Hey, I am going to build this pc : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Jopz
I was wondering if anyone can give any suggestions on how well this will work or how I can make it cheaper without losing too much proformance? Also, if I decide to get an extra gpu and put it in crossfire, will my cpu bottleneck it and will I have enough power for it? Any help would be greatly apriciated. How well would it work on battlefield 4

Could I just get 4 gigs of ram and upgrade later to lower the price? Also, how well would I be able to play games like BF4 and Far Cry 3

Yes you could just get 4GB for now and add 4GB more later. You could use that extra money to get a 270x or just make the build cheaper.


It will be a decent gaming rig but you can't expect much for $550. It would be GREAT @ 720p or 900p but you'd probably have to settle for medium settings at 1080p depending on the game.

The motherboard supports crossfire but you would need a more powerful power supply. Probably need 650w minimum. This is a decent build for the price.
