As the title says I'm in need of a build that can play planetside 2 in Ultra settings. I have no experience in computer components so please bless me with your expertise! My budget is upto $1000 USD thanks!
My advice would be to buy one - but $1000 may just suffice for the Graphics cards.
But if you really want to build, start with an AMD CPU and mobo. Much ckeaper than Intel - because your budget is tight. For 'ultra' you'll have to pay ultra.
Give these guys a go with your budget you can make up a system that will fit your needs i doubt you need something super powerful for that game http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/
I would suggest for the GPU R9 280X or 780SC OR CLASSIFIED
CPU AMD FX8320 / 8gb Corsair Vengeance 1866
Samsung Evo 256 GB SSD 1TB Western Digital caviar green
700 watt corsair HX series PSU
Thermaltake water 2.0 professional for CPU cooling
Case that is up to you MB i would go with Sabertooth r 2.0 for the FX CHIP
THIS IS A SMOOTH POWERFUL BUILD WHAT EVER ELSE YOU NEED ADD IT
Actually you beat me to suggesting AMDwhich you are spot on and no you didn't miss anything Wolfgang you are on target as usual there are 3 different Sabertooths for AMD 1st gen 2nd gen R2.0 and 3rd gen with PCI-E 3.0
The price is around 189.00 to 200.00 much cheaper then the Intel Armored version
If you have enough money for this one you will be kicking some major tail but a bit of advice i would mod the cooler Customize Holiday Mega Deal Z87-I7 Gaming PC
Here they are it comes with a water cooler but i would edit the OS to win 7 64bit just saying 8.1 windows
Thanks for the specs. Those I saw but did not think that they were it. I need not know what's NOT in it, but what is - e.g. all the ports.
Well, if they sell their stuff that way, I guess it is good enough.
