PC BUILD QUESTION....(specs)

[Van Der Shah]

Hey Guys!

 

These are my specs :

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2hB6b

 

I plan to play BF4 on ultra about 60fps. (1980X1080) I also want to do some video editing on Vegas Pro. So, for video editing would you recommend another Processor.

 

Also, could you guys recommend me a monitor around 21' for around $130.

 

Btw, I'm on a tight budget. Thanks

[FloRolf]

i guess your on a 800$ budget? seems good to me

 

Edit: But you could cheap out on the 8350 and get a 8320 aswell as just 1600mhz ram and maybe get a better mobo

[DarrenP]

If i were you i would get the CX600 if possible. You can find it on sale for the same price. I feel you're cutting it to close on power. 

[flibberdipper]

Try to find a 7870 for cheaper than that, since I think that it's the same as the 280x.

[helping]

Cut ram budget, get an 8320, and buy a motherboard that isn't going to blow up with that chip. 

 

oh and get rid of that AIO

[WoodenMarker]

No case?

What's your total budget?

[Van Der Shah]

oh and get rid of that AIO

Could you recommend one that doesn't break the bank ?

[L_Dub]

The monitor that i have is a 21" Acer, its a TN but the color is suprisingly good with great light. 

The exact name is 

Acer S220HQLAbd

 

Its a 21.5 and not bad for the price, its also $50 off atm on newegg

[Joshyy]

The 280x won't ultra BF4 atm at 60FPS, my 290 barely manages it at 1080P with AA at 2x, this will probably change with mantle. 

[flibberdipper]

Tadaaaaaaa!!

better motherboard, if your on a budget just get a cheap HSF like a hyper 212 evo,  Theres no point in watercooling the 8350 on an msi 970 g43.

Well r9 280x is a bit better

[kizoku_95]

Should i consider Crossfire in the future?

Yes, but not with that PSU though!

Might wanna have a beefier PSU for crossfire.

That's a "huge" downgrade, 280x != 7870, it's actuallty a 7970 (maybe even GHz ed).

[flibberdipper]

I don't see why not.

Oh. Whoopsies.

[flibberdipper]

The GTX 770 is faster in everything but the bandwidth. Try to find one of those for the same price.

Would it be better to put a Cooler Master Seidon 120M because I was planning to do that

[TheSLSAMG]

The Seidon 120M will perform as well as the Hyper 212 EVO, but the Seidon is a waste of money unless you go for a 240M.

I will be OC the CPU my. My budget is $800

[TheSLSAMG]

I will be OC the CPU my. My budget is $800

For overclocking, the EVO is sufficient. My 3570K ran one for a while, and I could do 4.6GHz. Hell, @marto does 5GHz on a 3570K. I'd say you could do 4.2-4.5GHz.
