i'm looking forward make a new build with an i5 3570k + Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X with Boost OC 2 GB Gddr5 + ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard + Seasonic M12II-850 850 Watts PSU + Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10).
My question now is can the above rig make Watch dogs (1920x1080,All maxed out ultra settings) playable fps.
or if i make it into 2x R9 270x,can it make 60 FPS?

if your on a fix money build. then look to a non k cpu (4690) and h97 motherboard. also if your buying the parts near the end of this year. be care full intel do to foundry issues is dropping the brodwell and skywell cpu at the same time. the skywell cpu will need a new mb as intel again changed the pin out of there cpu. (1151). also some of the leaked info on the net now say nvidia may be dropping some 28mm maxwell this year. if not there going to hold off and drop them next year on 16mm parts.

whats your budget? Also, it is generally better to get a Haswell (current gen) processor and couple it with a z97 board for broadwell (next gen) compatibility. And get a dual slot RAM set (2 x 4 GB) for better performance
