I Would get an r7 265. It is newly released and is considered the 750ti killer. The r7 265 is decently better than the 750ti across the board and it costs exactly the same.

tiny voices :

and do you know what fps I will get by any chance

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2014

That is impossible to accurately determine. In DayZ standalone, you can probably expect to play at "normal" as long as your turn off bloom and get 60fps at 1080p. DayZ is VERY VERY poorly coded. I have a 660ti and an i5 and I can barely get 45fps at high at 1080p.

Kantalope12 · Apr 13, 2014

ok thanks. Its a shame it cant be completely determined

tiny voices · Apr 13, 2014

No matter what settings you end up with, the game will definitely be playable and smooth.

Kantalope12 · Apr 14, 2014

I only have about 850 dollars right now is there any way you could change it so it is below900 before mail in rebates

ModernWarfare · Apr 14, 2014

Included better RAM, better GPU, and a better quality wired keyboard and mouse as wireless stuff isn't great for gaming. Comes in at 898 without rebates.

He said 900 BEFORE rebates. Your build is $60 over

Kantalope12 · Apr 14, 2014

also would I need to buy that fan
dosent the cpu come with one?

Kantalope12 · Apr 14, 2014

also im new to pc building would that be all I need for a build

ModernWarfare · Apr 14, 2014

yes they come with a stock cooler

going with tiny voices build is great.

Kantalope12 · Apr 25, 2014

Would this be good ?

tiny voices · Apr 25, 2014

Not really. The CPU is too weak and will bottleneck the GPU pretty badly.

Kantalope12 · Apr 25, 2014

Do you think I should downgrade the hpi to an r9 270x and upgrade the CPU?

tiny voices · Apr 25, 2014

Yes, you need to upgrade the CPU or the GPU will go completely to waste.

Kantalope12 · Apr 25, 2014

Ok what CPU would you recomend?a 6300?

tiny voices · Apr 25, 2014

The 6300 is a great CPU to pair with the r9 270x.

Kantalope12 · Apr 25, 2014

Ok and would all of that be compatible with eachother because I plan to order it today

tiny voices · Apr 25, 2014

Kantalope12 :

Yes, the 6300 and 270x will be compatible with this build. I would change the PSU to an XFX550 though. MUCH better quality.

Kantalope12 · Apr 25, 2014

Ok thanks very much

Kantalope12 · Apr 25, 2014

can you look at it again I just updated it.

tiny voices · Apr 25, 2014

Looks fine. I would change the PSU, but thats me.
