I have

CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: MSI GTX 770 GAMING OC
RAM: 6GB
MOBO: ASROCK 970 EXTREME 4
RESOLUTION: 1920X1080
CPU COOLER: CM HYPER 212 EVO

I will probably overclock my 8320 to 8350 level

From the looks of it, for the most part yes or get damn near close to it, the only thing that may hold you back a bit is the 6GB of ram (usually after windows uses some ram and everything else you're left with about ~4.5GB with those 6GB you currently have). With a 770 @ 1080p & a 8320 you're solid.

Probably yes, I'm not 100% sure.

You should definitely get high settings if not ultra. More RAM wouldn't hurt, but 6 shouldn't be too detrimental.

the op will probably no be able to run the game on ultra.

More Ram is a good idea! Both Titanfall and BF4 use more than 6 gb of ram in my system.
Titanfall uses over 7 gb sometimes.

I'm not sure how much Watchdogs will use however it's a next gen like the others mentioned.

It's hard to say accurately, because the game isn't out, which means there are no benchmarks or anything to go upon other than looking at the game and guessing, so if mr91's information is accurate, you'll probably get somewhere between high and ultra. I would spend the money for more RAM, as it will increase your performance the most for the lowest price. Considering it suggests the 4770k, it seems like either they're trying to make you spend more money than is necessary, or it really does utilize more cores effectively, which means your 8320 should run it pretty well.

You should be able to run it at max settings, but as was said before, since it isn't out, who knows. I do honestly believe that Ubisoft is trying to get the "crysis effect" going with this game, only their game will not live up to the hype. They want people to buy it, even if it is a bad game, simply to see if their system can play it.

Yeah, I highly doubt it will take a 4770k to run it at max settings. That just seems excessive. We'll see when it comes out.

The 4770k might not be completely necessary however I think the 780 will be necessary @ 1080p and 780 ti at 1440p.

In My opinion...

I would definitely wait until some benchmarks come out before upgrading anything. It would suck to upgrade to a 780 and learn that it can max it out on a 770.

Thanks guys :)  I just got my 770 3 months ago so I don't want to upgrade it. I am however probably going to get 8gb and add in 2gb of ram to make it 10

I suggest you get two identical modules to enable dual channel

8 gb should be enough Ram

You don't need 10gb of RAM. Just go up to 8.

Doesn't matter, prices fluctuate by about $5 daily. What's your current RAM setup? Do you have 3x2?

It'll be a few months, and it will be expensive and not necessarily much faster, just get one more 2gb stick.

Thanks :)  I'm buying 2 new 4gb sticks because I'm planning to give the older ram to my mom for watching shows and browsing
