Wait for the new AMD GPU's to be released as they'll bundle with BF4 I imagine, so will be October when they are released.

Cheaper hdd 1TB or 2TB.

Cheers guys but as for the AMD processors im not to keen as the intels usually smash them and by getting a haswell board I feel I will be futureproofing my system for upgrade down the line.

AMD GPUs, not CPUs.

BF4 is an AMD game, it's optimised for AMD hardware. So if that's what you're building primarily for you'd want AMD over nvidia for certain.

Oops my bad i see gpu now lol. As i have been a bit of an nvidia fanboy having never had a problem with them i have never really paid any attention to ati/amd cards so would not have a clue were to start. Also the card i linked got a fantastic review on custom pc and at just over £200 looks like a great deal.

For BF4, just get the MSI 7950 at £190, seriously

I have a 560 ti twin frozr at the moment and wonder how much better the 7950 is?

The 7950 will be a lot better that the 560ti.

Cheap option: pick up another 560ti, 2nd hand about £70. Plays everything for me, can`t complain.

The 670s are cheap enough now, and **** games on max settings if your using 1 monitor
