Pros to your build: you have a CPU that will handle a large upgrade to the GPU.

Downside, for the price you can get better gaming performance at the cost of future proof.

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 24, 2014

Like this build any big downsides?and whats future prof?

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 24, 2014

is this case any good

The downsides to the build I posted is that the CPU is much more powerful than your GPU, meaning for the money you could get better FPS in games.

Future proof means that you won't have to worry about upgrading your CPU for a while, so it may handle 2 or possibly 3 GPU upgrades.

For the case, rosewill isn't known for anything great. At $50, the corsair 200R is a high quality choice.

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 25, 2014

So what should i change on the build Cpu.gpu.etc

woltej1 · Mar 25, 2014

Well what games and at what resolution do you play. If your games aren't too graphically demanding then the strong CPU with an average GPU might be the better route.

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 25, 2014

will this run Battlefield 4?

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 25, 2014

Will it run Games like Battlefield 4 on high ?

woltej1 · Mar 25, 2014

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,3750-9.html

Yes it will. This is at 1080p resolution and ultra settings. Turning off all AA and some settings down, or if you game at less than 1080p will give good framerates.

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 25, 2014

OK also I plan On buying a better gpu in the future What do you recomend

woltej1 · Mar 25, 2014

Well I hope you don't plan to upgrade for at least 1 year, by then the next gen nvidia will be out so your best option then hasn't been released yet.

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 25, 2014

is this card better only 30 more dollars

woltej1 · Mar 25, 2014

not worth the price, if you want an actual upgrade the 270 is a nice step up.

Jesus Madrigal · Mar 25, 2014

do you mean the r9 270

woltej1 · Mar 25, 2014

sapphire(dualx, vaporx or toxic), msi(twin frozr or a gaming edition), asus(direct CUII cooler) and gigabyte(windforce or their 3 fan cooler) are the top guns, preferably one of the first 3.

and yes, r9 270.
