Replacing Old PC

[Egitel]

Just like the title says. Getting a new PC for the first time in 6 years, and I understand what all the numbers and what not mean, but I have no frame of reference for comparing GPU vs GPU, etc. when it comes to the performance of games, since on this one I've not played more than WoW and FFXIV (which this PC has a hard time running), sooo just wondering, would this computer be able to run Battlefield 4 and other graphically intense games on high settings with decent FPS? (Not that it's incredibly important but the computer I'm replacing is a Dell XPS 410, with the Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4, so yeah, definitely overdue)

I forgot to also add, I like to do streaming and recording with Fraps, and just wanna make sure this will still be able to do that. On my current PC I can on LoL/DotA and WoW, but definitely not anything more intense.

That build is very poorly optimized. Randomly high end parts mixed with randomly low end parts. Buying individual parts will net you much higher performance for $1230. Follow the sticky at the top of the forum and update the OP so we can help you further.

That's not a bad combo if you're streaming, but I'd go for a higher end GPU, namely 770.

Which sticky are you referring to? The "Want help with your build," one? And sorry, I've really never built a PC (I just understand what the different parts do and where they go lol) so I'm not sure which parts are low end, or are a poor match, etc.

$150 more than the linked build for much greater streaming performance:

With this build here, it's going to sound silly, but my budget is pretty much that exact $1230. This is a birthday gift from someone else and they saw that bundle. Removing the SSD gets me where I need to be, but that shouldn't be too big a deal, right? And it's something I can just add later? I mean the SSD is used primarily for just starting up frequent programs quickly, yeah?

Also, thanks a bunch for going out of your way to put a build together. Very much appreciated.

Okay, so here's the build I've come up with since then. I removed the SSD drive, as I can just buy another later, with my own money, and I changed the case to the one from that first bundle (I just liked the case better, and it had more fans, etc) and I changed the RAM to 2 sticks of 8GB, instead of 4 of 4GB. Figured that would allow me to have an easier time of upgrading to 32GB down the road. Anyway, the total price came out to $30 cheaper than that first bundle, with the better video card, the liquid cooling from your build, etc. Is this looking better?

Not too shabby! I could conceivably mention the Corsair Graphite 230T, as it contains three 120mm fans and it gets the build to under $1230. It is, however, orange rather than red.

EDIT: it seems that if you do go for the Graphite 230T, you won't be able to fit in an AIO water cooler, which is a shame.

Ah, okay. That's alright, this build here works for me! Thanks guys so much for the help, very much appreciated!
