My budget is $1000 i want something that BF4 ARMA 3 RED ORCHESTRA BORDERLANDS 2 at 60fps so if you have any advice or a build it would be most appreicative

More about : gaming build

September 16, 2014 8:58:35 PM

Fool, no one runs Arma 3 at 60fps.

Seriously though, here's some food for though as I know someone is going to post a part list anyway;
Is this gaming only? Or are you a pro video editor on the side?
Using a 1080p monitor yes or no?
Any preferences of CPU/GPU manufacturer?
Any plans to crossfire/SLI?

And of course, everyone else that is going to post a part list is going to say wait for the 900 series... Right?

I do not recommend Asrock at all. They are cheap boards IMO. I personally like Asus above all (such as the Maximus VII Hero).

I can toss something together later today and see what you think, that is unles someone posts a build I think is good as well.

Ehh... ASRock is kinda of a hit-and-miss. They will work, however, there could be a higher chance of instability, if you plan on overclocking. They are cheap, but not necessarily recommended for high-end gaming rigs. Asus and Gigabyte do well on that part, while ASRock and MSi are great for mid/low-end gaming rigs and office PCs.

you don't need to 2500$ to play games ! just 1500$ will be enough at 1080p to get high frame rate see my next build if you convinced at 1500$ build

the asus MB's at low-end is not very good choice and I recommend Asus MB's at any of my High-end Builds so he'll do fine with ASRock MB see the reviews of that MB and judge on it not hating all the company MB's and at last --(Budget determines us)-- :D

Forgot this on my build post.

Dont fire the trigger just yet, as Nvidia is announcing their 900 series cards on Friday. Be sure to check those out and see if they are any better than say a 780 Ti.

I personally like Nvidia more than AMD, so thats why I included the 780 Ti on the build. Its my opinion, and everyone has their own. Depends on what you prefer, but since you did not mention specifics I went for what I know is good.

2500 dollar build and only 8gb of RAM? And you say 'bruh'...

The 840 Pro SSD is faster than the Evo.
Hybrid Seagate is a fusion style drive that combines SSD type speeds with HDD storage. Not the whole story, but thats it in a nutshell.
1000w PSU is just overkill, but maybe not with the 295x2
Liquid cooling is a touchy subject. I prefer air cooling, which is why I chose the Noctua. Almost positive the Noctua is the most popular/best air cooler right now.

+1
I'm with you in all your points and you R amazing in every point and I won't disturb you again (I've finished my opinion's here) but as you said every one have opinion so (if you don't mind :)  ) ....

I don't like this phrase "I personally like Nvidia more than AMD" I prefere to but the best at selected budget .

I'm with you in waiting for GTX 9xx series that will be more than good but I'm sure that any new cards will be more powerful than 295x2 at that price or less .

if you disturbed about that 8GB ram's just add 1 more kit we still at the budget man! ;) 

840 pro is not just faster but it is MLC instead of SLC but the EVO is pretty good and the difference is not huge so Evo is good choice with less price .

Hybrid vs HDD is known but we have SSD so we will not get much performance we need ! so HDD will do fine .

1000W PSU is recommended for 295x2 to be at safe area and it's better for future .

liquid cooling is better performance at OC and it's better at any load state you will put cpu in .

we R all friends at all don't forget that ;)

No worries mate, it's not a proper forum without different opinions. The phrase I used is literal, I'm just saying I lika Nvidia over AMD. I get this build has a budget, but I wasn't even referring to that. Hybrid drive will still get you better performance than a regular HDD would. I figured that was the case with the 1000w PSU. I know liquid cooling is better with OCing but you don't know if he wants to, plus many people feel safer with air cooling (many a horror story about liquid cooling).

Going back to my beginning bit, it's a lot more fun to give evidence on why certain things are how they are, rather than everyone taking it at face value, ya know? It's almost like a debate. So I encourage anyone to post their thoughts as this is a discussion forum.
