$1000 some PC

[Drew581]

I am building this pc so far, I have this just about built I will explain the best I can. I have the processor, motherboard, GPU, CPU cooler, and the hard drive but that is interchangeable. Any suggestions on what to change? I live in the US and near a Micro Center. I plan on gaming in intensive games like Battlefield 4 and Far Cry 4. ( I am looking to play on highest settings 1080p) To explain why I have that GPU, I have it as I had a old prebuilt pc from HP and I slap a graphics card in there and it solved my problems playing Minecraft and things like that. So what would you have changed and what would benefit me in the items I have not bought? What alternative GPU could I get for around $150-$200?

I don't think you'll be getting 1080p ultra at 150-200...

 

Maybe R9 270x?  I'd wait for 960/950ti if I were you

I should also include that I will have 2 monitors one 1080p and one 1440 by 900. I have all peripherals. I want to record videos with a friend of my and stream videos on twitch. Using Adobe photoshop and Sony Vegas, and other programs of that sort.

Oh yeah probably important to post parts. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qDfhTW

You have a $210 motherboard, a $320 CPU, 16GB RAM, an $85 watercooler, and want to put in a $150 video card? I mean what the fuck?  :lol:

[Drew581]

I know I mean is there anything like that?

In gaming systems the GPU is bar none, the most important component.

 

Get a less expensive ssd. In gaming the performance differential will not be notiecable. Get a decent, but less expensive case. Get a better size modular psu. This gets you very close to a GTX 970 within the budget.
