[joejoeboom]

What would be the cheapest system needed to max out battlefield 4? I figured an amd proc/gpu would be the best since battlefield 4 has mantle. Any help is greatly appreciated!

With any of these systems you will be doing some heavy duty gaming. It would be wise to get an aftermarket Cooler.
I recommend a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo.

AF cooler is only needed in the fx 8350 cpu build because it have the OC ability intel locked doesn't need an af cooler.
