I have made a partslist for 1440p gaming for a friend but his budget is $1300 and the parts list cost around $1450, please tell me how I could improve the partslist and get the cost down. Here is the parts list. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mullen/saved/#view=qc9dnQ

Yours Sincerely,

The Beast,

Sean Mullen

No, lies, 390X is worse then the 980. The Fury competes with the 980, the 390X is between the 970 and 980

Might want to want pascal. 1440 is still very difficult to run.

does your bud already have the monitor? 1080p is much easier to run :)

Yes at ultra, BF4 is VERY well optimized. I have no problem running at a mix of high/ultra 60+ fps on my 290 at 4k. 

That being said, it shouldn't be a testament to whether or not something will do well at a certain resolution. The game is two years old...
