New gaming pc

[lolgame123]

Hi, I'm planning to build a gaming pc but, since I don't know much about what parts I should choose, I would appreciate your help. My budget is around 800$ and if possible I would like it to be able to run The witcher 3 on ultra settings with hairworks on in full hd with 40-50 fps.

1 - you CANNOT play Witcher 3 on Ultra with HW at those frames with anything less than a 980 and the 980 alone costs 400-500$.

The 960 is HORRIBLE value for that price considering a 170$ 380 outperforms it by over 15%. EVGA G2 also have iffy voltage during brownouts and can potentially damage components

I dont recommend the GTX 960 either but if you can stretch your budget a bit more then maybe a GTX 970 (the arguably best price/performance GPU atm) or wait until 10th june to see if the 1070 is as good as said. If not then I would say go for a r9 390 or something like that. Otherwise that looks like a good build.

The issue with the 970 is the total lack of a compute engine resulting in it being slaughtered under DX12. Check Hitman or Ashes - 970 is now sometime slower than a 380X in those games

Thanks! I just wanna ask if I could go get the similar performance with fx8320e and sapphire r9 380x 4gb

No. The 390 is around 30-40% above a 380X. The i5 4460 is superior to the 8320E in games.

You'd be a lot better off with what @don_svetlio suggested.

That PSU is likely to burn down his house. Elite series are tier 7 - the LOWEST possible.

Biostar? ....

#1) Will change that

#2) BioStar because it matches the color scheme. Will change that aswell.
