I need help building a gaming pc

[mouse1014]

I am going to build a high end PC in the future, but for now I need a cheap temporary one. I want a build an AMD based build for the temporary (I will be passing this one off to my little brothers) and Intel for the High End (my sister got me the Nvidia Shield for my now ruined PC). Preferably I would like to base the AMD around graphics cards like the new r7 series, and the intel gtx 780. I need the AMD to be able to play battlefield 4 (r7 250 plays it) but it doesn't have to be all that high.

All help is greatly appreciated

So, what're the budgets? For both the temporary and the high-end one?

The High End $1000-1600
Temporary As cheap as possible no more than $500

I assume you're purchasing from the US, correct?

Is the budget for tower only, or includes monitor in the budget? And should it include OS, or do you own it already?

both budgets are tower only. I have 6 windows 8 downloads, and 4 4k monitors

4K? Holy crap.

You do know you won't be able to max BF4 at Ultra at that resolution, correct? You'll have to reduce either quality or resolution if you want to keep high FPS.

Same applies to the low-end PC which will barely handle it.

I kind of knew that. For the low end I have a dell 1280 * 1024. How could I max out bf4 on the high end. I can bump the high end budget up, I just like to keep things pretty low

To give you a precise answer, there was a computer running BF4 at Ultra, with a resolution slightly above 4K. It had 4 GTX Titans and it couldn't get past 60 FPS.

EDIT: I had previously mentioned 40 FPS, it was actually 60 FPS when not recording.

And you're attempting to make a build that will use 4 monitors, each of them being a 4K monitor, or running 4 monitors that when together have a 4K resolution?

each a 4k, they were gifts from different parts of the fam. I have to get another monitor anyway (for when I give the low end to my brother), what do you suggest?

 

[Kelthar]

Personally I'd use one of the 4K when gaming, but use it at a reduced resolution or reduced graphics. For that budget you won't be able to max it, that's for sure.

If you absolutely want another monitor, what resolution and size? Also, 60Hz or 120/144?

honestly, I'm not sure. For a PC that will most likely only play MMO's (Vindictus, ESO [a big maybe],and League) and Battlefield, what would you recommend. My brothers aren't really tech enthusiasts or anything of the like, so anything decent will do.

Also is there an app for tom's forums. My connection is messing up (that's why it's been taking so long to respond)

Okay so I'll be aiming at 500$ for the "temporary" PC, and 1500$ for the permanent one.

Are you a US resident? So that I find the prices for the correct shops.

sorry for the long wait (Term papers, work, and the like). Yes I am in the US
