Hello all,
Looking for some advice on the rig im planning on putting together by the end of the year. My goal is to achieve 60fps on ultra settings for the newer released games like BF4 while being in my budget. I may switch graphics cards to the AMD R9 290x.
Could you offer some suggestions and/or advice on what i could switch out to get a bigger bang for my buck?
