Update this Gaming PC Build?

[Rodbrollin]

Hey, I was wondering if I could get a few suggestions for this build. It is about $700 or so and I want it to be around $750. No higher than $760. If anyone could add something to make this PC build a lot faster for gaming for $50 that would be great. Thanks.

Switch the r9 270 to a r9 270X, or gtx 760 if you can afford it.

hmm. Nice. Can you tell me how much of an FPS increase in a game like Battlefield? for both of those cards?

ehh, for 760 it would probably be like 15+ fps. (idk about 270X)

in my build, i got a 280, an fx 8320 and better cooler, better mobo, better hdd, better psu, and better monitor (the one you picked only had a vga port).

This is insanely amazing for that price. Thank you, however, I heard that case isn't too good because it can't even fix a 760 card?? It is somewhat small I heard so even the Optical Drive might not be able to fit entirely. Any solutions to that? DIfferent case, slightly bigger?

 

[Danbuscus25]

both the optical drive and the graphics card will fit, it has an external 5.25" bay for the optical drive, and if the graphics card didnt fit it would have a incompatibility note under the build. you can get a bigger case if you want, it just means spending a little more. also, anything from microcenter, you have to go and pick it up in person.

Well, this is great, thanks a lot man. I'm sure I will be either building this or building something close to this in the next few months. You have been a great help and I'm sure everything will fit in the case. You are right. So I guess that leaves one last question. How much fps can this beast of a computer get in CS:GO, DayZ, and Minecraft?

 

[Danbuscus25]

it will max out minecraft no problem, idk about cs:go, and it should handle dayz on high-very high.
