Is This A Good Gaming PC?

Dem_Shotz · Mar 14, 2014

Hey community. I just need to know if this (http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/39APC) PC will be capable of running a Screen Recorder (XSplit) and say Battlefield 4 at the same time. I created the load out myself so I have ABSOLUTELY no clue wether or not it's any good. Please leave comments down below (I was trying to stay below $600 with it but it didn't work, if there's anything I can change to make it cheaper please tell me)]
Thanks.

I dont think it can run both smoothly. You're frames will def drop. Playing BF3 with this graphics card, I want to say probably medium-high settings best. You might not be able to play ultra settings smoothly. You should definetly check out youtube of that card and see how it runs as well. Hope this helps

I'm going for 60+ frames so approx. how many frames would it get WITHOUT the screen recorder and how many frames WITH the screen recorder?

I'm always looking for recommendations towards other cards that will work with ~40-50 FPS WITH the screen recorder.

Depending on what settings on you plan on playing bf4. I think you should be fine with 60+ fps if your going low-med settings on BF4 with the recorder. I'd assume you may drop to 30-40 if going high-ultra settings while using the recorder. I don't own a gt 630 gpu, but I have the 650ti boost, and I know fps drops a bit when playing newer games on ultra settings.

I'd try an 4770(k) with a capture card to ensure good streaming quality. This setup wont be too good for streaming, and the video card is extremely weak, it might run bf4 @1080p on low to medium at those frames. Also the 4gb of vram is useless on that GPU, grab something like a 760 2gb.

nashdes001 :

Will this meet my expectations of full 60+ frames when not recording on high - ultra?
And how would I fix that BiOS issue listed there?
Sorry if I'm a complete noob, I'm just getting started but I wanna get as good as I can right off the bat.

This build will def play BF4 and record flawlessly. You can probably ply on ultra and still get 60+frames. I have the 650ti boost and I get 100+ fps playing League of Legends on highest settings.

kenghtt :

Am I right in saying that the 650ti boost is the 2gb version of the same video card?

nashdes001 · Mar 14, 2014

Dem_Shotz :

650ti boost is oced version of 650ti

Dem_Shotz · Mar 14, 2014

Alright thanks everyone for the tips. I'm going to pick nashdes001s' computer as the "solution." Thanks for all the tips from everyone.

Dem_Shotz · Mar 14, 2014

I forgot. How do I fix the BiOS issue listed? I asked it earlier but no one replied.
