions on which I should change please tell me. I would also like to know if I should swap the Video Card for the Radeon R9 280x or am I better with what I have? My budget is $1000-1300

Thank you for the help!

you should either add another stick or ram for 2x8 or get 2x4 instead. rest looks good.

You won't notice much performance difference with a single stick of RAM vs dual channel when you're running a dedicated GPU, a single stick also ensures maximum upgradability in the future

The 280x and 770 perform at about the same level so either of them is fine, alot of the 280x cards are either pretty expensive right now (thanks to mining) or out of stock

Might as well save a little cash and pick this instead

It's a good build and I would just stick with the770. I just got the MSI 770 myself and it's great. If you could find some added room in your budget or possibly a future upgrade would be a SSD. The 120gb samsung evo is a good one at about $90
