    Piggy reacted to TheGamingBarrel in Why 144Hz?   
    144 Hz is because that is what most 120Hz monitors overclocked to, and the 59Hz is for "60FPS" Content that is 59.94 FPS

    This is most likely what you'd be getting for an AMD build. Its less about raw power(which you can get by a cpu overclock if need be) and getting a bit more bells and whistles in exchange, while being pretty cheap, and having money left over for whatever else you'll need. It comes with the X4 860k, which isn't a bad quad core cpu. It comes with the brand new R9 270 R9 370, one in AMD's brand new line of gpus. You get an ssd for speedy boot up times, and for your game to load fast. There are cons like with everything in the world. My confidence about this running gta 1080 40-60 fps is a little 50/50, but I honestly can't see why. If you turn off the AA, and dial back the details a bit, you should be fine. Another down side is that at mITX, there are no AMD quad channel boards, so you might be a little limited with options ram upgrades, but it shouldn't be too bad. My final warning is the psu. PSUs that come with cases don't exactly have a good reputation, and with this build using about more than half of the psu's max voltage, I have no clue what its longivity will be, nor if it'll be that quiet or be that efficent, meaning your power bill might go up, but lets hope for the best.

    The good things about this build is simple. You should have 0 problems on trying to run GTA at 1080p 40-60 fps on this. Although, you give up a good bit of bells and whistles fior this. Addtionally, this build draws more power than the other, so the remark about the psu I made in the other build list stays. Addtionally, this build is a good deal more pricey. Feel free to change out the gpus in each to one you'll want, but the questionability of the psu would most likly still come into question. Hope this helps!

    HTPC can have big gpus. They usually don't becase they're not ment to play anyhting more heavy than pacman or watch youtube. And the consles don;t have the 6800k. Whoever feed you that marlarky is bullshiting you. Consles have a speacially designed 8 core apu by amd. Besides, the only reason the consle run those games at any res. or frame rate is because the develepors have to spend more time optimizting the game, so that it'll even run on the consle. Addtionally, the PC version is far more demanding. You try putting it on the consle, and it'll just fart shit back at you.
