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?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BniF
My budget is roughly around 560 so if you have any better ideas please add them

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

This is an e.g. :

http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Powercolor/HD_7770/images/bf3_1280_1024.gif

This is at ultra settings dx11, if you set at mid, you can expect good fps, really playable.
But the 7850 at 720p gets 60 fps ultra.

exactly. but with 64 players gonna get choppy on that 7700

The CPU takes more of a hit in multiplayer. Thats where the i5 will shine.

 

[darksnake23]

ok. The cpu would be fine in bf3 multiplayer even if it was a phenom x4 965 BE lol. the gpu is what will really be a pain. and i can upgrade further down the road. id rather go with the cheapest best solution for playing modern games on at least med

This isn't really true. The CPU is VERY stressed in multiplayer. More so than basically any other game ever. There WILL be a NOTICEABLE difference between an i3 and an i5. Battlefield 3 is coded for 4 cores unlike most games. The i5 will blow away the i3 or phenom II x4 965.

yar.

 

[darksnake23]

ok well if my budget is happened to get strained to like 500 what would be the best config?

 

[iceclock]

with or without windows?

 

[darksnake23]

without.

For 500$ you won't get much better than an i3, the thing is the i3 doesn't bottleneck the 7770 or 7850 even on BF3 multiplayer, you need a better card for it at certain resolution as well.
So at mid settings 720p an i3 is more than suffice, the i3 will bottleneck the mid/high end card in BF3 mp, but not a 7770 or 7850.
See here for cpu bf3 benchmark mp : http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Battlefield-3-PC-221396/Specials/Battlefield-3-Multiplayer-Tipps-CPU-Benchmark-1039293/
That was with a 680 GTX card.
For 500 get the i3+7850 1GB, i posted a link above with a one within 500$, this one : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BxW7

[iceclock]

alright this should be my last question lol.
Just based on this build would there be any bottlenecking and would there be any game I would have trouble running? Also can you give me a small list of modern games i can run a semi good graphics at 60 fps or higher?

 

[tiny voices]

any game at low settings. Anything above low settings at 1080p will be rough. Maybe some games at medium settings will get 30+ fps but things like skyrim will be most playable at med/low. The gtx650 is a very low budget gaming card.

How much did your build cost you and what all can you play on it?

 

[tiny voices]

I can max mostly everything. My build was built over time and I got discounts with everything I bought. (why I built it over time) I paid in total probably like $600 dollars.

 

[darksnake23]

can you set me up a build like taht just to see how much it would cost? and if you could lower the gpu to a 7850 if its over 560?

would i be able to max BF3 on my res?

 

[tiny voices]

What is your resolution?

 

[darksnake23]

1280*1024

 

[tiny voices]

you should max stuff with the 7850 no problem at that low of a resolution.

 

[darksnake23]

ok thank you.

 

[iceclock]

tiny voices build seems nice o-o
