    building a pc for this game

    And not sure what to build. So I'll shoot two different hypotheticals out there. Let's say you had 800 dollars to spend on a pc, no monitor or accessories needed, just the pc. What would you put in it to get the highestperformancepossible at 1080p at max settings.

    Note pretend you have no limit to money, what's the cheapest you could build a pc for that could handle this game at 1080p on max settings while maintaining 60fps. Post both builds and how much they where

    you're not gonna find much really if you plan on building it yourself for anything thats worth it less than $1,100 to $1,300 an that's with a cheap GFX 650TI Boost card (which can handle it easily). Cutting corners is not something you wanna do when building. It needs to last, but also be fully upgrade-able. BUT it appears the pc i just built is on a massive sale compared to what I paid a few months ago so here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1s6pM

    Don't listen to that guy, it's easy to build a good sub-800$ machine.

    And don't buy Windows.

    I'm at work so can't post the full build I had looked up, but very close to mine. Only I went with a cheaper case and don't need an os so I got the price down to around 800, just debating on that build or something else. Seeing if anyone had any better ideas. Only buying one pc and want the best for my buck or save more and go for the dream machine if this can't be done for 800. Do like that build though

    Don't listen to me? A little arrogant are we? More like sub-par under $800 with cheap and awful parts from terrible manufactures. Don't buy windows? That's your opinion. If you're not going to contribute a build for him, why bother posting? This post went unnoticed until I made a comment on it. You've given him nothing to go off of but your ignorant attitude.

    My build is great imo. Fully upgrade-able to the latest GFX cards, up to 32GB RAM (i see no need for it but at least the possibility is there), I threw the OS in there just because most people think in a pc build it comes with it. Some specials do but not this one. I couldn't be happier with my rig, i never heard it, ultra quiet, core temps are almost always below the norm (nice big extra fans in there I bought). Best purchase I've made.

    My best suggestion for a PC less than 800 bucks is go to best buy and grab one on sale then buy a power supply and a video card.

    Granted it's not a full build but it's under 800 bucks and includes an operating system and a warranty. Did this for my son about a year ago and he loves it.

    Obviously if you have the extra cash go with KyteStone's build. An i5 tears that amd chip in the HP apart. I might even suggest waiting a bit and going with an i7-4770k for the overclocking ability. Would be about $330 just for the chip though.

    I will have to agree with ufufu that your build is poor. You've paired a $100 650Ti Boost with $800 in other parts. You have a 750W PSU on a system which will draw less than 300W under load, and that makes no sense at all. It is not hard at all to build a sub-$800 machine with good parts, but you have to put your money where it counts.

    This is not sound advice. Do not buy a pre-built; nothing in there is worth using at all. AMD chips are fine, but they do not compete well in high-end gaming uses (i.e. $300 or more on video solution).

    GPU is the most important part for FFXIV so you need to buy a great one.

    It's a cheap solution to get 60 fps out of this game on high settings which is exactly what he asked for. It may not be ideal but as you can see by KyteStones post even a budget machine is going to be almost a grand. Also this build is tested as my son is using this exact setup and he loves it. Constant 60-80 fps while he's playing his FFXIV and GW2.
