Good computer build. : V

» Fri Sep 27, 2013 5:33 am

First of all, Hello everyone! Second of all, the title pretty much says it all.

I'm looking for the perfect build for the budget of ￡500 - ￡700. It'll be awesome if you can spend as little as possible!

The things this computer must match are:

1. Will play Skyrim maxed with a few mods at a constant 60FPS+

2. Will play Minecraft at 60FPS+ maxed.

3. (I know this one isn't predictable but since they released hardware requirements I'm guessing people can get a rough idea) Can run BF4 High/Very HIgh/Maxed at 60FPS+ Constantly.

4. Would last a very long time. (I'm extremely good at looking after these things, I still have the first Xbox from release of the 360.)

5. Would handle other games with ease and no trouble at all.

6. Doesn't come with an OS, I don't need one, I have one.

7. SSD is optional, depends what you all think.

I'm NOT RECORDING NOR MAKING VIDEOS. This is purely for gaming, console svcks.

If this isn't the place to ask, I'm extremely sorry, you must understand that a noob like me that knows nothing about computers, really wants to have a perfect build and get away from consoles. The people on the Minecraft forums say "Just wait for price drops etc etc" but that's not what I want. I want someone to list the BEST build for my price.

I am extremely thankful for any help that's offered.

Here are the current builds someone has listed, if one of them are extremely good, please tell me, I want to be sure as this is my first build, this must be perfect! If you can cut the price down with very little to no performance loss, even better!

you have chosen one of the two cofigurations. Ok then....

I would go for the 2 build. (the think is that i don't know if it's a good price or not, because i live in Greece and we have Euros...LOL)

i can't say if you will play minecraft ot BF4 maxed out, because it depends on your resolution too. (Maxed out settings like AA AF, at 60 fps, in whics resolution ???)

As for the Skyrim mods, they are hardware demanding mod's and not so demanding.

--------------------------------

Actually that system is pretty good and you shouldn't have problems playing skyrim at very high settings as well. (there is always a fps penalty installing mod's on a PC especially enb HD textures mod's)

you can see at that video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UMNDv_PBQ0

If you're able to put together a better but cheaper build that would be awesome.

The mods won't be demanding mods at all, I'm not looking for texture mods or anything like that. I'm looking more at small mods that add the extra few bits in, nothing demanding.

The Resolution will be 1680x1050.
