Budget? Country?

I was on Amazon to see if there were any deals and saw an ad for the preorder that says March 31st. Has this been confirmed yet, because I thought just the other day rumors of were May 31st but was just a placeholder. If not looks pretty legit

I will try the beta because I want a new multiplayer game. Halo is really the only online shooter I have greatly enjoyed and never got tired of and it has no future so I need something new. BF4 is fun but on PC I usually go solo because I dont no anyone that really games heavily on PC and the game is just annoying when it is played that way.

The beta will be the deciding factor if I get it, though at launch is questionable because

1. I am tired of this idea that day one buyers are beta testers.

2. FFX and Dark Souls 2 come out around the same time.

You could get a FX 8350 for your mobo. I am thinking an i7 4770k(could become noticeably better in the future if hyperthreading is taken advantage of) or i5 4670k (as of now in gaming the difference is usually pretty minimal for the extra $100) CPU with probably an Asus Z87-Pro or Gigabyte z87-ud3h. I will update in a sec with Anandtech bench comparisons.

FX 8350 vs x6 1100t

FX 8350 vs i7 4770k

You can compare numerous CPUs on Anandtech and look at reviews for haswell cpus for more comparisons with a quick google search

@coreybg: that mobo is $85 there are plenty of alternatives that have x8/x8 for SLI. However if you are not going higher res multi GPU would an overkill. This will be able to do SLI. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-130-637

@coreybg:

I think you should get a GTX 760 anyways, because at 1080p it is pretty awesome and the only reason to need sli is if you decided to get 144hz monitor or 1440p (2gb is not recommended at this res). I highly suggest you don't get a cheap mobo because from what I can tell $100 (intel) and $70 (AMD)can score you x8/x8 to have SLI.

$1000 PCs for gaming should not have Ivy-Bridge E so go with an i5 4570k and a decent x87 mobo probably asrock extreme4, asus z87 pro, gigabyte z87-ud3h (there are plenty of z87 chipset mobos around $130-160 to choose just find one to your preference). This combo should only be about $400.

So that plus

RAM-$60-80

GPU- $340 GTX 770 probably Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, or MSI get the cheapest or the one you prefer

HDD- $60-70 probably Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue

PSU-$75 Get a good Seasonic PSU

Case-I had Raidmax before and they are garbage do yourself a favor and buy a quality case around $100 or get at least a cheap corsair 230t (different color options should be available)or 200r, or CM 912 all of these are $60

OS- I highly recommend Windows 8.1 $100

This is at the max $1165.

I saw the revised what PSU, case, and mobo are you getting?

Is this USD? What are you planning to do with this rig other than flight simulator x?

Isnt flight simulator x old and recommend a Pentium 4, this a old CPU and compared to any modern CPU that is nothing. If this is only for that game you are spending way to much cash
