What is the most effecient PC build for folding under $1000?

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

If u are willing to go up to the thousand mark you could switch the a8 for a 4690k or something similiar, and that would be a beast gaming rig aswellw

Is the dual R9 290 build better than a single 980?

FYI - you asked about a Folding rig - hence that build. If you want a BF4 gaming rig, that can also Fold, that is a different story altogether.

 

Purpose built Folding rigs are VERY purpose built. :)

 

For gaming, go with one r2 290 and then get a decent board and a nice core i5 chip.
