Hey everyone,
I haven't built a computer in 6 years and wanted to know if this could run games at max settings or if there are areas I could save for better or equal value or if there's better performance available for a slightly more value.
Thanks in advance!
Updated build thanks to everyone's advice: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4jZ84D
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Hopefully within a month
Budget Range: Under $1,500 US preferably, but I can go higher if worth it.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Streaming Movies/TV Shows, Photoshop, Web Surfing.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (but doesn't need to be included in budget)
Parts to Upgrade: This would be a brand new build from scratch.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Charlotte, NC USA
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, Sapphire GPU.
Overclocking: Maybe, would like to learn and try eventually.
SLI or Crossfire: Hasn't come across my mind, unless you guys think it's definitely worth the money.
Your Monitor Resolution: Most likely 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I only play GW2 and Vindictus for now, but I'd like the PC to run BF4 smoothly, to ease my mind about this PC being future-proof.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Last computer was probably built 6 years ago on a budget, so hoping to build a PC that can actually run games at ultra-settings and enjoy the full visual effects rather than on low/med settings.
