Why does everyone who asks this have a system that's massively better than mine?

This ;_;

*sigh* well it was a good run 570. But you need to be replaced. Bah.

I think I'll pick up a GTX880 (or whatever it's called) and hope my i5 2500k can handle DAI.  My 570 will then have lasted me 3 years, which is excellent.

I intend to get an Xbox 1 (my brother is getting a PS4) so I should be good.

I got a i5 2500k I'm not that concerned about it worse comes to worse I'll have to overclock.

If it's not good enough my tears

And yeah getting the lastest GTX card to hopefully pick up the slack for my ram and processor.

Considering Xbox One is maxing out at 720p for BF4, any computer built in the last five years with medium grade parts should work well enough.

Ugh, no way I'm getting it for PC this time. Just shelled out 260 bucks for a GTX 760 but those BF4 specs are saying my CPU is gettin' old. Got an AMD Phenom II. That means a new motherboard as well, and that's going to be a damned costly overhaul. Gonna wait a year and weigh my options.

You should be fine with a Phenom II. Particularly together with a GTX 760.

And motherboard and cpu is not a costly overhaul (just don't buy Intel). Just a dam mess to get to work with everything, particularly Windows. I never do it. I build new from ground up.

Really?  That is depressing for a launch title on a console that isn't even out yet.  Yikes!!

I have
MSI 890FXA-GD70 (MS-7640)
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3400MHz
4X4 GB DDR3 Memory
1 tb hard drive that only is a 3GB/s sata(really upgrading this when I am not being lazy)
HD 7970 with the 3GB DDR5

Can I run DA:I? I don't know oh wait yes I can! OP you should be less braggy. I am simply wanted to see what asking this question was like and I have been found wanting!

Which is fine, but I have to say those 8800GTs were incredible cards.  Now, 6 years later, they're still cromulent cards (again, assuming they haven't melted).

A card that regularly runs at 80°C is not, perhaps, the best long-term solution, but I was amazed at their performance for the price I paid, and I was amazed at how long it took before games started to strain them.

I agree. I've used by 8800GTX card for every game this generation of consoles and it hasn't steered me wrong yet. Some games were too much for in the sense I had to get rid of things like particle effects... but before I upgraded I had a 1920x1080 monitor and it still handled that resolution with quite reasonably quality and framerates.

DA:I's visuals are not even close to BF4. I wouldn't use that game as a benchmark.

Hmm From what I remember they still have something like a year of development so those said visuals might get better to the lvl of BF4. Anyway what to the people that know something more about hardware think about my planned PC build?:

-Graphics card : Radeon HD 7970 or Radeon HD 7870
-Processor: AMD FX-8350
-RAM: 8GB or 16GB

So how does that sound?

I'm confused.
Building a new desktop PC that will serve you very well with games for like 3 years onward, costs like $800, with licenced Windows. Monitor/keyboard/mouse not included. And that's been pretty static for awhile, I think my last 3 PCs have fallen in roughly that cathegory.

Why this $2500 and above nonsense?    ... - Oh, my G... - you're not buying laptops, are you?

There are places in the world where your $800 winds up being closer to 10K. Check your privelige people.

I don't know anything about AMD processors, but that graphics card and that memory sounds fine, for the moment.

I dislike graphics "hoes," but I have to say, if you're planning on keeping that for a while, go with 16 GB. 8 GB is starting to become the requirement for games, so 16 will give you a little breathing room.

Hmm thx for the tip

[Allan Schumacher]

Just as an observer, with Fall 2014 there's still a lot of time. I wouldn't necessarily jump out and buy anything today if your only goal is to get something for DAI.

Whatever you get today will be cheaper in a year. Get something sooner only if you feel you need to for games between now and DAI.

There must be some kind of misunderstanding here. Nothing requires 8GB RAM. To do so, would, for a start, absolutely have to be a 64-bit binary...
EDIT: Actually, you're right. The hi-performance recommendations for new games are starting to cite 8 GB.

...anyway:
But do get 16 GB ram. Windows64 can cache a lot of your harddrive in RAM, and that will make your system much faster and more responsive. It's common among SSD-advocates to believe that it's the SSD that is responsible for the performance, but on a 64-bit system, SSDs mainly speed up boot, system updates, and installation and startups of big application packages. IMO, if you're on a strict budget, you can do without that luxury. Big files, for instance, are read and written fast to ordinary HDs as well. It's when it's about loading a very large amount of small files that a SSD comes into its own. ...And on 32-bit systems, of course. But no-one should buy or build a such today.

The CPU is fine. Do not take any steps whatsoever towards OC'ing it. It'll run much cooler and silent with all the standard clocking functions of the mainboard and OS. On general, everyday code, that CPU is a beast. Only the latest and greatest Core i7s will beat it.
When it comes to games benchmarks, the picture is somewhat different. But don't worry. You should have a sizeable margin anyway, and my guess is that the future games are going to come to meet the CPU. Come to meet more cores, for one thing.

The FX-CPUs floating point hardware resources are sort of halved, compared to the previous Phenom II. This is what sometimes makes it come out weak in common benchmarks (which are not representational anyway). They did that to be able to double the number of cores. And the lurking idea was that that sort of processing should move out into the GPU-resources anyway. And I think that will happen. Particularly now that the nexgen consoles will have a similar architecture.

It doesn't work that way. I have a card, more memory, better CPU than the Xbox 360, but Splinter Cell Blacklist still looks and runs better on a console than it does my computer. Or most games coming out right about now, I'd imagine.

Except they've figured out how to optimize for the past generation.

It's obvious that they havent for the new one, if they can't even get a big launch title to work at 1080p.

The BF4 requirements aren't that much higher than BF3 anyways, just use that game as a benchmark.

Indeed.  I know my machine isn't going to be adequate for DAI, but  I don't plan to replace it until next summer.

You're also comparing a game that still has another year of development to one that's out in a few weeks...so...yea. The only gameplay footage we've seen is in a pre-alpha state. I think it's safe to say it will look a lot better by the time it comes out.

If you mean an Ipad, there are apparently already games for those.
