I haven’t had a PC for gaming since the UT99 days, don’t want to spend an absolute fortune but I’d like something that could run BF4 on at least high settings so that I’d be able to play future games without spending too much on upgrading.
Just wondering if I could get some advice on what sort of specs I should be looking for. I’d probably go for something pre-built so if anyone could recommend something from one of these sites (or somewhere similar) all the better.
If you want to save money you should build it yourself!
I heard that BF4 is optimized for nvidia and ASUS have a good reputation. So I would recommend Asus NVIDIA GTX 770.
You don’t need the best CPU for gaming (most of the computations will happen on the graphic chipset). Go for i5.
If you want the maps to load fast you should go for a SSD. But it doesn’t affect gameplay.
After looking around at that overclockers site I wouldn’t recommend buying from them because they doesn’t show the graphic cards manufacturer when pressing the “See product options”-button. Same goes for ebuyer.com.
Building a PC is not too hard. Just put CPU, CPU cooler and ram into motherboard, put down the little stand things in the case to line up with the holes in the motherboard. Insert motherboard into case and slap some screws in the holes you lined up. Insert your hard drives and ssds and then connect power cables to motherboard and drives then just put your video card in and connect the power to it and you’re done.
