Compatabilty check and BF4 Ultra FPS Estimate

Braxton Jackson · Apr 1, 2014

Basically I want to make sure all the parts on this list are compatable and see if the power supply is too strong or too weak. Also I want to know an estimate of what my fps will be on Battlefield 4 ultra settings while recording with Fraps or streaming via twitch or atleast on high settings.

Intel Core i5-4670 Haswell 3.4GHz (3.8GHz turbo) Quad-Core 6000K
Coolermaster Hyper101, Vertical, 2 Copper Heat Pipes, Extra Quiet CPU fan
ASUS H87M-E, Onboard Video, HD Audio, GB LAN, USB3.0, HDMI & DVI
GeForce GTX 760 2GB PCI EXpress 16X quad head, HDMI
1TB Western Digital Green SATA3 6GB/s 64m cache
Realtek HD digital audio (onboard)
Ethernet network adapter (onboard)
Apevia X-Dreamer-4 Black and Blue, front USB 2.0 & 3.0, Temp. display, Hot swap HDD
Dual Case Fans 120 mm Extra Quiet DC fan (two fans)
Antec Hgh Current Gamer Series 900W Extra Quiet ATX Power Supply SLI & X-fire ready

Drop the cooler as you will not be overclocking.

The PSU is WAY too much. Change to a 500w-600w unit.

With the gtx760 do not expect ultra settings in BF4. Expect 60fps at high settings.

PSU is way overkill a quality 550 watt would handle it, Cooler selected is crap and worse than the bundled one, missing ram which can be max 1.5 volts.
BF4 on Ultra 50+FPS but do not know how streaming/recording will affect.

So is the mother board and everything else okay?

Braxton Jackson · Apr 1, 2014

The motherboard and CPU are fine. The case is junk. I would replace it with an Antec, Corsair, NZXT, Fractal Design, Bitfenix option. That case you selected doesn't even have a bottom mounted PSU. Its OLD.

That new thermaltake PSU is trash. Change to Corsair (not CX, CS, RM), XFX, Seasonic, Antec

tiny voices :

Would an Apevia PSU be okay?

tiny voices · Apr 1, 2014

No it is awful, use ONLY the brands I listed.

The PSU is the most important part of a computer BY FAR. If it fails (cheap ones do ALL THE TIME), it can completely fry and ruin every single component in your computer.

tiny voices :

Okay they have a cosair 750w that is the closest to 550 unless a 500w will work fine.

tiny voices · Apr 1, 2014

500w will be fine. you are not overclocking and the system will easily run fine on 500w. What model Corsair is it?

Braxton Jackson · Apr 1, 2014

Also is the antec sonata III case okay?

Braxton Jackson · Apr 1, 2014

The 500 watt is a Antec Earth Watts

tiny voices · Apr 1, 2014

That 500w unit is ok. What is the 750w option? The Antec case is not very good. It still have a top mounted PSU and is not meant for a gaming build. It is for office builds.

Is this a prebuilt?

Braxton Jackson · Apr 1, 2014

It is a custom build by magic micro with customizable options and the 750w is cosair and also can you look at the cases and tell me which to choose here is a link to the comp im working on. http://www.magicmicro.com/smoreinfo.asp?iid=9275 or if you can make a reccomendation on the parts i should use based on their selection that'd be great too.

tiny voices · Apr 1, 2014

For the case, get the Coolermaster HAF 912.

The PSU options really suck. Get either the Corsair 750w. (likely is the cx750 which is not great, but will work) or the Antec 500w.

Keep the i5 and the h87 board. Those are good.

rolli59 · Apr 1, 2014

Yep either the Corsair CX750 or the Antec 500 both will handle it, starting to look much better.

Braxton Jackson · Apr 1, 2014

Also are the case fans necessary or does the case come with fans and also will there be any noticeable difference between the 500w and 750w?

tiny voices · Apr 1, 2014

The PSU does not affect performance. There will be no difference at all between the 500 and 750w unit.

The HAF 912 comes with a rear exhaust and a front intake. This is plenty. no need to add more.
