Next Gen Gaming PC

[Garden_Phantom]

I'm building a PC for the next generation of PC games. Going to be playing battlefield 4 at 1080p.

Will this configuration play bf4 @ high 40fps? Also will it play minecraft with shaders mod @ max 40fps?

Thanks in advance for the help :-D

None of us have any idea how it'll run on Battlefield 4. Surely it'll run Minecraft fine, though, considering how you can increase your frame rate by 40 quite easily:

m8 im gunna help you right now. get rid of that 8150 and use a 8320, save yourslef 60 bucks and get 15% better performance. Use that extra money towards a 7950 instead. Also get windows 8 for better performance when you game, and you can always download the start bar if that;s the thing turning you off about it.

It's a little more expensive but you get a better CPU and a WAY better PSU. A bad PSU means a bad build. It could catch on fire or blow up and take your build with it.

Feel so sorry for you with those prices.

Yeah the prices in nz are crazy, even though our currency isn't that terrible. Anyway thanks for the help, I might take out the CPU cooler to keep the cost down and buy one when I need to overclock.
