$1000-1200 gaming build

brutalShot · Jul 30, 2015

I'm looking to create a build that can run battlefield 4, skyrim modded, possibly gta V, the witcher 3, and most every newly released games at maxed at 60F and at 1080p. Plus being able to stream would be nice. I have no preference over amd or Intel and I'm looking for a rig that I can add onto in the years to come

Do you plan to overclock? And do you need a monitor, operating system, keyboard etc?

brutalShot · Jul 30, 2015

No im not planning on over clocking but it would be nice to be able to, but I would imagine that would increase the amounts of cooling needed? And I'm not in need of a monitor, mouse or keyboard. But yes I should have mentioned a operating system, have u an opinion on windows 10 or the steam OS, I would prefer not to have windows 8

-Change OS to whatever you like.
-Anything over GTX 970 is overkill for 1080P.

Ok thanks again for the other builds guys. If it's not to much to ask does anyone have their input dual graphics card configurations?

Jeff Baffalo · Jul 31, 2015

brutalShot :

having multiple graphics cards have a lot of pros and cons. The main pros are that it looks much cooler, and it adds to performance. The cons are that it will dissipate more heat, consume more power, and it might have some compatibility issues. Some people with dual graphics card setups have gotten screen tearing and sometimes no increase in performance at all, some games are just not compatible with dual gpu solutions. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BUY ONE POWERFUL CARD, than two mid-low range cards in a dual gpu configuration.
