How good is this PC for games such as Cities: Skylines, Battlefront, and Just Cause 3?

[TheScottishArcher]

The Compatibility issue is fine, I couldn't find my exact case model

[noisebomb44]

idk how the cpu will do in skylines, ive heard a lot of bad things about AMD fx, it should run fine on the other games though

I dont see why you would buy win 7 ultimate

Not sure if Hitachi Ultrastar makes good harddrives, i would stick to something more traditional

 

i rate it: 8.47/10

[Mr.Meerkat]

I would rate it nasty over-priced CPU cooler

That cpu was undercutting your gpu made a compromise cut the gpu to a 380 and made the cpu a 8350

AMD GPUs have issues with JC3. Stuttering and such.

5/7 Could do with a better CPU for skylines maybe. I'm not too sure though, I'm pretty sure that luke did testing on that.

Are u planning on OC that fx-4300? Otherwise go with a higher cpu, since that one will bottleneck the gpu. A fx-8320 will do just fine i guess.

 

Cities-Skylines does very well with amd cpus since it uses all the multithreating performance. Get a 6 or 8-core for that game.

You're going to have a major bottleneck with a $80 CPU and a 390. Also, are you seriously paying for an AV? there are free ones that beat AVG, I personaly use the built in windows one, and for a windows product key, they can be brought off of key resellers for really cheap

There are resons to pay for a AV, for example if you download a lot of torrents, or have valuable information on your PC, or if you dont know what you are doing

Here is a complete comparison if you are interested

Besides AV is cheap as dirt these days, the one he bought is a rip off though

[Arc_Jester]

It's unbalanced, you should atleast get a 6300 + the PSU is crap and why are you paying for AV and of all things AVG? I give it a 6/10

You spent way too much on the cooler. Do you really need 2 monitors?

No OS though. Although pcpartpicker didn't factor the price into the build

[noisebomb44]

how did they do in older tests?

[noisebomb44]

how did they do in older tests?

in 2011 dec (the last time they were tested in this test) they did 99.4% and shared first place with bitdefender

I have no idea why they were removed
