GPU upgrade question
So I'm trying to max out my monitor in bf4, my current build:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FatMoo5/saved/TBTzK8


Cpu overclocked to 4GHz atm

I was thinking of upgrading to a asus strix gtx 970 and yes I am aware of the bottleneck that my cpu will most likely do. I plan on adventually upgrading to the Intel i7 4790k but slowly upgrading. Would I get over 120fps on high in bf4 or no with my current cpu.

Ofcourse I'm just assuming that those arent issues. But taking the game as a whole he can do just fine with 1 side of it. The other side of the game I think there is some work to be done. If he wants to upgrade I dont think that would be a bad idea.

while playing online games the FPS depends on the internet connection and the server.

Well that eliminates quite a bit of fun atleast for me it does. It seems he wants to max it as much as possible. Realistically in Single Player as that article was pointing out it would be fine. But joining with a bunch of people it's going to kick his CPUs butt. A CPU upgrade would probably be advised.

Easy solution to having probs on big servers while maxed...Don't max it or don't go in big servers :D

^^ was that multiplayer?

This sounds like the same argument I was reading about the G3258 on BF4 a couple weeks ago.

I may be wrong but I think he's going to have problems on big servers trying to max out the game.

I'm kinda wondering why you chose water cooling for that build? it's only a mid ranged gaming rig.

No. I doubt you can get over 70 or 80 fps with your current CPU, although it will play on Ultra with no lag or dips at 50-60fps
