PC build under 600$ to play Cod Black Ops 3, possible?

RenzoTR · Nov 4, 2015

Hello, I want to buy a computer to play Call of Duty Black Ops 3, I have a budget of 600$, is it possible to build a pc to play it at 60fps, or is it impossible??

DonkeyOatie · Nov 4, 2015

It 's possible. What resolution and AA and effect do you expect? You can have high FPS at the sacrifice of other things. Do you have any parts at all, or do you require everything and can you confirm that you mean US dollars?

RenzoTR :

Hey Friend, does your 600.00 budget need to pay for the OS/Monitor/Peripherals (mouse/keyboard) as well?

$600 for everything is near impossible for a system you'll want to keep for the next few years. I've always encouraged folks to save more for a system that will give them a good runway of use.

the game is 2 days behind release i would wait to see benchmarks on how the game performs before building a pc
but a nice 700$ pc :

Note: try to get the graphics card l8r if you think that you cant go 700$ , i don't think you should sacrifice something like the processor or motherboard if your 100$ short, if you dont want to do this get a Gtx 950 instead.

I would not recommend many of the parts in that system for this use, and what about OS, keyboard, mouse, ODD, and monitor?

Xtergo · Nov 4, 2015

I don't think he mentioned keyboard mouse monitor ect anywhere if i missed that my bad so what you don't recommend ?

i think its the psu a better psu can be obtained i am not that experenced in psus

DonkeyOatie · Nov 4, 2015

It's true the OP did not mention them, but an OS is almost mandatory. That's why I asked about parts. I'm waiting until I get a response from the OP

Xtergo · Nov 4, 2015

i am confused r u waiting for me or the op ?

I can cut it back to $600, but I would not really want to.

Xtergo :

I must say that is one oddly stupid build. $600 he is not getting a OC CPU so save money there, if he is not OC skip the CPU aftermarket cooler, he can get a cheaper MOBO when he skips OC, the GTX 960 is not fast enough to handle 4gig of vram, and that PSU is not the best. I don't recommend this build at all for this budget.

I would say give him either a solid CPU or a solid GPU so that he doesnt have to upgrade both in 2 years. I would pair an i3 and a GTX 970 with the though of upgrading in a year or 2.

And you would get that in a near-$600 budget how?

My friend built a system like that. I will give you the link as soon as pcpartpicker works for me.

Xtergo · Nov 4, 2015

I don't think its worth to make build and argue until the op shows up and describes more precisely about what he needs

Iamsoda · Nov 4, 2015

Xtergo :

That is why I didn't make a build yet.

RenzoTR · Nov 4, 2015

I just need the actual PC, I can get the OS here in my country but specific parts are way to expensive, I have the monitor, keyboard, mouse,etc, I only need the pc itself

DonkeyOatie · Nov 4, 2015

So, what's your budget in local currency?
