My $1400 build. [Plays BF Ultra]

[Katniss]

My build cost me around $1400 I believe.

CPU: AMD FX-8320

GPU: Evga Geforce GTX 770

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0

Case: Cool Master HAF XM

Heatsink: Cool Master Hyper 212

Memory: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2x 4GB)

Storage: Samsung 120GB 840 EVO SSD
Seagate 1TB Internal HDD
This isn't it but the closest to it as I can't find mine on Newegg or the place I actually bought it from for $50. Can't find my HDD or one similar to it for $50...)

Monitor: ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 144Hz

Optical Drive: This isn't on the website but I bought it for $15 at the store as it wasn't even boxed but came in a plastic baggy. Lol

Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W

This plays BF4 Ultra easy with no lag besides my damn Wifi. Bf3 on ultra is a joke on this along with any game besides these. If you play bf3,bf4, Payday 2, or any f2p game, hit me up.

My $600 secondary rig runs BF3 on Ultra.

Pretty nice build, though you should've opted for the 8350 and dual 7870's.

[Katniss]

No reason for the 8350 as I can OC mine to 4.3 easily. No point on spending another $50 for nothing. I'll be getting 2 780s soon as I'll be upgrading around Christmas.

i will get a fx 8350 very soon to open everything on ultra

Isn't Crossfire still worse than SLI? I heard it still has pretty bad micro-stutter problems.

I have one. Just a 120gb samsung at the moment.

​Naw. AMD's new drivers pretty much fix the micro-stutter issues.

But is it better than SLI, 'cause I'm debating over whether I should save some money and go for SLI or pay extra for some performance.

​It's not really a debate of SLI vs Crossfire, but of who has the better card for your budget.

So to you there's no downside to Crossfire vs SLI? If that's the case then I know what I'm going to be doing with my money...

They both perform generally the same, with no big differences on either side.
​It's usually a better idea to go with a single power card though.

But if you were to add another card down the road you wouldn't really care if it were a Crossfire or SLI setup?

​Not at all.

Thanks for all you're help, looks like I have a good idea of the changes I'm gonna make.
