I want to play battlefield 4 and dayz standalone at medium to high settings. I am coming from play station and xbox but I have dabbled in pc gaming and love how much better and smoother the game runs. I am limited to $400 because it is for my birthday this isn't including an os or peripherals.

More about : 400 gaming peripherals needed

it can be done but just barely play station and xbox were old tech even when they came out next to pc's but save because in truth that's a low ball amount for a build that your going to have to upgrade pretty soon just to meet the min but really depends on what you wanna play

$400 is really limiting yourself on a gaming rig but you could start with something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2VbHR

It will play games pretty decent off of the onboard graphics to hold you over. Then you can save a little money to add another stick of 4gb ram and a video card which you can crossfire with the on-board graphics.

This is a good build, but if you could fit in about 450$ you could get a better graphics and insure you can run those two games. But in my opinion i don't think dayz will be very playable with that gpu.

+1 that card is definitely weak. The power supply isn't exactly known for quality either. 750k cpu is nearly retired, not to say that it isn't viable still, I would just pick something newer on a fresh build

it might run but its going to be stressed, older games will be smooth tho or i guess you could turn things down through settings but its kind of asking too much try craigslist you might have to drive to go pick it up but its a simpler way of getting a gaming comp you might get lucky and get a decent one

This is going to be my first and I can't handle money I'll blow it in an instant anyways so I might just accept my fate of not getting a pc until I have a decent paying job

i disagree, if you were to upgrade anything it should be the cpu
