This is my spec that someone built for me so far
I was told that I can absolutely run BF4 with ultra setting(absolute maximum with all AA utilized) without much problem.
What do you guys think?
If I was to make sure it runs on maximum graphics setting (best resolution possible too) , perfectly smooth FPS every time without notable frame drop, what's the spec replacement you guys recommend?
If I do that, how much would that cost (I really want the cheapest way possible
)
I wish my cpu or gpu to be most efficient..
I would also be very happy if my desktop could even run high settings with smooth FPS
Since I really am no way near an expert in computer parts,, could you guys give me advice about my spec right now? Like, anything that looks insufficient for performance or anything that doesn't seem right? or even cheap way to make it much more efficient?
Thank you so much for your help guys!

At 1080p, this setup will not be powerful enough for Battlefield 4 at ultra. You would need TWO GTX 660 to get 40-50 FPS, and then the CPU might bottleneck. You're looking at about 1-1.2K for a computer that can fully max BF4 at 1080p.
Your suggested config is pretty well balanced, so if you are on a budget, there isn't much I would change. Maybe get a R9 270 instead of the 660, but that's about it.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
what would you say about 1080p high settings?
would I be able to run on high settings with all the AA and stuffs on? by which I mean, no fps lower than 60?
Does replacing GTX 660 to R9 270 result in huge performance difference??
By the way, although I am on certain budget, I really do not mind unless it goes over 1.5k
So, I will really appreciate if you can think of a spec upgrade that brings a huge amount of performance enhancement with relatively small investment??
Again thank you so much

Bump you gpu up to a gtx 760 ($250) and you'll be able to play with some/most settings maxed out at 1080p (probably not AA). You will also need to overclock your cpu. An R9 280X would be better, but that's even pricier and pretty out of stock (usually $310, but perhaps due to bitcoin mining, is way pricier now at like $400).
P.S. You don't need that many case fans unless it gets really hot where your computer will be and/or you want your case to have light-up fans. That many fans will add quite a bit of noise.

I live in normal dorm and it will be placed near heater
how many should I remove??Also, if I do change to gtx 760, do I not need to upgrade cpu??

Just a quick input: I have an ASUS GTX 570 triple slot. I have less processors than a 660 and only 1 gb GDDR5 VRAM. I can run ultra with fps drops on occasion. I can run high with rare fps issues. I run custom competitive settings with 0 fps issues. The 660 is a "better" card than mine and should be able to at least run ultra with rare fps drops.
EDIT: after reading more into the post and the parts. This seems to be a mid level gaming build. Are you willing to spend a few hundred more to get a top level build or do you want to save money and still have a machine that will run well enough?

well, I'd say few hundred dollars more will be a little too expensive to afford D:
if its a spec up that requires less than 200 dollars I will be happy to..
since I also have to buy all other stuffs like a good monitor and speaker, I would say about 1k should be absolute maximum on those specs

Okay, then keeping the fans is fine. They will spin at 100% though, unless you get a fan controller or have enough fan pin headers on your motherboard (which I doubt).
You don't necessarily need to upgrade your cpu. Just make sure you overclock it. If you need help with overclocking, feel free to ask. Plenty of people here with experience overclocking amd cpu's.
Also, you will not be able to max all settings and run at 60fps. If you really want to run everything at 60fps, you will need to get a gtx 770. If you're fine maxing some settings (definitely not AA), then the gtx 760 will suffice. I really want to recommend getting the r9 280x, but its too pricey right now and often out of stock =(. IF you can somehow find one for around $310, that would be great though.
EDIT: I totally thought the gtx 770 was still pricier. It's actually not as pricey anymore, only ~$330-350. There's one from $330 from gigabyte (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) on newegg right now. There's good deals on one's from msi (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) and evga (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...) as well.

Just to make sure in case,
someone mentioned me to throw away those AMD cpus and rather replace it with intel CPUs
If I was to buy either GTX 660, GTX 670 or R9 280x would it be safe to say I can maximize those efficiency with current CPU?
if not, whats your recommendation? to maximize efficiency of those graphic cardS?

If you can get your hands on an old(ish) Radeon 7970 (same thing as the r9 280x), that would be perfect. If not, I agree with what fudoka suggested. Either a 760 or 770 (with OC, of course).
The intel CPU (i5...) would be ideal for gaming, but much more expensive. For a 1k PC, that would be my recommendation. At 800$, however you're better off with an OC'ed FX.

I cannot find the second monitor I use. Not going to bother looking for the misc stuff, easier just to type it.

AMD cpu's are fine, but you should definitely do a moderate overclock. The r9 280x is too pricey right now, so don't get that. The gtx 670 would be great. If you're interested in the gtx 670, you might as well get the gtx 770 - they are the same price on newegg and the gtx 770 is better.
Also, for not that much more, I would recommend getting a 650-700W power supply. Technically, the 600W you chose should be fine though.
EDIT: If you can find an AMD 7970 (like dav_jw mentioned) for ~$310-330, that would be good, too. But sadly, they're usually out of stock and overpriced because of the lack of supply (just like the r9 280x).

I'm actually not sure about how to do over clocking and to be honest I do not even know how to build parts and am planning to make the website build it for me
would I be able to make the people who build for me do the overclocking for me?
also, would buying a cpu that doesn't need overclocking cost a lot?
Thanks so much!

A CPU that overclocks for intel has the letter K at the end of the processor name. This means that it is unlocked and can be overclocked. Yes the people that do the build should be able to overclock it for you if you get a compatible processor. They cost slightly more but with a decent cooler it is well worth getting as it can help future proof your build a bit. Mine runs at 4.0GHz and the cpu has not gone past 58 C

If you're getting it from a site like iBuypower or CyberPC, yes they can overclock for you. However, its not that hard! We also generally recommend building the PC your self as it will be cheaper and can be fun. If you need help overclocking, just search the forums about overclocking an FX-6300.
Yes, buying a cpu that doesn't need overclocking would add at least $75-100 more to the total cost. I don't want you spending more than you have to. Ideally, getting an i5-4670k and gtx 770 would be great, but would likely add too much to the total cost.

No no, buying an AMD CPU that does not need overclocking would cost MORE than one that one that needs it.
Buying an Intel CPU that cannot be overclocked would cost LESS than an Intel CPU that could be overclocked.

Er, what? You're telling him to pay at least $80 more, on top of spending at least $50 more on a graphics card. A simple overclocking negates the need to upgrade the cpu.

He said it's going next to a heater. Overclocking that AMD is gonna be iffy with that air cooler.
You make a valid point though. He should go for the AMD with a nice cooling solution or go with a i5-4670 with a mid level solution. i5-4670 would provide a little more futureproofing, but the investment is greater as well. Ignore those other two i5's they are not worth their current price point.

Yea, I agree and think getting the i5-4670 regular or k version would be best. I just didn't want him spending too much. An i5 does run cooler.

Glad we could find a solution, sorry if I seemed rude at all, that was not my intention. It all depends on his want for high end graphics. Does the price push you away so much that you are willing to give up better graphic quality? Or can you dish out some extra dough to get top quality?
