Will these work together good?

[dakota breeden]

Hi, I was wondering if all my hardware would work together good, and be able to play say Battlefield 4, and high-extreme settings? If not what do I need to change in the list? Thanks! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Bs9W

The 3570k is $190, the 4670k is $200.

 

[dakota breeden]

OK, so the 3570k is supposedly the best for gaming, what about the 4670k?

 

[Seladon-1370374]

I already explained you, and compared those 3 times. I'm going to do it a fourth time.
If you're doing a big overclock, the i5-3570k is going to perform the same as the i5-4670k, but for cheaper.
If you're only going to do some slight overclocking, the i5-4670k is going to be better.

 

[dakota breeden]

OK, sorry for asking it too many times, but why does the 3570k cost less?

 

[Seladon-1370374]

It runs a slight bit slower at stock speed. That's why.

 

[dakota breeden]

what's the slight bit? 1GHz?

 

[Seladon-1370374]

It performs about 6 to 8% better, at stock speed. It's not about GHz, both are at the same clock.

Alright thank you, I will update this thread a little later on my new build.

 

[Seladon-1370374]

No problem, I'm here for that, sir !
Remember to pick your solution.

 

[dakota breeden]

I will, thank you!

Alright, so I got my list reset, here it is:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1DsHA Does that look good? For $100 more would the I7 3770k be better? Thanks for the help!

 

[Seladon-1370374]

Here's what I would do, and no, the i7-3770k is not a good choice for gaming :

So, is my ram not better for just $3 more? Is that motherboard better than the one I chose? How about the cpu cooler? Thanks for the help!

 

[Seladon-1370374]

The CPU cooler is better. The motherboard will perform about the same. The RAM won't make any difference for gaming.

 

[dakota breeden]

Alright, thank you!

 

[dakota breeden]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1DNct That look good? But I wont be getting this for about 4 or 5 months, so I may ask if there is anything better, but i'm sure these prices will go way down. Thanks

I pieced this together http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Ghqy and it looks great to me, especially for a hackintosh. But I read that the amd chip would be better for future games, is this true?
