hey guys,

this is my first gaming PC, and i can only get a mini one, also i am on a budget of like £370 and i was wondering which PC will run bf4 best.

i want to play on like medium settings or so.

here are my 2 builds:

and

are they good enough, if not what to change???

also, what does this mean: Some Intel H61 chip-set motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge CPU's.?? how to fix it?[/i]

thanks guys

sorry about not answering the previous questions, i used to own that gpu and would get about 60 fps on mid settings so that should be fine, bf4 dosent need a great cpu its more a gpu and ram based game so i would recommend maybe getting dual sticks of ram (2x4gb) instead of the single ram stick

as for the BIOS issue then i would choose a different motherboard to be safe for example

just to avoid any problems but if you do go with that motherboard then a simple bios update should fix any issues

Thanks for the quick responses man, helps a lot. I'll probably change the ram to 2 sticks and as for the mono iI think I'll just do the update because that one doesn't fit in my case :(
