So all i want from this build is a smooth 60 fps (or above) 1080p experience on games like bf4.
CPU: Intel i7 4790k
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX780 Twin Frozr Gaming Edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3
RAM: Crucial BallistixSport 16 GB 1600Mhz
Power Supply: Cooler Master GM 750W
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Black
If you haven't already bought it, geta n i5 4690k because the i7's are simply overkill for gaming.
But isnt it better to have i7 for future games?
Man, I can promise you 3 years of ultra gaming with an i5. ANd another 3 years on high. Cpu's do not age quickly. I still use an agin q6600 from 2006 which is 8 years old and it can run bf4 quite well on med-high when paired with a good gpu. The 100 bucks saved can get you a better gpu which is more important for gaming and ages quickly. Otherwise, if you want to feel more secure get a Xeon http://www.microcenter.com/product/428570/E3-1240_v3_34GHz_Server_Processor. It promises i7 performance at 50 bucks lower. Has HT and you can still put the 50 bucks on a better gpu. But you won't be having an integrated gpu which you anyhow dont need.
