Okay, so I am going to switch to PC gaming because I really don't like the next gen consoles and everyone says PC is better and has better graphics. It looks fun but I want to know some builds that can possibly run about every game that comes out in the next year I guess on some good settings. My budget is $800 . it'd be awesome if you could add in a good 1080p monitor somehow.

It's nice knowing that people have seen the light A build for that price (inc. monitor) will run future games very well, you won't be disappointed. Here's a build for $800 + your monitor.

Total: $794.91

Thanks but for the video card which I'm is the Gigabyte R9 270X or the FX 6300, I saw in the battlefield 4 requirements it would be good to have a Radeon 7000 series, I think. Which is $250 could I just pay the extra $50 would it make a big difference? Because if it does I don't mind

ItsMichael basically hit the nail on the head man.

What i would change is 2 things, the PSU and Motherboard.

What I'd recommend.


  • Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
  • OCZ ZS 550 or XFX 550 Pro Power Supply


Other than that, the 270X will max Battlefield 4, I know because i own the 270X. I average around 55 - 60FPS on Ultra @ 1080p.

I hate to inform you that both the motherboard and PSU I suggested are better than either of those. That motherboard especially belongs in a much lower budget build.

OP, the R9 series cards are all rebranded Radeon 7000 cards, the R9 270X is a rebranded 7870 with somewhat better performance.

Well, that is personal preference. The 78LMT-USB3 is the perfect motherboard for AMY AM3+ chip that isn't going to be overclocked. Ask anyone. Also I would never recommend ANY EVGA PSU over a top brand like OCZ or XFX. As XFX use Seasonic units and holds a 5 year warranty.

EVGA are a brand i DON'T trust for PSU's. They may be 80+ Bronze, but so are some Enermax PSU's, and you wouldn't trust them to run your hardware would you.
