Hi guys! So I need someone to tell me if this build will work, can run crysis 3 in 4k, and if it would be able to use 800W

[TheHusk]

So to restate

I need to know if
1. Each of these parts is compatible and will run without issues

2. Will run crysis 3 in 3840 x 2160 resolution with at least 45 fps

3 Could run with a 800W PSU

Also if you could recommend any part changes and explain why that would be really nice and I would appreciate it. THANKS GUYS!

You forgot the link.. 😉

LoL, I did forget the link... fixed it though

That will not max Crysis at 4K.

Ditch the i7 for an i5 - $100 saved

Ditch the 16gb RAM -$100 saved

Ditch the PH-TC14PE - $80 saved

Get a cheaper 750W PSU - $70 saved

Buy another GTX 970 and max everything at 4K

At low settings, yes.

800w is WAY overkill here. 550-650w would be more realistic.

No even SLI 970s will not max everything at 4k. CERTAINLY not crysis 3. You will average 28fps at 4k with SLI970s at 4k at Very High settings.

One 970 can't even max Crysis 3 at 1080p.

2 970s are about equivalent to 2 290Xs at stock. 2 290X can pretty much max anything at 4K with over 30fps. I'm sure 2 overclocked 970s could max Crysis 3 at 4K without AA over 30fps

You can go with this instead for more FPS.. But to answer your questions..

1. Yes, they should be compatible, however you should check your ram clearance to see if the ram + cpu cooler are compatible..
2. Depends on your settings.. It won't run on MAX though.
3. 860w is more than enough, but a great amount of wattage for a dual 970 setup.

Here is a benchmark for SLI 970s at 4k.

OVERCLOCKED 970s only get 28fps. YOu will have to lower the settings. Plus playing at 30fps sucks anyway. It would be MUCH more enjoyable to play at all high settings at much higher frames.

 

[TomThePotato]

So, mixture of high-ultra with a dual 970 setup for around 45 fps?

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah, but playing at all high locked at 60 will be WAY more enjoyable experience. No dips or spikes. MUCH more fun and smooth.
