    Build Help, dunno what to get? 1,100 Budget

    Budget: 1100$-1200$
    Resolution: 2560x1440
    Games / Settings Desired: Battlefield 4 High-ultra settings (More so just consistent high fps on high-ultra settings) WoW, GW2
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Photoshop, sometimes I record for games and edit.
    Country: Canada
    Parts that can be reused: Win 7, DVD-Drive, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse
    Do you need an OS? No
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? No

    I only need like 500gb HDD, i've been out of the computer life for awhile since I got a new job so I wanna upgrade but I don't know anything about the new parts but i've heard some good stuff about the new R9 AMD Cards..

    Can someone help me out?

    Any ideas? I'm stumped on what GPU/CPU I should get to power that resolution...
    If the PC doesnt run BF4 ultra right away im not going to cutt, I just want GW2 and WoW to be able to be maxxed somewhat.

    Something along these lines should work for you, GPU is a placeholder since you mentioned you might want one of the new R9 cards.

    Also included a SSD as they are severely underestimated on how much they boost your load/boot times. 120GB SSD should give you enough room for BF4, WoW and GW2 and maybe a few others.

    If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
    of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density.

    In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.

    tielknight´s build is pretty much what you should be aiming for. however i played a little around with it and if you do want to stream or fraps battlefield4 on ultra settings and edit that later on, you could go for the i7, but thats really up to how often you will do that.

    edit.: just saw you want to play on 1440p. you may want to add a more powerful gpu for future crossfire. cant see you playing on ultra in battlefield 4 @ 1440p with a single gpu in that price range.
