Can i run on ultra?

OllieTaylor99 · 1 Dec 2013 at 18:06

Will these specs be able to run games on ultra WHILE recording at a decent fps? EG: BF4, DayZ, Crysis, farcry and WarThunder?

AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor

Biostar A960D+ Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Kingston XMP Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk

Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card

TP-Link TL-WDN3800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter

NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer

Corsair CX500M

Windows 7 home 64bit

Also is everything compatible and will it fit into the case ok?

Depends what res you want to record at.

My system is:
Fx6300 @ 4.6
Asus m5a97 atx board
8gb xms3 1600mhz ram
Xfx 7950 3gb @ 1100/1500

At 1080p on a 64 man server on bf4 i get owt between 40 - 80 fps with everything on ultra
At 720 i get a constant 80+ fps.

I think you might struggle to do what you need with your system spec.

OllieTaylor99 · 1 Dec 2013 at 18:15

Forgot to say, my recording will be 1440x900 at 40-60fps with FRAPS

What's your budget?

You can sacrifice the SSD for now and use a 3-month trial of Windows 8. Put the freed-up funds into the rest of the build, and add the SSD in a future upgrade.

OllieTaylor99 · 1 Dec 2013 at 18:20

My budget is £600 but i can go up to £615 if needed. Plus I'd rather not use Windows 8. I hate it personally XD I also use a NAS to store my files, finished recordings etc

Arnt these specs technically the same as I put? How will it perform better?

I did`nt say it would perform better. I just specced you a fairly decent system for your budget. As what you specced was way over.
I also think to achieve your goal, you need to increase your budget. Get an AMD 8320 or Intel i5 4670k with a decent mobo and cooler.

Fulax · 1 Dec 2013 at 19:09

Take off Windows 7 and you'll get an 8320, a better (and ATX) motherboard, and some faster RAM...

Martini1991 · 1 Dec 2013 at 19:12

That's strictly a mid range PC.
So you won't be playing ultra and recording all that well really.

Except from the SSD, that's pretty high

Danny75 · 1 Dec 2013 at 19:45

If you drop a little to a Bulldozer quad-core (with higher GHz than the FX6-6300, that may help make up for it somewhat), and change a few things like the case you wanted and the Wireless Adapter, then you can move up a level in video card. Still over budget though.

But that FX4130 is utter crap though.

770 and an FX4130, talk about a bottleneck.

Well, ideally, you'd want a better processor than even the FX-6300, let alone the FX-4130, I know. But I think that combo, maybe with a bit of overclocking, would achieve the following:

Only £10 more for the FX-6300 though, was just trying to bring it down as much as possible:

I take it you have a hdd for storage.

Smoogels · 1 Dec 2013 at 20:55

If you plan on recording I'd try to slap a 8320 in there, especially since it's not much more than a 6300.

OllieTaylor99 · 1 Dec 2013 at 21:56

Ok what about this?

AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core

Zalman CNPS10X OPTIMA

ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+

Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

OCZ Synapse Cache 64GB 2.5" SSD

Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM

MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB

TP-Link TL-WN751ND 802.11b/g/n PCI

Zalman Z5 Plus ATX Mid Tower

Lite-On iHDS118-04 DVD/CD Drive

Windows 7

Is all this good/compatible?

Martini1991 · 1 Dec 2013 at 21:57

Don't get that Asrock board.

Run Windows 8 with the AMD stuff.

So if i got windows 8 and a Asus/Gigabyte board would I be able to do what I want to do?

Josh · 1 Dec 2013 at 21:59

Save yourself some monies and get an 8320 and just oc it. One of the best bang for buck CPU's on the market for BF4/General.

Martini1991 · 1 Dec 2013 at 22:00

I think you're expecting a little too much from the money you're spending personally.
DayZ isn't the best with AMD CPU's, but then you need more than i5 to record while gaming anyway.

For an FX83 you're looking at around an 80 quid board.
