will this run far cry 4, gta 5, watch dogs, dayz and many more on ultra?

This is my first pc build and I was wondering if it will run all games on ultra?

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

Yeah, it should. For 1000 dollars, you could go with an intel cpu, tho. It would perform way better in far cry 4.

anoori9000 · Jan 10, 2015

Good build, but I think I can make it better. Hold on a few moments.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

Something like this would do better and would allow you to sli in the future.

If you don't want to sli, I can do it about 40 dollars cheaper.

ingtar33 · Jan 10, 2015

ahh... if you plan to overclock? it will manage with some of those games.

-farcry4 is a studderfest on any pc, with some patches it might run well
-dayz doesn't run well on AMD cpus... you need an overclocked intel for it
-watchdogs doesn't run well on ANYTHING, especially Nvidia gpus so i'm not sure what type of experience you'll get with it, they might have fixed this issue with a patch, but i haven't seen any mention of it. the cpu should be fine but i'm not sure about the gpu (that is a platform issue, for some reason, though it's an nvidia gameworks title, it runs worse on nvidia gpus, don't know what to tell you).

Zerk2012 · Jan 10, 2015

It will run everything just fine although I would switch to a Intel i5 for better performance.
Buy a better power supply the one you picked is garbage the B1 series are junk.

That build looked decent till I seen the cheap memory 11 timings and the CX power supply is junk.

bobdole776 · Jan 10, 2015

Just a suggestion for thermal compound. I've tried many over the years and the Arctic MX-4 gets the lowest temps of any thermal paste out there. It also has a near instant cure time.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

A CX 750w is more than capable of handling a system that produces like 300w. I would have gotten a seasonic 620 but it can't handle a future sli. And what is wrong with cheap memory? Ram hardly ever affects gaming performance.

Zerk2012 · Jan 10, 2015

Demosthenest :

Better memory for the same price why buy the crap with 11 timings. http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=44267&vpn=F3%2D12800CL9D%2D8GBRL&manufacture=G%2ESkill&promoid=1413
For the power supply it not the Watts that is in question but the very low quality and high fail rate of the junk CX series.
Buy a good power supply the first time.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

zerk, that psu is good but the wattage would be to tight to go sli.

bignastyid · Jan 10, 2015

Demosthenest :

At least till its cheap caps pop in about a year. The EVGA 750w B2 is only $5 more and its a far superior unit.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr
The slower ram will affect gaming but the difference will only be a couple of fps, but considering the good stuff costs about the same might as well get the free performance boost.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

bignastyid, you are right the evga is better and you are right I should've got better ram for the same price. I, however, don't think the CX 750 is as bad as you say it is.

bignastyid · Jan 10, 2015

Demosthenest :

I have personally seen too many failures to ever recommend these units. I bought 5 for lower powered budget builds builds 4 failed and the 5th got shelved. A friend of mine is on his 3rd 750w CXM unit in 2 years. Seen a dozen or so go through a buddy's shop, aswell as the multiple failures I have seen on these forums. Most of the other experts on this site agree they should be avoided. The only good thing I can say if for all the failures i have yet to see one fry hardware, so atleast the protection circuits are good.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

I had no idea. I've got a couple friends with CX750s and none of them has had any problem with them. I guess I'll stop recommending them.

anoori9000 · Jan 10, 2015

Demosthenest :

They work fine, yes, but they are not god PSUs. You would think "Oh it's corsair it must be good", but that is not the case.

EVGA (current ones, not the best, but alright)
XFX
Seasonic
and Rosewill Capstones are all good ones.

Demosthenest · Jan 10, 2015

What about antec hcg line? are they seasonic?

bignastyid · Jan 10, 2015

anoori9000 :

With EVGA the original series(b1, g1) aren't that good but the current series(B2, G2, and P2) are all great units made by Super Flower.

thechosenwolf24 · Jan 10, 2015

Okay, so I want to keep the case I have at the moment but you can redo the build if you want. The only thing I want to keep is the ram, the hdd, the gpu and the case

thechosenwolf24 · Jan 10, 2015

thechosenwolf, are you going to be overclocking? Because k processors are more expensive and requiere a cpu cooler if overclocked.
That cpu is good but i5 4690k is better for the money.

bignastyid · Jan 10, 2015

thechosenwolf24 :

For gaming the 4770 is overkill and to expensive. The 4690k is considered by most the sweetspot for gaming cpu's.

will this run far cry 4, gta 5, watch dogs, dayz and many more on ultra?
