i5 4460 + r9 290 @ 60fps?

[Legion217]

Hello guys, will I be able to run games like DA:I in 1080p at 60fps with an i5 4460 paired with an r9 290? And also, what mobo would you recommend for those two? Under $100 mobo is my target. Thank you!

At High yes, Ultra no.

I would recommend an arsock h97 pro4, and you would definitely get 60 fps 1080p.

Hope this helps

Thanks! I've heard good things about that mobo so far, so I think I'd be getting that one instead. And btw, should I get a 750w PSU for those? Cause I might upgrade my gpu to gtx 970 in the future.

Thanks for the reply. I guess 50fps average won't hurt at all since I will be upgrading to a gtx 970 in the future anyway, and I think that'd give me an fps boost.

No a 550w should be plenty if u stay with that cpu and upgrade to 970, i recommend a xfx 550w TS series psu, they are the best high quality value PSUs on the market

Hope this helps

Nice! Thanks a lot for the help! here's going to be my build. pcpartpicker
