Will this run to my expectations?

Spoon1 · Mar 29, 2015

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6rmBJx Planning on building this PC to play Arma 3 or 2 , BF4, GTA, War Thunder, ETC. I plan to get at-least FPS that is playable. I don't want to go over 600 dollars, Like to stay under 600.... I want it to be reliable companies and not the cheap hardware.... I'm only wiry/ unsure of my motherboard and my case... So if someone can help me with that please do so, also if you have any other comments please say so. I plan on keeping that GPU on there so not worth it to say to change it.

Change the psu to XFX 550w, maybe get the Pentium G3258 and use the spare money for a better graphics card like the r9 280x or r9 290.

DzOnIxD :

i dont see why, like it seems pretty goood just unsure of motherboard and case

DzOnIxD · Mar 29, 2015

I just wanna help you get more fps in games for the same money, the mobo is decent and the case is okay, but you have to change the psu, and I suggested better parts for the money.

Wow, I am blown away by this!

I'm with Dz on this.

Take a look at this and you'll see why. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3258-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4460

Spoon1 · Mar 29, 2015

You need to stop spamming the forums with multiple threads. Create one and stick with it. Update it as necessary, but do NOT create multiple threads asking essentially the same question.

DzOnIxD :

So will this run to my expectaiton? i'm not looking to overclock because it can ware your PC, but the one you just sent me how will that do on arma?

bembene · Mar 30, 2015

arma 3 multiplayer runs on my i5 4460 and gtx 970 with about 45fps. Reports from other users say, u need an i7 to run this game at ultra with 60fps+. It s very cpu intensive.
Howmuch fps u want?

Spoon1 · Mar 30, 2015

bembene :

I want do able FPS, like FPS that doesnt hurt my eyes. And graphic settings that are around high or medium 720p will this setup you think do that? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rqGwZL

bembene · Mar 30, 2015

Spoon1 :

720p I never tried, it hurts my eyes. I played in 1920x1080.
Yes I think your setup is good. CPU is better than mine, GPU one model under mine. Multiplayer I don t think u can reach 60fps+ all time, especially in cities it can be hard. Normally I want 60fps all time but in this game 45fps feel good. No major lag or mouse lag, just feeld little slow sometimes. On 720p I guess U should be 60+ fps all time but I wouldn t put my hand in the fire for this.

bembene · Mar 30, 2015

oh btw when in multiplayer I changed mysettings to ultra - high - low , but I had all the same fps (+/- 5fps max difference)

Spoon1 · Mar 30, 2015

bembene :

Alright thanks

I think i might buy it soon, just trying to make sure all the companies are reliable and the parts are reliable... Do you think my GPU will fit in my motherboard inside that case?

Spoon1 · Mar 30, 2015

bembene :

I meant to use this setup http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vTz9pg does this look good?

bembene · Mar 30, 2015

Spoon1 :

Oh man this question I can not answer. Post your pc parts list in this forum under "systems", there are all the pros. They know for sure if all fits togehther.
Yes I would also check reviews for gtx 960 first to see which is best card with low temperature and high overclock potential. U can get free 10% more power from a gtx 960 in the future when u need it. Also I don t know if 960 ´s have coil whine problems like the 970 ´s, so I would also check which are better with this problem.
I m very pleased with my 970. I read 1 week all reviews I can find and I guess I got lucky. I have 0 coil whine and max temp is 64 degrees.
Good luck

bembene · Mar 30, 2015

Spoon1 :

it s same cpu than I have, but me personally would pay the 50bucks extra for the 960. Also u get atm witcher 3 for free with the 960. If u sell it for 30bucks it s only 20 more for the 960.I definitly would do that

Matt Dobe · Mar 30, 2015

Change that PSU... the builders series is not meant for serious gaming and you can get a much better Seasonic made XFX PSU for same price -

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Other than that it is a nice rig, you might not be able to turn the eye candy up as far as a r9 280x (video card) but the stronger i5 processor will help with some titles (mainly BF4 multiplayer, the dual core G3258 has been known to struggle with it).

Will this run to my expectations?
