New Gaming PC build

[Drastcreeper]

Hello again,

 

I have come up with an new PC build and need some extra help picking the graphics card/video card. My price budget for one is around £250 or dollars. I need one with 4GB of memory or higher and one what is known to be able to run new games like gta v and farcry 4 on max settings. I can always go for sli as well but I would prefer to have 1. If its better for me to have 2 graphics/video cards let me know but, don't really want to be spending no more than £320.

 

Thanks

 

I will leave my specifications for my future build. Please feel free to tell me if their is something whats better what is roughly around the same price.

Get the 970 for 1080p if you dont like 3.5gb memory go with the 290x OR you can wait a month or two for the new graphics cards

Get a Z97X Gaming 5 from Gigabyte instead, get a Cryorig H5 instead of the Hyper 212 EVO and you don't need Arctic Silver 5 (since it's overrated anyways and won't give a huge performance difference in terms of TIM) or 16GB RAM for gaming.

 

A good GPU? An R9 290, R9 290X or GTX 970 should fall into that budget and all of them will basically max out GTA V, as for Far Cry 4 I don't know.

He used PCPP, but he didn't use BBCode. OP, next time, use BBCode.

Get windows 8 it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

I think you could overclock a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 if that fits in the Graphite 760T. But I really don't think you can MAX OUT GTA V. But you sure can make it look good by manually tinkering with the settings.

P.S- I have a STRIX 970, I am talking from personal experience.

It's giving me issues. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/360953-my-booting-takes-a-lot-of-time-even-thought-all-my-stuff-is-on-my-ssd/

But yeah, it's a good OS for productivity. Or heck just upgrade to Windows 10 before installing anything. It's still not for retail but it's a free update by Microsoft.

What is BBCode?? Sorry

[Drastcreeper]

320 pounds might get you one GTX 970, which can not max out GTA V, I think your requirements are too high

What do you mean by my requirements are too high??

[TheSLSAMG]

On PCPartPicker, there's a button that says "[bb]". That's BBCode. The forum can properly read the BBCode and make a clean post out of it.

Do you know a graphics card which can max out gta V and what I mean by "maxing out" is basically to have all the graphics on as high as they can go and run the game smoothly. But turning off Vsync and other unnecessary things.

Read this benchmark of GTA V to answer your question

Thanks Guys, 

 

i think I have finally wrapped it up with a lot of research and have decided to go with 970 SLI as it is getting around 104 FPS on max setting at most games whilst running at 1080p. Where as the GTX 980 is running at around 60 FPS.

 

I really appreciated your help.

 

Thanks again:)

Have you bought any parts yet ? If not don't get the EVGA NEX psu. Swap it for the G2.
