building a pc for this game

[Gamemako]

Don't listen to me? A little arrogant are we? More like sub-par under $800 with cheap and awful parts from terrible manufactures.

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.

//EDIT:

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.

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).

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.

Actually I asked for max settings at 60fps and another budget comparison to see how worth it is to save and go all out. I also asked for builds but I should clarify that I mean from the ground up, not prebuilt or barebones. Keys setup is good, would kill the game curious to see his benchmark score on max with it but you can close to his build for about 200 cheaper, I just want to see what others come up with

You can build a comparable machine to that for about $150 cheaper. Find the cheapest mATX board you can buy and some junker $20 case, get an FX-6300, CX430, 8GB of whatever RAM, and drop a 7870 in there. Fill out with cheap 500GB HDD. Tada, better for cheaper.

//EDIT: Note that I'm not particularly advising going with a junk board or anything, just making something more comparable, for what it's worth.

I paired a 650 Ti for the fact that I got it for free when I bought my rig. For this game and all games coming out minus BF4 I can play everything max settings, with no framerate drops at all. For my budget of $1,200 i was able to cut under it by not buying the 770 like I wanted, and it's worth waiting for. Black Friday sale will hopefully be as good as last years on newegg and I can get the 770 for $250 to $300. I bought better parts for one gfx card that pulls less for a reason. This rig will be fully decked out with in a year or so, why buy multiple parts in the future when I can just get it all done now, and just upgrade slower when parts become cheaper by the time I need them.
