Here is a build u put togather what do you guys think im just gonna get a 1080 or 1440 monitor and run high fps http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

Mitch_Wins · Dec 27, 2014

Hmm, well that is just a graphics card not a full build but if you want to use the Asus GTX 970 you'll get high frame rate on 1080p the higher you want to go in resolution the less FPS your going to have.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

The whole build didnt come up i thought it was an ok build being at like 1700 dollars

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Is there anything else i should get or spend less on that i can upgrade later let me know

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

The build isn't being listed in that link, make a account and save the build, it will give you a perma link that you can use to show people the build.

Here is a build I made for a friend: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qsdtHx

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Soo that build is a top tier build correct amd should be able to run 1080p at high fps

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

EDIT: Misread your post, but yes, the build I listed should easily be capable of getting 60 FPS at 1080p on just about anything. Cant guarantee it, but its just about top tier as far as hardware goes.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Well what else would be needed to run over 100fps or is that not really important at all

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

It totally depends on the game and the monitor your going to be using. If you have a display that has 60hz refresh rate your going to benefit from a max of about 60 FPS weather its getting higher or not.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Well if i had a higher fps monitor whats the max it could run

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

There's no way to give a answer to that question, everything depends on what game your playing, what hardware the game is optimized for. For instance you could probably get 350+ FPS on minecraft, but only get 60-90 on battlefield. There's just no way of saying for certain without actually playing with the PC.

That being said, with a lower end PC then what i showed you i get about 70 FPS in Assasians creed unity, 90 FPS in Dragon age Inquisition, and 120 FPS in Total war Shogun 2.

Thats the best I can give you in terms of prediction on how well it will do FPS wise.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Okk thanks i know looking around that 1500 to 2k is a higher end build have you done any overclocking on your build

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

No, for me overclocking has never been necessary, and thats on a worse computer than what I linked for you.

Have you ever put a PC together by the way?

But back to your question, I do not recommend overclocking to first time builders, its a fairly precise process, and you can screw something up if your not careful. Over clocking can be a great way to get some extra FPS and performance out of your components, but I wouldn't do it unless you feel like your game play is suffering and it may help.

IF you decide to try overclocking, I'd definately do a lot of research and tutorial watching before you try it.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

I have not put togather a computer before but i have a friend at work who is an electrical engineer amd he is gonna help me so im sure he can overclock for me and probably other things as well

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

Thats good, try to watch him do the stuff if possible, its a lot more simple than it seems, but I'd definately leave the overclocking to him and make sure to pay attention to your computer heat as you play.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Okk cool yeah im sure he can do alot of things i dont even know about haha

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

Why 980? SLI 970.

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mytnikderek12/saved/3Kw8TW. Changed a lil bit can you see it now

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

I have not built anything but from what i have read its best to get the best single gpu that you can afford as the more you out into sli you start having problems with tearing and funky things

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

You guys can't build high end builds jk

derekmytnik12 · Dec 27, 2014

Well im all ears send a link of what you would do with 1500 or so

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

I do not recommend SLI or crossfire, theres a lot of issues with games when running SLI and crossfire, especially for a beginner.

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

True. But It kills the gtx 970.

Bhavneet Pannu · Dec 27, 2014

If I had $1 500. I would spend $750 on a gaming pc and the rest to 1. Bring a Random cat owner (me) to dinner (AKA Keep the money). $750 should be able to play most games on ultra 60fps.

TheBlackPumpkin · Dec 27, 2014

True, but he asked for a killer build so that's what I provided, I'm running about 750 on components, but I spent about 1800 due to a new monitor, and other peripherals.

Assuming that he's not strapped for cash, and by the sound of it hes not, he's better off going for a better build because it will last longer no?
