Hi all,
i'm thinking of moving from a lenovo y-50 notebook to a desktop. i play some mmorpg games that really require high frame rates and my current laptop fails to do that when i'm multiclienting. its working fine on single client but not on multis. can anyone suggest me a good desktop build in n around 800$ that could be a lil future proof and play fps games like BF, L4D etc at high frame rates.

Thank you.

@Joe-

Thank you for the quick reply. i wanted to know what do you think about Intel Core i5-4690K as the CPU and Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X as the graphic card. i dont mind shedding a few more bucks if thats what it takes to make it a bit more future proof.

Thanx again ^_^

The i5-4690k looks nice and all, but if you want to really future-proof your rig, it is recommended to get an i7-4790k CPU since games recommending 8-core CPUs are beginning to roll in at a faster pace.

Well if you want a future prof computer which is pretty hard to determine though. But the CPU is good but change the graphics card to a R9 290 or 290X. If not then you may need to upgrade it in 3 years or so.

Well, don't be surprised if a few games start posting i7-4770s and such as minimum system requirements in 3 years or so. :pt1cable:

With your budget the best option you have if you want to go Intel is the i5-4690K http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KPRWB9G. Though newer games are starting to utilize more cores, they are not required and probably won't be for quite some time.

Monty25 · Sep 5, 2014

tx for all the replies guys. guess i ll go with an i5 - 4690 + R9 290x while rest of the configs being same as listed by joe.
