ultra high? not unless you are playing at a low resolution. anything more would need a $600-$700 gpu. you'll be looking at medium to high settings. you might get better but i won't give you false hope.

sorry.

i would be very, very suspicious if they are claiming 60 fps @1080 ultra on either crysis 3 or BF4. a rule of thumb is to spend about twice as much for the gpu as you do for the cpu since most games are gpu bound.

you'll get much better performance going with a FX 6300 and R9 280(x) than a 8320 with a R9 270x.
