BF4 on Ultra at ~50 FPS (or more)?

[pindleton]

I put together this rig after doing about a weeks worth of researching and shopping. I finally got everything ordered today. I'm really hoping to play BF4 on Ultra at a pretty good FPS. So what do guys think? Will this build get the job done (or come close)?

I don't think so, the 270x will hold you back from your goal. I would recommend getting the 280x for what you need. The game should still be very playable but not 50fps on ultra settings.

Well to be clear I do intend to try some slight over clocking as well. Do you think I'll be getting close to my goal?

Nope.

Even with an over clock it just doesn't have the raw power. The general rule of thumb is to spend twice as much on the graphics card as the processor, although prices are pretty good right now 1.5X would be fine also. Just take a look at benchmarks for the 270x and it will tell you what to expect.

Dang. I just can't fork out more money right now. Maybe I can buy another in a few months and crossfire them.

Get a 3570k almost same performance and both mobo and cpu will be cheaper, also you dont need 16gb of ram.

P,D: if you plan to add another card in the future, go Nvidia, amd crossfire kinda sucks
P.D 2: Save the 82 dollars of the OS
