| 1366943 | 2014-02-06 02:27:00 | Hi guys, I have acquired $600 to spend on a PC upgrade. My current system is this: Bitfenix Prodigy, i5 3470, 8GB G.Skill gaming RAM, 120gb SSD and 500GB HDD, 7850 OC. Want to play battlefield 4 with good settings (My monitor is 1280 x 1024) Thanks guys. |

| 1366944 | 2014-02-06 02:30:00 | Send it to me and I'll get an SSD and a new wireless router. (You didn't specify that it was for YOUR upgrade :D). |

| 1366945 | 2014-02-06 02:40:00 | $350 GPU, $250 1080p monitor. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1366946 | 2014-02-06 02:40:00 | Well if you want to play bf4 at good settings then a new gpu is the way to go but you could always look into getting some peripherals. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1366947 | 2014-02-06 02:51:00 | Hopefully they've fix all the bugs in BF4. It had a lot of bugs and crashed often. And a lot of people were complaining about it last year | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1366948 | 2014-02-06 03:24:00 | 350 on gpu? Like what? A 760 or 270X or maybe a 560 ti/460? And I can get a good monitor for about $220 | darkoverlord123 (16996) | ||
| 1366949 | 2014-02-06 03:46:00 | yeah definatly go for the monitor... but ofcourse with a higher res you will get lower fps... and a amd 270 or nvidia 760 wont be that big of a bump up from a 7850 | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1366950 | 2014-02-06 03:49:00 | Thought so, thinking of spending all of the 600 on like maybe a 680 Super Overclock or 7970 OC Windforce, then save up the 200 later | darkoverlord123 (16996) | ||
| 1366951 | 2014-02-06 06:07:00 | Chances of finding those cards new now for a decent price is pretty much non-existent. I wouldn't be paying more than $400 for a 680. At $600 you should be looking at either a GTX 770 or a R9 290. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1366952 | 2014-02-06 10:16:00 | At $600 you should be looking at either a GTX 770 or a R9 290. +1 except the 290's are still more than that. A 280X or 770 is more like it at $569 www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz However at 1280 x 1024 I'm surprised you'd even need to upgrade, I'd have expected a 7850 to handle that. Another option is a 760 @ around $420 which is what I game with currently at 1080P and it's excellent, haven't tried BF4 but this video www.youtube.com shows it running 1080P ultra at 60fps |
