Hey guys,

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. first off tho id like to appoligise as ive been out of pc gamming for about a year as i chose to buy a xbox one and sold me pc :O

yes i know sacralige but ive mended my ways and sold the xbox to come back to my one true love that is pc gamming.

now with so many ways to go to build my new rig i and aiming on playing The Division when its out at 1080p on high settings but am on a budget and with that being said ill post what i looked into getting for my money.

Now i thought about going for a i7 4790k as that was recomended to me by a friend but its soooooo expensive and with my budget i wouldnt have a GPU bought in time for the division getting released so i wonderd if going for an

AMD A10-7870K 3.9 GHz Socket FM2+ Turbo at 4.1ghz £97.99

Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-D3H Motherboard £49.24

AMD Radeon™ R9 Gamer Memory 2400mhz x2 4gb=8GB £54.99

120gb Kingston SSD £39.99

and a EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 £160.99

TOTAL £403.20

What do you guys think and do you think i could get top graphics with The Division when its out

Any Reccomendation is welcome

Cheers Guys

With £400 you're unlikely to get The Division at max graphics if you need a full system.

You're looking at at least an i5 and GTX 970 I'd have thought - you might get away with the 960, but the AMD CPU isn't going to keep up.

Why not to set up AMD FX-8320(preferably E), used, as part of bunch (+mobo+memory) @ Ebay, with some B-Grade card, like 280X/290 ? Don't be limited with new-only stuff, otherwise you will HAVE to play (instead of playing with pleasure), lol

The Division will be quite demanding, plus being Ubisoft it will be poorly optimised going by their previous releases, so mid-range hardware will struggle.

Ideally you want a 380/970/390 to play it nicely with a decent CPU to back it up, a used 3570k/2600k/2500k setup would be ideal.

kl so ud reccomend i get something like a

AMD FX-8350 EIGHT CORE and build my pc around that for the division to be played on top high graphics
with 8gb and my gtx 960 4gb?
