New CPU

[Glackmore]

Hello Forums and community. I'm new to these forums as well as building and messing with computers. I was just wondering what the best bang for my buck would be, I have a $1500 budget to get the best gaming computer i can, That can play games such as DayZ, Arma, Battlefield, C.O.D., League of Legends while recording. As i've said i'm not much of a computer builder and don't understand it, but i've looked at this computer for a while and was told it would be amazing 

http://goo.gl/9jscZz

Any help would be much appreciated or a list of components to build a fully funcional computer without a mouse and keyboard.

Thank you community and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I've shortened it, Let me know if it's working.

Interesting, Well here's what it is 

Acer Predator AG3-605-UR23 Gaming PC from TigerDirect.com

[Dr3nz4r]

I'd suggest you to build it on your own.... a GTX 660 paired with a 4770(no K) seems to be not pretty balanced at all

what would the end price be to this build?

By building a system with these specs yourself, you could probably save $300. So your looking at a $900 build there. Please don't buy that though, it's a waste of your money. I encourage you to build your own. At the start of this year I was a Console gamer, and by the end of summer I'd managed to build my first gaming rig. It's really not that hard.

Huehue... consider something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2oEyG

 

These are horrible parts for a $1500 budget. He could get a 4770K and a GTX 780 and still be within the budget. 

[Raj8396]

I would suggest R9 280x or a gtx 770 and then build around it. If you are going to be recording Nvidia has a feture called shadow play which lets you record gameplay without affecting the fps much, just something to consider. If you dont want shadowplay a 4770k would be good because it has hyperthreading. or an 8350.

You said you ahve 1500$ budget, does that include a monitor/keyboard/mouse?

I would get a better motherboard and faster dual channel ram. I dont think there would be much overclocking potential on that board.

Linus did a video about that.. premium boards tend to overclock a little bit better, thenc heaper boards.

Linus took the absolutly cheapest z87 board and the Asus Maximus somewhat 200+$ board.. both achived the same OC..

 

So we can conclude: there is absolutly no need to buy badass motherboards for the OC perspective..

 

Also see my 2nd variation, if he does not need a monitor and such in that budget

[JigglyPufflez]

That PC is decent, but for the price I am sure you can get something with a bit more graphics horsepower, to run those games 3x more better All about Custom building on these forums

Everybody can build a PC , it's like Lego i even thaught my 9 year old niece to do it.

The Parts i chose will play every game at ultra and even on 4K if you decider to add another GFX card in the future you can play BF4 At High-Ultra On 4K. With the Pre-Build Pc you can't even play BF4 on high at 1080P.  ( This is just an example )

Watch these awesome vids : ( ignore the parts and use the parts i suggested.)

I'd agree with this build. With this you'll be getting the most performance for the money. As long as your not needing to buy peripherals.

You can get a 4770k and 780 for this price.. im not sure quite sure, but i highly doubt, that this build (over budget) will perform anything near then a 4770k + 780...

Yes i remember that video but like linus i tend to trust the big 3's for motherboard.

Not ATM but in the future when more cores will be utilized by games (This will happen because the consoles have 8 cores and AMD chips .) Also If you look at some 4K benchmarks you can see that the r9 290 is  superior to the 780: http://nl.hardware.info/reviews/5115/6/benchmarks-battlefield-4-getest-met-40-gpus-inclusief-4k!-benchmarks-3840x2160

you are comparing a heavily AMD optimized game to a nvidia card? are you serious? get some benchnmarks, showing more or less neutral statistics, over the general games out there.. Metro 2033 / Last Light, Crysis 3, Crysis 1 and such. You can not compare JUST AMD optimized stuff .....

[theNejCar]

Ummm... Why is the title 'new CPU' if you are going to buy a prebuilt system?

you're right i didnté notice only BF4 was i there , my apologies , http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/11/11/geforce_gtx_780_ti_vs_radeon_r9_290x_4k_gaming/#.UrgcK_TuKks

thats 780TI vs 290X....

 

Some graphs from reliable Sources, and different Games... There are 4k benchmarks available, but they are pretty balanced.. almost withing margin of error for the 290 being about 5 frames ahead in average
