@ 1080p the r9 280 will not max out many newer games.

Lots of areas you could improve. This build will game at higher settings then your build. And it will overclock nicely.

I Know that it can't max out any game at 60fps
but it can with 30+fps(playable for me )

 

[envy14tpe]

30+fps isn't playable at all to me. I need at least 50 and prefer 60. 30fps is painfully slow in fps games.

so many games which are capped or locked at 30 fps aren't playable to you?
PS4 runs many games at 30 fps
so isn't it considered playable ??

Haha. I remember the time a guy compared gaming on a PC to a PS4. If you like quality PC is king. And fps matters when playing 30fps against someone at 60fps.

I know that pc is superior in every aspect
but 30 fps is playable frame rate
if you are used to 60 fps then you will cease 30 fps
its not your fault
I don't have a enthusiast rig which would max out any game at 60+ fps
so I am used to 30-35 fps
sorry for arguing it was my fault [:jamesheller]
