New Rig primarily for Gaming

[riposte2988]

Hi Computer Gods,

Am looking to buy a pc to run Titanfall & Bf4 smoothly.

Starting from scratch, need everything.

Anyone here can do assembly as well?

Lets take BF4 as an example, whats the difference running BF4 on a $1k pc VS a $1.8k pc?

Thanks!

1k if you need everything might as well buy ps3 2nd hand and play bf4.

1.8k would be good for ultra settings.

1k is really tight if u wan to run it in 1080p including monitor and OS

i3-3220 + Asrock b75m dgs ~ $199
Crucial 8gb ddr3 ~ $90
Wd blue 500gb ~ $62
Powercolor 270 ~ $245
Samsung oem drive ~ $21
CM 311 + Fsp hexa 500 ~ $105
Win7 64 oem ~ $115

$1057 buy and DIY @ tradepac ask for discount , the above system will run bf4 on high settings smoothly but if u intend to play at ultra smoothly u are better off to invest in better system. A i5 with a 280x or 290 will be good , or a gtx770 if u preferred nidvia
