What budget what country, do you need a display and all that?

3

My Budget is £750 to £800 and im from the UK

4

And no ill already have a display from my xbox which i dont use anymore

5

With those specs, you could play any AAA game on high/ultra in 1080p.

But yeah, give more info :D

6

Well is it at least a 1080p IPS display?

7

Sick! What is the least i could spend to run most AAA Games just out of curiosity because i dont want to spend more than i have to. Thanks for the help

Probably this, In any case you should get a 390 over a 970, AMD cards tend to have more performance overall in the mid range, and Nvidia cards don't look to completely support DX12/Vulkan due to an issue they have with A-sync

Also a 1440p IPS display is around 250 Pounds, so add that in if you get a chance, or maybe get an SSD

The lesser build, the 380/960 are more 1080p cards, and the 390/970 are more for 1440p, although the 380 at least can handle 1440p pretty well

Thank you that seems like a much better option, would this build run AAA games on decent settings? Also thank you for the help!

I have an i3 and a GTX 960 and I can run Fallout 4 on ultra settings 40-60fps
Pretty much every game with a 960 can be run on high
except Arkham Knight, because those guys can't program proper

12

Thank you for the help just 1 more question out of curiosity becuase i want to spend as little as i can get away with how would this build perform with AAA games?

that's a video for the GTX 750 Ti

It's a pretty low-end card, but the CPU won't be a bottleneck.

14

Awesome! So basically the £340 build i linked would run battle filed 4 at medium to high well?

15

Should go for a 360, future support, freedom and all that, it's also 79 pounds, performs about the same as the 750ti

Also you should really buy an i3 over the pentium, some games like GTAV will not run well at all on a pure dual core, if not the 860K over the Pentium if you really wanna spend less

As little as possible would be like an APU build that'll run games well at 720p

The APU has a strong iGPU you wouldn't get a dedicated card with it, and the 2400mhz RAM wouldn't be needed either, here's the APU's iGPU benchmarks

Actually the price is so close to the 860K in the UK, Keep the A8 7600 the back up GPU may come in handy sometime

RAM here's a bit slower than what was in the build

A8
7650K | CS:GO/Dota 2/SC2 benchmarks Tested With 1866Mhz
RAM

7650K | Various AAA titles Tested with 2133Mhz
