Need budget build for BF4 @60fps

[Gizmo j]

I want a build that can reach 60fps in BF4 on 1080p max settings but I dont need anti aliasing and stuff like that.

I'm talking about multiplayer not campaign, I know they have performance differences.

It doesn't have to be a "stable" 60fps, I dont mind if the frames drop to 40 every once in a while, just not frequently.

I dont have a legitimate budget but I dont want to spend more then what is necessary for my performance needs, for example if I can get 60fps with a $500 build then please DO NOT recommend a $900 build because its more "future proof" or it "looks cooler".

I want a 1tb HDD

Thanks

For $500 it can be done by buying a 2nd hand computer and installing a higher end video card into it. However you would also likely have to upgrade the PSU as well to support the video card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220353 = $270 ... this leaves $230 free for $500 budget.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016  =$40  ... this leaves $190 free for $500 budget.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150687  = $190 ... This card req 500watt PSU minimum.

This assumes that you already own display to go to this display setting and already own the BF4 game.

*** This is a REALLY TIGHT build at $500, and its seriously cutting corners to squeeze out as much GPU as possible to get the fps you need, however the APU may bottleneck the cards full potential. This APU meets the system requirements according to Core 2 Duo which scores around the same as this APU. BF4 system requirements show minimum of Core 2 Duo even though its suggested to have a quadcore.

There is no guarantee that you will get 60fps constant at that resolution with this hardware as for the APU/CPU is not high end. If you had more money to throw at this you'd be better off... or if you have a prior system you are upgrading and keeping everything but need a new Motherboard, CPU, RAM, 1TB HDD, and Video card, but of which already have OS, Case, and Power Supply that is like 600watts, then more money ( around $440 ) can be allocated to the Motherboard, CPU, RAM, Video Card, and a $60 1TB HDD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339

Hopefully you didnt think that a display could get squeezed in as well in just $500 budget unless you can find a free one. I almost didnt bother assisting with this only because I thought it couldnt be done, but I figured I'd take on the challenge of piecing this together out of mere curiosity if it could be done by going with 2nd hand system. With brand new, it definately wouldnt happen unless you find a clearance box and get lucky on finding the other components needed to fit within $500.

Hello its me the thread starter.

Now I'm thinking that  when playing 64 players I dont need max setings@60fps, That would be reserved for 32players and under. For 64 players I only need high@40fps

Also I was thinking about this build, would it be enough?

This is better because you have more than $500 to allocate with what you suggested for hardware.

Only concern I have is with this:

Case: Rosewill FBM-02 MicroATX Mini Tower Case

I bought a cheap Rosewill mATX case and it was really tight inside and I was using a lower end video card. The plastic face to the computer also was cheap weak plastic and I had to apply black electrican tape to the face to bond it at the seam to the metal chasis. This case was not well designed because the CPU heatsink was very close to the HDD bay, and so I ran into a chicken or egg situation where it was motherboard or HDD first, and no matter the order you try to place one in first before the other they conflict for space. I ended up bending the metal tabs that the HDD rests on in the HDD bay to be able to slide the HDD in at a 45 degree angle and then once it was in place the 4 holes lined up with the HDD and was screwed down into place.

Looks good, just a few parts I'd change:

MSI are a budget brand of motherboard (As are ASRock) - I'd recommend you get a board from the likes of Gigabyte or ASUS.  I'd also really recommend you get a board with SATA III and ideally USB 3.0 as well, your current one doesn't and not having SATA III will really limit the speed of an SSD if you add one in the future.  Something like this is much better assuming you are okay with ATX rather than MicroATX: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga970ads3p

Don't mismatch your RAM as they then cannot run in Dual Channel mode and therefore will be slower.  Get either 4 or 8gb through two matched sticks (2x2gb or 2x4gb).

That power supply is a very basic unit, something like this would be much better and is not too much more expensive: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Other than those few changes, looks like a good build for the price.
