Yes I know bit I for got to add I still need to get a OS and mouse and keyboard.

What kind of fps will I get out of my build lets say bf4??

Muku · Mar 20, 2014

as BF4 is an amd title it will perform better on AMD cards. with both 270x and 760 you will get around 40fps at full hd with Ultra settings.

Thanks a lot! So with this build I can run pretty much any game on high settings and still get good fps?

Muku · Mar 20, 2014

Imabeast990 :

More or less.. both these cards give playable FPS {>40} in high settings up to Full HD in most of the modern titles. 760 being a better card than 270x overall.

Will this build run hot?
Do I need to get extra fans

Muku · Mar 20, 2014

Imabeast990 :

I don't think these components run that much hot to create a problem. Some GPUs can get hot while under load but that's completely normal.
Most of the modern cases now provides at least one front intake and one back exhaust out of the box. That should be enough.. No need to get extra fans now..
