Yeah, my upwards of $1200 computer can't max out crisis, and that's including a $400 graphics card. When I max it out, I get about 30 fps steady...
Now, that's playable for crysis, because it's optimized to run at lower framerates and still play smoothly, but when you have a 120Hz monitor it just feels sad. And that's with a computer that costs twice as much. (without factoring in the liquid cooling rig for silence and extreme overclocks.)

Just turn off the antialiasing or keep it low, and Im sure you are going to run it just fine, some people take that in order for something to be playable you need 50-60 steady fps, the reality is that you can play well with 20-30 steady fps.
With a $600 system I doubt you have a 120 hz monitor, which are expensive and if you have never been used to play in high end computers, you will think your system is awesome, you cant miss what you dont know. I have an $800 build and I run all games on ultra settings getting 20-40 fps in some graphic intensive games like Metro and the other games play just fine, but I dont care, they still play smooth and I dont get frames lag, go ahead and build your system man.
Btw, 2x4 GB of ram is better than 1x8 GB, since they work in dual channel configuration, unless you are planning to get a second 8GB stick soon, but you dont really need more than 8GB of ram.

Not crisis because a 770 can only run it at 40 fps but maybe bf4Are you saying that I could play crysis 3 with 40 fps on max settings with this build?
you wont be able to max crysis 3 or i think bf4. i doubt if you can reach above 30. you have a weak processor with that build. it will bottleneck you gpu, meaning you want be able to use the max potential of your gpu.
building pc's are complicated mate. you really need to have a balanced build

BF4 only: (dont own crysis 3)
My i7 gtx 670 can max bf4 excluding tank vs tank action which is why I go down to 2x msaa which fixes that. My card is slightly faster than 270x in that game (almost all other games have a larger gap between two cards but the benchmarks don't lie)
Answer: You will be close but if you are sensitive to less than 50fps at any moment you will have to tone it down a small amount. Crysis 3 requires more horsower than BF4.

Please notice that I said that maxed out (with a $400 graphics card) I get 30fps, and then went on to say that that is perfectly acceptable for Crysis, because it's designed to play at lower framerates? I never said that you need to have a steady 60fps, I said that I prefer it.
Also... turns out he has a $400 IPS monitor, which is no less expensive than a good 120Hz monitor. You're correct that they're expensive... but also not that I never said that the OP should get one, and the only reason I was talking about it was that I was saying that I have a 120Hz monitor and felt like playing at a quarter of what it was capable of was sad. That's it...
As for your playing games at ultra settings, getting 20-40fps, and being perfectly happy with it, well... you are part of a very small minority, then. Most people, especially posters on Tom's, would absolutely not be happy with that, and would be more than willing to turn down the graphics settings to hit what they consider an acceptable framerate.
I was not telling the OP to not build his system... I never said that. I was saying that with his budget, it was not possible to completely max the games he was talking about and get an experience that most people would consider "playable." Telling him that he can do it because you're comfortable with 20fps is just as bad as if I had been telling him to give up, or to get a 120Hz monitor, neither of which I was saying.
There was no need to make snide comments about my comment, though I'm hoping that many of them were due to understandings that I cleared up. (Good catch on the RAM, by the way - I missed that. And yeah, 8GB is plenty - it'll simultaneously run battlefield 3, photoshop, and 30 tabs in chrome.)

Most monitors are 60Hz, displaying 60 frames a second. 120Hz monitors display twice the frames every second, meaning they're smoother and more responsive. You, however, have a $400 IPS panel, which should have very good color accuracy.
Really it's going to come down to what you're comfortable with. I would say to go ahead and build this system, but get a good quality 550w or 650w power supply. That way you can play the games you want to, and play with settings. You'll get a low framerate on ultra settings, but if that's okay with you, great! You don't have to spend as much money, and that's a good thing. If you decide you want a better experience, then you can do that - you'll just buy a more powerful graphics card down the road when you've saved up more money, and plop it in there.

To be honest I never intended to "attack your comment". I was just speaking in general, since as you said, thats the general consensus in this forum, people want high fps rates in order for games to be playable, In my humble opinion, high fps rates are just placebo, if your minimum fps never get below 25 and your average fps is above 25-30, you will get a smooth game. I come from a very low end system that was using an AMD HD4650 and I used to play some games at low framerates (average 30s), and now I max those games with over 80-90 fps (sometimes above 100), but since my monitor is 75hz, using vsync on is nice too, but it actually makes no real big difference, games are still smooth I can just have better textures and Aliasing, etc.
There are so many points to clear out I wont go in detail on each one of them but I will tell you Im sorry if you thought I was talking just about your comment, I wasnt, I was just saying what I think and what I thought the OP would like to know. I often see comments about "Oh dont get that PSU, it will fry your system, thats not a good brand. Dont get that mobo, it wont OC well" etc. Im just the guy that says " Hey, it might not be seasonic, but companys still make their products expecting them to work, they would be out of bussiness if they didnt", I just wanted to give him "the other" opinion, once again, sorry If I insulted you in any way.

See, I would consider that point arguable. Yes, there are games that I would consider "playable" at 30fps, but not enjoyable - and I would turn the details down to get a higher framerate. Is it a placebo effect? I don't know - but to me it makes a very noticeable difference.
No worries, and I apologize myself for getting defensive - though for what it's worth, there are a fair number of power supply manufacturers whose PSU will fry your computer, and the reason they're still in business is because they sell stuff cheap enough that people are tempted by it. (As for motherboards, the only reason I would ever say to not get a particular brand is if their customer service is particularly bad - that to me is a deal breaker in case you have to RMA.)

This is a fallacy. A overclocked x4 750k would not hugely bottleneck a GTX770.
that is if he has a good cooler,good overclocking knowledge and a better psu. and with the 750k with a 770 build he is already over the budget. that would mean no coolers and better psu and take note you would need a good motherboard. the motherboard he is going to get isn't enough for the max potential. he would be hugely over the budget if you suggest to overclock

That's a little over my budget but I'm definitely willing to spend the money if your 100% sure that I could max out both crysis 3 and Bf4 with that build...
x4 750k would hugely bottleneck the gpu. go with the fx 6300 then r9 270x. have patience then upgrade your gpu when your budget allows you to
In that case, what build would you suggest?
here mate. this will show you that you really cant max out crysis 3 using an x4 750k

and remember when you go for an fm2 mobo there wont be any chance of an upgrade because basically x4 750k is the same as a10 without the apu. so even if you get the a10 you will still have a bottleneck. while if you go for the fx you can upgrade to 8320 or 8350 on the future. maybe even the steamroller.

with that build you won't max out crisis 3 or BF4. if you want to max out you should get a R9 290x or a GTX 780 ti. your build could do 60 FPS at low to mid on crisis 3 or BF4. for the price your build is a good i would go with it but as long as you have the budget of 600 you won't be maxing out anything

Once again, define what you mean with "max put crysys 3"? Ultra settings @30 fps, probably yes, Ultra settings @60 fps, NO. Like they said many times in this thread already, in order to fully max out Crysys 3 you need a R9 290x or a GTX780 ti. The GTX 780 ti cost is almost the same as your whole system. I guess that will help you understand a little how far are the other cards in terms of performance to the 780 ti

The OP doesn't seem to be bothered about really reading the comments and trying to understand what is actually being said. So, let me sum it up:
The build that you posted CAN max both games - but not with decent frame rates (especially Crysis 3 - Crysis games are notorious for being extremely demanding). So - now the choice is yours - you could buy that system (which ISN'T BAD), but isn't going to give you the option to max all settings and play with decent frame rates for every game. That just won't happen.

Hi Op,
Maxxing out games is possible with your build. But the real question here is what are your goals? Mild gaming, mid level gaming, extreme gaming. I see you are asking for 1080p gaming you didn't specify depth of gaming.
Consider how many hours a day you play, consider how much of eyecandy and power you are willing to sacrifice. Consider upgrade paths for future games.
But in all honesty you will be needing at least 1k to push these 2 to max setting without choking.
Also another thing please do not make the mistake of using a low chipset on a new gen cpu. I made that mistake and it shows "A LOT".I have a phenom 2 x6 1090T on a 890GX and i can tell u its nowhere near as performing as it would on a 970.
What you need to do to achieve ur goal here. If you are an extreme gamer ofc.

Good luck friend

I have 2 7870 GHZ edt in crossfire (the R9 270x is the same than the 7870), firstable I started with just 1 card, and it can run Crysis 3 with everything max out at like 27-30 fps without any AA, bf4 gives a little more frames but again without any AA, normally no one recommend do this, but I found this "friendly budget" because it is too difficult start building your system from scratch and you need to put a lot of money on it that maybe you need to sacrifice some hardware, so obviously for a gaming machine, you need a powerful GPU, but I realize that this is the part of a gaming machine that is change more often and lets be honest, for a 1080p you don“t need the top of the line. I recommend to go for this card that can handle these game at 30 fps 1080p, spend more money maybe in your CPU or power supply to make them time proof, and later crossfire your GPU, with my crossfire now I can run these games at 60fps (min) everything max out with some AA at 1080p, and of course I give you this recommendation if you have a normal 60hz monitor and you want to achieve this experience

I have an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme with an NVIDIA 660Ti with 3 monitors as surround mode (3 monitors = 1 giant monitor) and Crysis3, Grid2, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil all work fine without shuddering or lost frames. the 660Ti is not expensive and does well for only 3 monitors, no more.
I have the NVIDIA GPU set up as full control and not the Mobo/ram/cpu. PCI-E 16x slot.
Some people think the 660Ti doesn't compare to the GTX 690 and consider the 660Ti inferior. However, it is not as powerful as a 690 but has enough power for these games without the big expense
