Good Gaming PC Build?

ry4n_1337 · Jul 27, 2014

Can this build run the following on Ultra maintaining 60+ FPS?

Battlefield 4
Battlefield 3
GTA IV (40+ FPS is fine)
GTA V (Estimation)

Here's the build (I'll probably swap out the Gigabyte Windforce for an EVGA SuperClocked GTX 770 4GB (Wasnt available on PCPartsPicker):

Can it fulfill my needs

Joseph DeGarmo · Jul 27, 2014

Watch Dogs and GTA V may need an i7-4790k CPU and GTX 780 to run smoothly on ultra, but otherwise, nice build. However, I would not recommend a Corsair CX series PSU; get a SeaSonic or XFX instead.

You know what, fuck Watch_Dogs. I'm not going to upgrade all these parts just to play a stupid game. Can it run the other games though? Especially GTA IV?

No can do. In my opinion:

Intel + Nvidia > ATI and AMD

Joseph DeGarmo · Jul 27, 2014

Get a GTX 780 instead.

ry4n_1337 · Jul 27, 2014

For 300$ more? Nothxm8

R9 290x >> GTX 770

ry4n_1337 · Jul 27, 2014

I don't need this I only want 60FPS

filippi · Jul 27, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

This is something strange to say,,, Are you looking for less performance for your money?

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014

Dont care about money, my parents are CEOs of a soda company and make $1M yearly (together). All I need is a gaming PC that can run 60 fps lowest (becuz 60hertz monitor is what im getting)

legend001523 · Jul 28, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

oh... okay.... Why this low budget pc if your parents make this much?

and amd for your price range would be more suitable

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014

I want to not be a spoiled child. Also, my parents say im really good with not being spoiled and ask for everything like my other siblings, and i want to keep it this way

legend001523 · Jul 28, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

okay, but the amd gpu thing, you'd be better off with that

rudebwoy · Jul 28, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

listen if you want 60 fps steady on gta iv just change the graphics card you have posted to a r9 290x then youll be ok

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014

Well amd scares me tbh once i had a nightmare it lit on fire and killed my parents and it strangled me i thought it was a sign

legend001523 · Jul 28, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

well it's not a sign, would you rather be a nvidia fanboy or get good fps? your choice really

rudebwoy · Jul 28, 2014

troll

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014

BF4 likes intel and nvidia more runs smoother

legend001523 · Jul 28, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

how does one game 'like' intel? BF4 has mantle support, something amd produces, DICe and AMD produced the game optimised for amd cards, whether the results that achieves are arguable, nevertheless, if anything bf4 leans more towards the amd side

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014

thanks sir, i never quite caught ur name?

rudebwoy · Jul 28, 2014

legend001523 :

hes trolling

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014

im not trolling? i need a gaming pc and im worried. do i even have a gooD PSU

legend001523 · Jul 28, 2014

ry4n_1337 :

yes, a 600w psu from xfx or seasonic will do

ry4n_1337 · Jul 28, 2014
