find out if the cpu is soldered on first,dont wana buy then find out you can change it.

do you think you are going a little overboard with a haswell refresh cpu? a 4670 will do the job. almost everything will be bottlenecked by it. id really reconsider unless you really need the REALLY heavy cpu performance. or you can wait for broadwell later this year.

then just take out the cpu cooler.

so im taking it you dont care about aesthetics? is noise a issue? overclocking? put in a cpu cooler because am3 coolers are very loud,you should be good for some moderate overclocking. : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3RsmP

whoa OP. if you have 8gb it will barely improve performance.having 12gb spare is much too overkill. theres a difference between a performance increase and bragging rights.rule of thumb is:if the ram doesnt get 100% used you wont get a fps increase. just look at your current ram usage,does it...

do you need to upgrade in the future? or is this just a standalone machine? id suggest u want for the release of broadwell later this year and see how prices drop. also,do you need the operating system?windows? this below build is if you dont need to upgrade the cpu to a future platform. u...

so second build? k then,if money isnt an issue.

For the expensive intel build you should probably have it.the gpu is pretty beastly.and you wanted to have the parts to oc didnt you? i take it youre going to with second anyway?advice goes unheeded again...

do u plan on future upgrades?if so,what type. do you plan to overclock?(that would explain the "k" cpus) you can keep all the components from the cheaper build and just switch the power supply and graphics card if you want.it will make next to no difference and be cheaper. i noticed how you...

why so?id like to free you of that doubt.

i didnt see an aftermarket cooler,would the stock be enough?someone mentioned "lots of cooling" 1333mhz ram?prices are going down now,1600mhz should only be a matter of 4 to 10 dollars more...

i get an error message when i try.....or the file just doesnt show.. am i not getting something here?its what i did the first time around..

i will provide pics ;) i have the receipt from the mobo/cpu but not the gpu.i can however give pics of the actual card. ill get the gpu pic later,i have piano to get to right now~ edit:guys,how do u upload on this website..guess igmur will have to do..

im using the same cpu/gpu/mobo as OP here.thats why i mentioned it. i even did a bit of oc with the stock cooler(to 3.8ghz) and it made little difference. what resolution are u running it at?

nope.thats the problem,Australian prices are ridiculous.

thats a bit of an exaggeration there......i have a 260x OC as well and cant run stuff like hawken on ultra 1080.i would say med to high is the bet for something like bf4.

there are none for that price.the only ones that are under 100 use ddr3 memory so i might as well spent that extra cash on high speed ram. like i said,i considered a r7 240+pentium build already but a gpu at that price can only be slow.

nope,with this budget i can either go with this build or a 4th gen Pentium w/ a r7 240 . have $500 to work with here.... i came across this video ........... im using slightly slower ram but shouldnt i still be able to get playable fps?or are you saying the integrated gpu cant handle ftb?

you should be more concerned about the 260x bottle-necking your 6300 OR the stupidly loud cpu fan AMD provides.i can heard it while wearing over-ear headphones.... talking from experience here,i have the exact same mobo/gpu/cpu setup.

hi guys,im building a budget rig for a friend and was wondering if a 5800k with 8gb of 1866mhz will be able to run ftb decently. if a thread about this already exists please direct me to it. keep in mind if you do recommend something i can only use physical sydney stores(friend is a bit old...
