So I have been doing some research and after many years of playing on my old PC its time to build a new PC! However I've always gotten a pre-built pc so I've tried picking my own parts. I was hoping to build a gaming pc that could run all these new gen games on ultra( Bf4, bf hardline , watchdogs , Gta 5 (maybe) with relatively high frames. I was also unsure if I should get the i5 or i7 processor, I have heard there isn't too big of a difference between the two for gaming but I would like another opinion. If you have any edits to the build please share, also anything that could make the build better while staying near 1200 USD. Thank you in advance!!

Here is a good build that is capable of playing all those games. The graphics card comes with Watch Dogs included, so buy as early as you can.

You dont need an I7 for gaming...an I5 will be just fine. This shouldnt have any issues with the games you listed. Watchdogs is having issues right now so I wouldnt worry so much about that game. But this will be just fine for BF4.

How much frames on , lets say battlefield 4. Also thanks for the input

 

At Ultra settings, 1080p, and Antialiasing, BF4 will run 40-50+FPS. That is very playable.
