$1500 gaming pc

[Guest]

Here is what im looking for:

graphics card capable of killing bf4 maxed out. expecting on throwing $300-$500 on it. prefered amd like a 280x or something. mantle sounds promising.

I want to run windows 8.1 and hopefully have some cash to pick up a touch screen monitor

really thats about it im open to any parts as long as they are strongly reliable.

ill probably have 1tb western digital caviar black. no sdd for now. im wanting to go with intel for the cpu but honeslty im confused on which one. I keep hearing i7's are pointless unless im doing streaming or video editing, which i wont so... yeah the only uses for this computer will be gaming, movies, browsing, and school work. Also for memory ill just be using 8gb of 1600mhz.

In conclusion if i can get a strong recommendation on a cpu, mobo, psu, and graphics card that can fit into my budget that would be fantabulous

AMD's fine too, Probably wouldve been better if he went 290/280X since BF4 supports Mantle

True, however with a 780 he'll be able to get G-Sync if he waits a bit and buys a supported monitor. I don't want to start a flame war though. Either way there are some great features.

Oh i wasnt arguing lol, I was just saying with Mantle support it might allow better performance. There both crap tons more powerful than what i had or have ever owned. Best ive owned was a 7850 2gb

well i mean i guess the video card could still switch. i dont know enough about mantle yet to really want to push for it. i hear itl be a great way to get devs to make games on pc more easy. and the games should run smoother so theres that. but theres talk of mantle being also used on nvidia. so i mean well see. i havent heard of g sync though ill have to look it up. im open to either really, amd or nvidia. im not saying to start a flame war. but i would love to hear swaying opinions of a product that you suggest in a civilized manner

i was just watching a video on youtube and this guy had benchmark test on the 290x 780 780ti and titan. the 780ti did better then them all. i found that pretty surprising.

780ti is the most powerful of those.

The 780 and the 290x were pretty much neck-a-neck, then the 780ti came out and easily surpassed both, as it should have.
