Also, what kind of controller is used for gaming computers or is it better to just use the keyboard and mouse? 

 

 

[Deflagratio]

Are you just building the tower, or do you need a display too? If you have an operating system you can reuse from an older build (Win7 Or higher obviously, XP is now defunct) that'd help too. Do you plan to self-build or go through a site like Ibuypower/Alienware?

 

Either way, 1300.00 as a budget should get you a powerhouse of a machine but these details can let people know how far to stretch that budget.

[Fidite Nemini]

Whether you use a controller or mouse/keyboard is up for personal preference. Since you need a keyboard and a mouse anyway to get the PC running, you might aswell try it out and find out for yourself how you like it.

 

K/M brings a couple advantages over controllers, notably control speed and a magnitude of keybinding benefits over the limited oiptions on a controller, but not everyone uses all that potential.

 

 

As for hardware recommendations, is that 1300$ budget for everything (peripherals, monitor, OS and rig), or just for the rig? Also, exactly what kind of $ are we talking about (Canadian, Australian, etc.)? Local prices can differ wildly depending on VATs and it's hard to make recommendations within your budget limits if we don't know exactly where to look.

Don't. Just don't.

Honestly I'd like an answer to this question too. I'm open to building an affordable gaming rig. Suggestions?

Same question to you as I posed to the TO.

 

We can only start advising when we have a sufficient picture to frame our recommendations in.

1300$? Sounds powerful. At least in the US, thanks to 1€=1$ conversion you wouldn't be that happy in Europe...

[RoboticWater]

My new build is around $1300 if you take off the other 780ti and downgrade to a i5 (downgrading the CPU shouldn't affect performance very much):

Here it is

 

Unfortunately, my build assumes you have a few parts that I already own so you'll need to add a hard drive a,d a CPU cooler to that.

Samsung SSD

Hyper 212

A PSU

 

 

I would recommend looking around PC Part Picker's completed builds and see if you find something you like.

 

Also, I'd hold off on getting your build right away. NVidia is supposedly releasing their new series of cards (800 series) and those have been rumored to be ceaper and more powerful than the 700 series.

 

As for controlers:

A good ol' fashioned Xbox 360 controller has never let me down, but a Sidewinder and G500 combo is my personal preference.

Depends if you want a desktop or a laptop. I personnaly use an MSI gaming laptop, and it's really cool stuff.

 

You can't upgrade like you would with a desktop computer, but I tend to buy a new computer every 3/4 years, so it's like an upgrade, sort of

 

Anyway, be sure to buy something that can run Battlefield 4 (same engine than DAI), and you should be fine.

 

Keyboard and mouse worked well for DAO and DA2.

Just use your X360 controller if you prefer it over kb+m depending on the game.

I wouldn't take that CPU. It is simply not necessary. The few FPS more here and there you're going to get with that thing aren't worth that much. This would enable you to buy a small SSD for your OS while you could keep your old drives.

CPU tip: Intel Xeon E3-1231v3

 

Roughly the same price as an Intel Core i5 4690K, but comes with hyperthreading. It can also get overclocked to some degree, but to be real, most people do not overclock their hardware and stock for stock, this is the best performance value you can get on the CPU market right now.

[Brogan]

get a nice fast SSD.  With that budget, you could get a 1TB EVO and not even bother with a HDD.

Yea, i already have my storage squared away on my current build. I thought I might as well go over-board on the CPU just to future-proof it (though, it's likely a bit too much).

That thread right there has all the info you need. Great selection of parts to choose from in the recommended builds list. You don't have to be tied down a column. Mix and match what you like. 

 

It's hard to fully recommend you anything without more details. Is it a pure gaming rig? Will you overclock? Does the budget include accessories etc.

If you wanna go overboard, Haswell-E comes out in a few months

I'm guessing he might need some kind of storage. Storage locked in. Reading rainbow.

 

Also I'd say 650w is kinna pushing it for the 770. 750 will do 'im.

I like that build but    asus  ROG gtx  760 4gb is   320 dollars and its alot better deal if you ask me

I run a 780 with a liquid cooling and about 6 fans on 650w. It'll be fine.

Plus OP already has storage

650W is entirely sufficient for any single GPU system, even heavily overclocked systems. You only need more wattage if you aim to build multi-GPU setups. It is also detrimental to use PSU with too high wattage output compared to system power draw, because efficiency will suffer.

My only concern with this one is the VRAM on that 770. 2GB might wear a bit thin with newer titles.

 

I think WatchDog's highest settings require at least 3GB (but then again, that game is all over the place in terms of performance)

2GB VRAM is more than enough for up to 1440p resolutions. DirectX VRAM usage tops out at around 1.5GB, the rest is preloaded assets or leftovers, practically datajunk.

 

Only Mantle can actually use more VRAM and for that you require AMD GPUs, which historically come with more VRAM to begin with.

 

watch_dogs in particular is a very bad example, because the game is suffering from insane video memory leaks and no amount of VRAM can solve that problem.

[Gruntburner]

Stick with a keyboard and mouse IMO. Better precision and is faster.

 

Here is all you need for building a gaming PC:

Looks like you could be in the "outstanding" range, depending on what you actually get.

 

And I think it is safe to assume that whatever the requirements for Battlefield 4 are, what with them being on the same engine and all (though how intensive it will be is quite variable). Keeping in mind that Battlefield 4 was an intentional graphics intensive game, here are the requirements:

Yeah, with your budget you should be able to run most games rather well.

Re: Alienware --

 

I'll also be needing a new computer soon and figure I'll just get a gaming one for DA:I. I'm ignorant about computers and certainly can't build one myself but I was originally eyeing Alienware just because of name recognition frankly. What's wrong with Alienware exactly? Someone stop me from making a huge mistake!
