Can anyone suggest the cheapest, best possible parts to run CoD: Advanced Warfare @ atleast 60 fps @ 1080p? Windows 8.1 included, No CD drive tho

Thanks!

Even a R7 260 would handle it, but if you can jump up to something like a 760 or 270(x)

Omg thanks for the effort guys. After showing him the specs he told me he wants to run every newer generation game smoothly, so I doubt a 750ti/270 will do the job
