What would I be able to run?

[darksnake23]

I'm building a new computer and was wondering what games this build would be able to run?

My budget is roughly around 560 so if you have any better ideas please add them

Ditch that psu, raidmax psus are garbage, get a 7850 with 2GB, also that ram is expensive, you'll not have any gains with it.

max budget and do u need os?

 

[darksnake23]

Max budget is about 560 - 580 before rebates as i don't know much about rebates. And I don't really need an OS... i will try to switch from my computer now...

 

[darksnake23]

ad the 1 gb version of the 7850 gets better fps for most games. only games like skyriom and big games have a big effect on fps
2gb per price is not worth it.

Just ditch the psu and get this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bshk

If you consider an intel build, i suggest this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bskb

It has a better cpu, a 7850 2GB, cheaper ram, a good decent psu all under your budget without rebates.
The custom parts are from ncix, pcpartpicker is bugged, it doesn't show ncix parts.
The psu is this : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=62331&vpn=VP450&manufacture=Antec
The ram is this : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=74758&promoid=1292
The cpu is this : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=75429&promoid=1292

All those three parts have free shipping all together.

 

[darksnake23]

i wouldn't consider that a much better cpu at all...
it is more expensive and the clock rates of the quad are faster and it has 2 more cores.

 

[djangoringo]

The i3 has faster cores, it's better for gaming, and has a lower power consumption, you can't compare the speeds of the amd with the intel, different architectures, the i3 overall is better.
See here for toms hardware cpu recommendation : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html

The x4 965 be is a decent quad core, but just an option, if you get it ncix, the total cost is bellow the x4 965 with motherboard, ram and psu.

 

[darksnake23]

What would I be able to run with that pc?

 

[djangoringo]

Any game at mid/high settings, whatever the 7850 2GB permits, the i3 doesn't bottleneck the 7850.

My preferred version of the Radeon 7850 2gb. On sale. And has a sexy cooler

 

[djangoringo]

That gfx card is a good option indeed, since the powercolor is out of stock in newegg, i'd get that one in ncix, it offers the two games as in newegg.
Updated list : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BtbS

 

[darksnake23]

Ok give me a rundown of probable fps examples of popular games?
because certain games recommend a quad core would this be affected at all by the inclusion of only a dual core?

 

[djangoringo]

No, you'll not experience frame drops, the 7850 will perform at the maximum capability.
If it was a high end card, then yes, it will be better an i5 or a better amd cpu(not the x4 965 be).

 

[tiny voices]

Don't be scared of the i3 because its a dual core. I switched from a 965be to an i3 and gained noticeable performance in gaming. I have a 7870 and there is absolutely no bottleneck at all.

now ice lock how would this rig setup fair fps wise?

 

[iceclock]

yes. but if u can afford it i can recommand the 2 gig version.

but up to if u can spend an extra 20$. def worth it tho.

 

[darksnake23]

I read that there is really no difference in the 2 gb and 1 gb version. its just a bit more money for an extra gig of vram which most games wont even use. OK the main game i play is mount and blade warband can someone give me a setup for like 450 dollars that can run a couple games on high... and maybe newer games like BF3 on low?

 

[iceclock]

there is dude.

most games take 1 gig today, and more. trust me the extra 1 gig will be handy.

Minimum, for it i suggest this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BxW7

or this for 450 : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BxZu

The custom parts are ncix, pcpartpicker is still bugged, it's a pain in the ass.

 

[iceclock]

nice build +1

 

[darksnake23]

How well does the 7770 run games running Dx10 and below and what would be the approx fps for BF3 on Low? multiplayer?

 

[iceclock]

eh honestly the rig i recommanded , and djs rig with the i5 would be alot more appropriate the 7700 will get pwned in bf3 with 64 players. the frostbyte engin is a very powerful graphic engin.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark,3135-6.html

cant even hit 60fps prob. ur choice but u might get slowdowns that are annoying.
