College student. 600-800 dollars would be best. ---

Troll Subreddit, don’t ask here. Real sub: /r/battlefield\_4 As for your question, don’t expect to get BF4 to run on Ultra if you have an $800 budget. A monitor and OS is $200 alone. ---

I have an exact $850 rig… Barley goes up to ultra but can stick at ultra textures, high shaders and medium terrain. I have a i5 quad core processor, and an evga gtx 660 graphics card ($200), 6 gigs of ram and a 460 watt psu. Barely holds up power wise… But it runs battlefield 3 and 4 at 60 FPS ---

max out and low budget do not belong in the same sentence when it comes to building a PC ---

1080 res…3770K CPU, single 660ti, 8GB DDR3…I play settings at HIGH, ULTRA only gets 50-60 FPS for me. When map cycles, my SSD Hard Drive seems to get me in the map FAST and I jet to the furthest flag before I see any of my teammates even join. (FYI) ---
