Intel X99 DDR4 Gaming PC

[sharantk]

Is it possible to make a DDR4 RAM PC without monitor under $1300? I like to play BF Hardline, AC Unity, FC4, etc. in 1920x1080p resolution in ultra settings with at least 30fps. I'm also concerned about the upcoming games.

I would go with the x97 chipset as there is no reason to go with the x99 system when you are only gaming at 1080p

You will NOT gain any FPS by going with X99. You should go with Z97 and a nice GPU like a 970/980/290x.

This build will eat every game you throw at it at high to ultra settings.

Can I play all games in 1080p in ultra settings without frame drops using x97 based processors?

Most games yes, you may suffer in a FEW AAA games, requiring you to move to high settings, but it will for most.

The cost can go down if you change the case and PSU.
