Will This Setup Run Bf3 And Other Games On Ultra?

[spawnedlate]

I am building a computer and will these parts run most to all games on ultra espically Bf3 and Skyrim.

I am building it from scratch and have to do it within a $700 AUD

This is what i have so far:

Cpu= Intel i5 2500k
gpu= Gainward Nvidia Gtx 660
ram= 2x4 ddr3 ram
Hard drive= 250gb
psu= 600w Big ant
case= Coolermaster k280
motherboard= Asus P8H61-M-LX3 R2.0 Motherboard
cd rom= already have...

any advice will be great also this is my first time fully building a gaming pc from scratch...

yes the 660 will do 60fps on ultra in Skyrim and bf3 (but not on multiplayer)
Since you're gettin a K-series cpu, be sure to snag a decent cpu cooler. You are going to want to overclock that I'm sure!

 

[spawnedlate]

Thankyou
In regards to the Gtx 660 will it be able to handle multiplayer at an average of 50fps?
also do you know any good non water based coolers?

 

[iceclock]

it should mang, 45-50 should make sense, if it comes with a decent cooler prob lightly overclock it for more juice

 

[spawnedlate]

cool thanks guys for the help

 

[iceclock]

no problem anytime dude

 

[digitalmiget]

how much are you paying for your psu?

 

[spawnedlate]

I am paying $60 aud
buying of a close friend though

 

[digitalmiget]

i reckon you might want a better psu though cause sometimes cheap brands like that don't exactly deliver what they advertise

 

[iceclock]

that big ant ps sounds horribly, ull need something better quality to run a rig.

whats ur budget?

good stuff

ok thanx for all the help what will this run at gaming wise ultra?

 

[iceclock]

well most games on high+, dude. u gotta realise ur within a limited budget this builds better than ur previous build has a decent powersupply and better hd and case

 

[digitalmiget]

also it depends on what resolution you'll be running the games at, cause with 1280x1024 (avgerages 60+ fps)it should be fine, but with 1920x1080 or higher you might struggle with achieving ultra graphics with a decent fps rate

 

[digitalmiget]

also best you don't get the thermaltake power supply cause they are crap, best get a more trusted brand

 

[iceclock]

thats why i recommanded a silverstone ps

 

[spawnedlate]

ok...so best configuration possible for the money... How much more for ultra capabilitys?

 

[iceclock]

thats the best u can get for that budget, well ud need a step up in videocard so the gtx 660 is 235$ id say another 100$ or so for ultra imo depending on title.

I can extend my funds up to $800 AUD but ive soon Gainward gtx 660 ti's for $215 from my local computer shop

 

[iceclock]

than id get the rest of the system i suggested and get the gtx 660ti for 215 at ur shop

 

[spawnedlate]

ok cool so it will perform at medium to high settings on bf3 and skyrim?

 

[iceclock]

high+ and probably high to ultra on skyrim. bf3 is alot more taxing since its multiplayer and has alot of objects on the screen at the same time
