Although it will run it you can't expect constant 60+FPS. Even higher spec systems get dips in FPS in certain situations so don't get upset.

VenBaja · Apr 13, 2014

When I had the FX-6300 and 7870 LE I would get dips into the 40's on BF3, and that was at 720p with some settings on medium. It's a great budget CPU but it will struggle some on larger multiplayer games. Those tend to be very CPU dependent. Overclocking will help, but I'd go with a 8320 if you can swing it. I think you'll be happier with the results if you want higher FPS.

Ok thanks what about the I5 3570k or amd rd 8350

logainofhades · Apr 14, 2014

With your low resolution, high just might be possible. I would look into a better monitor. You will thank yourself for having a widescreen to play games on. Even on low details, 1080p will look better than 1280 x 1024.

What if I got a fx 8350 and a 1080p monitor will that work or will my res hurt it

logainofhades · Apr 14, 2014

Go with an FX 8320. It will match an FX 8350 with just a multiplier bump to 20. That with a 1080p monitor will work fine. The 270x is a pretty decent midrange card. Do you have the FX 6300 system now, or are you looking to build from scratch?

RCguitarist · Apr 14, 2014

At the 1280x1024 resolution you stated, yes, you will be good for battlefield 4 on high. You may or may not hit 60fps, but you will be over 30 and that is what consoles run at so it will be perfectly playable.

i am looking to build from scratch in the next couple of weeks because my athlon x2 6000+ isnt cuttin it anymore

This is a better starter for a build that will run BF4 on max settings and good framerates:

if you could then upgrade the video card for a r9 280x or GTX770 wich ever is lowest priced where you are it would be even better, but for gaming HD 1080p modern games that's all you need...you save a lot going with this motherboard but don'T worry it's very good quality and will sustain the craziest overclocks for prolonged period of time no problem...do you need the 990FX for SLI/Crossfire?

i leave the case, storage and operating system at your discretion. i recommand windows 8 of course..

the 8 core fx will run games at max settings for a longer period of time as the future games will be optimised for 8 thread capabe cpu's...for that reason i would not recommand a core i5 even if the cpu does performs really well in current and older games the fx 8 core runs them just as well and will last longer for next gen games...also gskill memory is crap from my own experience i only had problems with those sticks i would recommand the corsair vengeance even tho they are a bit pricier..

logainofhades · Apr 14, 2014

There is nothing wrong with Gskill. Every single one of my systems are using Gskill. I have had only one set go bad in the many years I have been using it, which was a ddr2 1000 set. The RMA process was quick and painless. Even my laptop is using gskill. Crysis 3 is perfectly multithreaded, and the FX 8350 loses to an Ivy i5 with regards to minimum framerate. I do agree that if you are gaming and recording, the FX does have a bit of an edge. Pure gaming, no.

paitjsu sadff · Apr 14, 2014

crysis 3 is not ''perfectly multi-threaded'' as it use 3 heavy threads and spread the rest of the load to other available cores just like bf4 is doing, this is why the core i5 does still very good in those games...so far no games required 6 or 8 real heavy threads like real next gen games for ps4 will use, watch dogs should be the first game to do that...for gskill maybe it was bad luck on my part but memory is a delicate thing and i would not trust anything other then corsair or kingston..

logainofhades · Apr 14, 2014

Well, I have 4 desktops and a single laptop all using G-skill. I find it odd that you have had problems with it.

paitjsu sadff · Apr 14, 2014

it alright..maybe i just got bad sticks they worked fine for about 2 months with normal clock and then one them went coucou...

I_LIKE_TURTLES · Apr 15, 2014

But I want to be able to overclock so will the FX 8350 run it with maby a 780 later with 1080p

logainofhades · Apr 15, 2014

So you are wanting to pay more to do something that will still give you inferior performance?

paitjsu sadff · Apr 15, 2014

I_LIKE_TURTLES :

This is really what i would go for to start your build, the FX-8350 will give you nothing more than the 8320, it's the same exact chip and if you plan on overclocking it anyway the 8320 will give you just as good results...and this setup will allow for the craziest overclocks

This kit will feed a GTX 780 with ease and will allow to run every modern games at highest settings for quite a while.

Are you looking to overclock just because you enjoy overclocking, or is it because you think it will result in better performance? If you just like overclocking, grab the FX and have at it. If you care about performance, get the i5.

paitjsu sadff · Apr 15, 2014

VenBaja :

I think it's kind of funny too how he went from FX-6300 up to the FX-8350...that's why i built the foundation of a rig with the 8320 for 365$ that would allow for monster overclocks...to get closer to the FX-6300 in prices...and will allow for epic performance in modern games provided that he could still afford an high-end GPU...but seing the low resolution OP is going to use i would say at 1280x1024 even a GTX 560 or 650 would play BF4 on ultra preset...or a radeon r7 250 for example...

..and at such low resolution i'm sure you can barely even tell the difference between low and ultra anyway...i don't see the point of building a gaming PC to game on an old crt low res monitor (or very small flat panel i don't know i don't care) op you need a new monitor to begin with that will do 1080p get something that is like 24" otherwise it's not worth all the $$ you will put in that rig...sorry

as i said i will get 2 1080p monitors and a fx 8 series

paitjsu sadff · Apr 15, 2014

alright then the fx-8320 will fit this requirement very nicely with a gtx 760 or radeon r9 280 or 280x...i would not bellow that for 1080p if you want high/ultra settings...

JalluNasse · May 20, 2014

Ok, i have to say wtf? it seems that most of the ppl here doesnt know much what they are talking about, just watching some benchmark scores and rely second hand knowledge.
I have Phenom ii X4 965 Black edition and Gigabyte R9 270x 2gb. I get +60fps at High settings 1080p. fx 6300 will perform way way better, my friend owns it.
