The monitor and OS is what's making it go over ;-;

Newbbuilder11 · Jun 19, 2014

I tried going for an intel build for performance, but I can do an amd build as well

afterme · Jun 19, 2014

If you can post up your recommended intel build I'd appreciate it. AMD build would be great too.

afterme :

An FX-6300 and 270X would be able to max out Final Fantasy ARR

joker50060 :

Would your recommended build run consistently? I'm looking to not build another pc probably for the next 1.5 years. Also I'm going to need a wireless card. The place I'm at does not have a jack so I'll have to connect wireless.

Btw, thanks for being so fast.

joker50060 · Jun 19, 2014

Ya it would live for 1.5 year maybe more you running the new games at medium to high.
Added Wireless card

I'm seriously about to buy all this right now.

Newbbuilder11 · Jun 19, 2014

Oh crap I messed up the part list, ima fix it! but I'm going on the road so I'll update as soon as i can.

joker50060 · Jun 19, 2014

Buy it.
Its a good build and has a very good monitor too.
Good Luck

afterme · Jun 19, 2014

Newbbuilder11 :

Ok guys so my brother has a OS for me so we can take that out of the equation. Golly this is very exciting LOL. If you guys are wondering why I'm so eager to build a pc, it's because the lenovo laptop I bought and received today keeps shutting down from overheating while playing FFXIV ARR. Pissed me off and slapped myself for going with a laptop for such a CPU/GPU intensive game.

joker50060 · Jun 19, 2014

It kinda won't last as it has a 750TI
Rosewill PSU?
Not a pretty good monitor
an OC Motherboard with a non OC CPU
(Overpriced Mobo for the budget too)

afterme · Jun 19, 2014

joker50060 :

Hey Joker,

Could I swap out your case and use a Fractal Define R4 Case?

joker50060 · Jun 19, 2014

afterme :

Yes!
if you can afford it.
but its kinda for the like over the 1000$ build
You can go for the Corsair C70 too looks cool and tough
or you can put the 100$+ on the GPU to get an R9 280

afterme · Jun 19, 2014

joker50060 :

Joker,

Thank you so much for your time. I'm going to go ahead and purchase these parts. Well, I'm going to microcenter tomorrow morning with this list and see if they can get all those parts in. I rather have all the parts in one place so I can just pick it up. But yeah, thanks for everything and you said this will run Final Fantasy XIV ARR at max settings right? It won't overheat or anything right?

Yes it can max it out.
Overheat?
No such thing the GPU can be OCed too if you want too.
No problem my pleasure to help

If you need anything else just PM

Thanks so much for everything and once I have it all setup, I'll PM you a picture LOL. Again, thanks!

Hey Joker,

So that GPU you recommended for me will be replaced with a

GIGABYTE R9 280X 3GB

Due to a deal I just across from a buddy. It's being sold for 220 so that's one heck of a deal. Will I have need to change anything around?

I read a review it said something about the card does require 8 PIN and 6 PIN PCI-E connectors from the PSU. Will the PSU you recommended work just fine?
