I am looking to build a computer to handle BF4 on high at at-least 30 FPS as average when it releases. This picture may help http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/10/battlefield-4-pc-requirements-revealed-time-to-gear-up. I would like the total cost, excluding windows OS, mouse/keyboard and monitors to be 600-700 dollars on tigerdirect.com excluding shipping too. I would appreciate help and recommendations that would make my computer better and more cost effective. I prefer amd based over intel and nvidia. Keep in mind that i am a n00b when it comes to computers so keep it simple for me :). Thanks

Possibility Specs parts :

M452-7952 ::MSI Radeon HD 7950 Video Card - 3GB, Overclocked

Hybrid hard drive 500gb ?

AMD 6-core processor (fx-6100 through fx-6350)


Other info if it matters :
I own two 1280 by 1024 monitors but usually only use one. Could I use two without a major fps drop and if how if it is possible without the drop

Also can a ps3 controller be used in BF3 or BF4. I know Xbox controllers can be in some steam games

Ok, so here is a build I configured for you that will definitely max bf4 out (1080p). Keep in mind that I used allot of different websites because you cannot buy all the parts you need from tigerdirect (especially at a good price). Also, you asked if you can use both of your monitors without having frame drops. The answer is yes since they are such low resolution monitors (1080p is standard nowadays and I'd highly recommend getting one for around $100, especially if you want to see "detail" in games). As for the ps3/xbox controller you should be able to use it just fine (if it does not work in some games then drop $10 for a mouse).

Hope some of this helped
