New components ordered. Will it be enough for my demands?

[Alanthor]

Hi,

Recently ordered components so I can build my own rig.

Specs:
AMD FX-4300 Black Edition (Quadcore 3.8GHz)
Sapphire Radeon R9 270x 2GB GDDR5 (W/ BF4)
Cooler Master G650M, 650W PSU
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz, 4GB CL9
MSI 970A-G43, Socket AM3+
And my HDD from my laptop, S-ATA, haha 😀
Windows 7 64bit.

The only games I play is World of Warcraft, and Battlefield 4. I know it will run WoW without any problems, but will it run BF4, and if so, at what graphics settings, approx? I doubt I can run it on ultra, but Medium is enough for me, hehe. Will it work?

The processor might limit the GPU, get a fx6300 atleast and 8gb ram. Apart from that good build.

 

[Alanthor]

Yea, I had that in my mind too. The amount of RAM is just temporary, because my budget wasnt so high. Either way, I called the company who had the components, and he said I will be able to play BF4 with high settings. And that's defo fine with me. Tho, my main game is WoW

No not with 4gb of ram and that processor. You will be heavily limited in fps at high settings in bf4. I have 8gb of ram and my usage while playing bf4 gets up too 60%+ meaning im using more than 4gb. If you overclock that processor you may squeeze by but thats a limited cpu as well. Rest of the system looks good just another 4gb ram and a fx6300 like stated. Why spend money on stuff you arent really sure about only to spend more later to replace it? Save and do it right the first time.

Trust the experts. Take my advice and invest some more money.

Because I want a rig so I can start raiding with my guild again, that's the main reason. BF4 is just a + if it can handle it. It's not a demand actually.. WoW is a demand though, haha. I will overclock the CPU abit, yes. But im not that kind of person that isnt satisfied if they have less than 50 FPS. I am used to play at 20 FPS at low settings, so I am very satisfied if I can play BF4 with 40fps at low/medium. Either way, if im not happy with the setup, I can always return the item I am not satisfied with. I have never had any pc with this setup, so I am extremely happy over this 😛 But as stated, I will OC the CPU abit and buy another stick of 4GB in soon future. Now, I can play WoW and raid with my guild, thats my main reason

If you overclock then get an Aftermarket Cpu cooler for 30$ as AMD FX CPU's tend to get hot on OC'ing. And if you see lags on high then shift to medium on bf4, and turn AA on but download Mantle API patch and Latest amd driver.

Ok, thank you! My budget has been ripped at the moment, so I cannot buy anything more. I will have a good look at the temperature, to see if and how much it allows me to OC. What is the absolutely max temperature on both GPU and CPU, according to you? I believe that anything over 90 degrees celsius, is critical. My current laptop have 80 degrees celsius at idle/surfing, lol..

And about case fans. I have 2 case fans atm, I dont know size, but optimal is one fan blowing in, and one out, right?

Like 2 or 3 in and 2 out at least. 2 intake and 2 exhaust is ideal.
