when gta 5 pc release

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 16, 2014

What is your budget? Do you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, or operating system? Where do you live?

paitjsu sadff · Apr 16, 2014

good to know, come back when the game hit the market as the price and good deals changes everyday it would be a waste of time starting looking at this right now...

It makes no sense to pair a non-K CPU with a z87 board. Either get an H87 board and save money or get the 4670k for overclocking.

i did not really realize this ill go ahead and add a k version then

heres the new one with just the link-http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3sJoz
feel free to buy a different case to your liking

This will perform better in the long run then the core i5, for gaming in HD that's all you're gonna need for the next 3 or 4 years...good GPU's...

This kit allow for overclocking on the CPU upward of 4.5ghz if needed, 4.3 ghz with no voltage bumb required.
anything will run on this machine on highest details possible provided you always have an high-end GPU.

This kit with a good gpu like a GTX 760,770 or 780 will dominate any game on the market and give high quality HD gaming at upward of 60fps constant in most games at high or ultra details in regard of the GPU you can afford. You may also look at a radeon r9 280, r9 280x or r9 290 graphics card as well. Any of these solutions will provide much better graphics and performance in next gen games than any console available on the market.

I leave the rest of the build in your hands you need to add: case, storage, graphics card and OS if needed.

That's this exact setup with a GTX 780 OC i'm using for gaming everyday except i went witch corsair memory of equivalent performance but the gskill is just too well priced atm but other then that i can assure that this system run's any modern games at highest details possible and will continue to do so in the future with games going the way they are directX12 and mantle APi's it will only continue to do even better.

An i5-4670k will beat the 8320 in a lot of games and the i7-4770k will obliterate it.

paitjsu sadff · Apr 16, 2014

Joseph DeGarmo :

This is totaly un-true the benchmarks you've seen where all the same, single-threaded games benchmarked at low resolution and no anti-alisasing to really highlight the single core performance of intel the best they can, the truth is nobody play at such low resolution with no Anti-aliasing...you have to turn down the resolution to 800x600 and go above 150fps to see the difference of both CPU's and even then the difference is there with games that uses 2 core or less...any other game they perform the same.

So in real gaming scenario there is absolutely ZERO difference between both solutions as both CPU's are plenty enough to get the most out of any games when paired with an high-end GPU. The GPU will always be the weakest link at high/ultra settings and i can prove this i own an highly overclocked GTX780 and my FX cpu feeds this monster to 99% in EVERY single game i tried even the single-threaded one and i own a bunch of them...

And in the long run as most games wil start utilising more and more heavy threads the 8 core AMD FX will catch-up pretty fast on the core i5, it's only a question of time and every experts agree on this. And unless games start to take advantage of hyperthreading wich is not the case for the moment the FX will catch up with the core i7 too...sorry

There are some games, such as Crysis 3, which take advantage of hyperthreading. Therefore, a 4770k will show the 8320 who's boss. SORRY.

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 16, 2014

Ok guys, break up the fanboy fight and wait for the OP to give us some more info...

paitjsu sadff · Apr 16, 2014

Joseph DeGarmo :

If games uses hyperthreading, i was not aware that crysis 3 was doing that, then yes the performance of both cpu's on the long run should be similar.

vmN · Apr 16, 2014

Okay, I'm tired of hearing fairytales.

There is a difference between a 4670k and 8350 in gaming, 4570k is much better at handling higher workload and could certianly be noticeable for some games (Even games that aren't single-threaded).

I would recommend you guys learning what a thread is. Remember that threads can stack on core, which they do (If you were limited by 8 threads in total, you wouldn't have a functional windows system).

Nothing is wrong with thread-stacking. It happends all the time.

You would need to have the basics understanding about what a heavy-thread is.

As someone who have been building computers for alot of people, setting up their computer, overclocking and testing it, and can tell for sure that the 8350 gaming performance isn't quite similar to the 4670k.

To be perfectly clear, the 8350 are still doing a hell of a job, and it still belongs to the HEDT CPU.

paitjsu sadff · Apr 16, 2014

vmN :

i agree with all you say, i know what a thread is..i know my computer is currently running well over 20 light threads as i'm typing this and i know how heavy gaming threads are dealed with by modern CPU's...i know all that i've been playing and working with and on computers all my life and i'm 32 now...i had my first computer at home i was 6 years old it was an intel i386DX i then had pentium's (100, 266, 333) then a celeron 500 then athlon and thunderbird 1000 etc...i know all that, but can you agree with me that all those modern CPU's (FX-6300, FX-83xx, core i5, core i7 etc) they all are plenty enough to feed any high-end GPU's no mather how the workload is spread on them and unless you trash the resolution to 800x600 and completely lift the load on the GPU to leave only the CPU work and ramping the FPS to like 150fps on ultra details and low resolution you can hardly tell the difference between any of these CPU's...in other words, in real gaming scenario no CPU's are better then the other unless you cheat the results and look only at raw efficiency...any of these modern CPU's are plenty for any games even multiplayer as of today, it's all about future proofing on these and in that regard i honestly think that a CPU thant can handle more work load by using more computing units like the FX 8 core are more future proof then even the best core i5 available...even if yes i know the IPC on these is through the roof...but looking where the gaming industry is heading at this point, having the more logical computing units the better IMHO

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 16, 2014

Hello. This has now been 15 posts that nothing has been done but fighting between Intel and AMD, and the OP hasn't responded in any way yet. How about we wait for a post by the OP.

But haswell DO have more computing units.

paitjsu sadff · Apr 16, 2014

Jacob McIntosh :

LOL!!!

obviously this thread is not taken really seriously as we don't even know for sure if GTA5 will ever been released on PC and until it does many things will have changed in the market, different products, pricings, good deals...so why not use it as a chat room instead?!
ok seriously OP if you read this and need advice on your computer we need more information (budget, other games you want to play, screen resolution, do you have an OS or you need one, storage...etc... thanx !

Joseph DeGarmo · Apr 16, 2014

I'm pretty sure that when the Intel Haswell-E eight-core CPUs are released, then it will break up the monotony between the AMD eight-core and Intel Core i7 CPUs. At a steeper price, of course. I would suspect that GTA V will be optimized for eight cores and the 8350 should be enough to handle it, but Intel has much better performance per core.
