It does not who did you hear this from maybe to run ultra 

People have run it with a iGPU and a R7250 

No they had 980 and i7 but still not 60FPS...

 

Arma 3 does not need a i7 or better,who told you this,you dont need to be maxing out fps on ultra,i have arma 3 on a shitty ass hp(some intel quad core 2.6 ghz and a gtx 750(bottlenecks a lot)and i can run it on standard at 25 fps.not here to cause stuff,just to show you you don't need a i7 for arma 3.

980 and i7 but still not 60FPS I think a i5 or lower is doomed then... (not even near 60 for sure...)

THe iGPu and 67 ran 40Fps with Stander and high shadows

I have changed my goal and budget I want this for gaming and streaming budget is 1200 I am water Cooling

I may buy Mod cables from ncix 

I plane on Crossfire later that's why the PSU is 750

You can get a 380 4GB and then slap in 1 more later!

Went slightly over budget but worth it.

so you did go for an 8350? Interesting choice looks like a good build but now that you are going with a higher budget, have you considered intel CPUs?

You're spending that much and going for an AMD? Okay...

Honestly, for gaming, something like an i5-4690K blows the FX-8350 out of the water. This is because, per core, Intel's are much faster. And I'm not talking about clock speed, because AMD's do overclock well, I'm talking more instructions per cycle. The i5 will have much better single threaded performance even at a much lower clock speed. Also, 8 cores aren't needed for most video games. Most don't use more than 4 threads, so getting any more purely for gaming is a waste.

Get an Intel i5 and thank us later. Going from an FX-6300 with a minor overclock to an i5-4690K (at stock, and still is at stock) I saw a MASSIVE difference in the games I played. Everything was smoother, my minimum and average framerates were higher and stuttering was pretty much eliminated.

Also, is that 60GB for the OS? If it is, then you'll find that 60GB isn't really enough when you take into account the registry and constant Windows updates. I'd say 120GB minimum.

I'm also not very familar with Canadian pricing, but if you can, I'd say stretch the budget and go for an R9 390.

Going for Streaming/Editing and Gaming now

Also Running Linux Ubuntu only needs 60 at most

You want to game on a Linux rig?

Good luck

Linux runs some games better then windows most Valve Games do

A Intel Xeon cpu would be a better choice if you don't want to overclock. Spending $1500 on an AMD based system is just insane.

I am Overclocking why do you think I am water cooling

[Guest]

No Intel and do not ask for me to overclock this I am too new

Bit of a contradiction ?
