(I play a lot of bf3 but looking forward to bf4 ultra settings)

Answer
In all honesty, if your main focus is gaming, the i7-4770K will not help you with your FPS over the i5-4670K. Reason being is that hyper-threading does not take great advantage in almost every game on the market to date.If I were you i would get the 4670K and spend the extra $100 you would spent on the 4770K and get a better GPU, as PC gaming today is more GPU intensive then it is CPU intensive. All in all everything else looks great for your configuration of parts.

Hope this helped you,

Should I buy a gaming pc in parts or all at once?

I'm trying to build a gaming PC that's around $1400.00. I'm on a tight budget so i was thinking i could buy it in parts. This would allow me to splurge a little on better parts. Problem is the return policy is only good for 30 days so if something's broken, I've just got a bunch of expensive paper weights lying around. This is my first time doing this and I'm curious as to how it's normally done. Any suggestions?

Answer
$1400 isn't a "tight" budget for a gaming PC. In fact, I would consider a budget over $1k quite roomy. A common midrange build goes for around $750. The tightest budget gaming build I ever worked on was ~$500.

So with $1400, buy it all at once. There is absolutely no reason to do otherwise.

Here's a ~$1200 build:

Note that there's enough extra budget space to a combo of any of the following:
>SSD, Bigger case, higher end motherboard, water cooling, more RAM, bigger HDD, or better GPU (though the GTX 670 is already the second fastest single-GPU card on the market).

what are the most important things for a gaming PC?

I'm ordering a gaming PC in individual parts, and i would like to know what parts should i pay MORE for to get my computer to run smoothly, play in HD, all that good stuff, ect.

Answer
The Processor/CPU

The CPU is the most visible component in the eyes of most buyers. Most gaming computers are labeled â often multiple times â with the brand of processor inside them. This would lead you to believe that the processor is the most important component in a gaming computer. It isnât â that title goes to the video card â but it does come in second.

The Video Card

Choosing a great video card for your gaming computer is very important. Video cards are the only component in a computer that is specifically designed to display high-resolution, high-detailed graphics. Even the most powerful computer will be a terrible gaming computer if it does not have a good video card.


RAM

Many gaming computer manufacturers will offer âhigh performanceâ memory as an option. Donât fall for this. Memory speed has nothing to do with gaming performance.


Hard Drive

As with memory, the hard drive you choose wonât have much impact on gaming performance. It certainly wonât increase your framerates in games. Instead, the only difference youâll see will be in loading times.

How much cheaper are pc and laptops from china compared to australia or us.?

I am planning on getting a gaming laptop or buying gaming pc parts from china but i want to know around how much cheaper they are in china compared to Australia and USA.

Answer
Not much cheaper at all. However, there is no sales tax in China.


People who talk about quality of computer has NO knowledge about computer whatsoever.

Dell, HP, etc. do NOT produce computers. They buy CPUs, RAM sticks, hard drives, motherboards, video cards, sound cards, tower cases, power supplies, then put them together in under 20 min. each and resell at a rip off prices. It's like you buy the hotdog, and buns, and catchup, then put them together. It doesn't matter if it's your mom or your dad put them together. The quality is the same!

It's the same companies who make these computer parts.
The only two major CPU makers are Intel and AMD.
The only two major video cards makers are Nvidia and ATI.(ATI was bought by AMD. Intel also make some onboard video but nothing high end)
Hard drive companies - Western Digital, etc.
Sound card companies - Creative Labs, etc.
Motherboard companies - Asus, Abit, etc.
etc. etc.

Whether the computer is sold in the U.S. or in China, they all contain the SAME parts from the SAME companies listed above! That's the reason why the prices aren't much different in China or in the U.S.

I don't buy completed computers. I buy parts and put them together which is EXACTLY what Dell etc. does! (they buy parts from above companies, and put them together. Like I said before, it takes only 20 min with 2 hands and a screw driver) Only difference is that I put BETTER(I don't pair up fast CPU with slow memory and onboard video to create bottlenecks like Dell does) parts in there according to my needs. In the end, with the same amount of money, I build BETTER computers than Dell can offer. OR, With the same hardware parts, I save lots of money than buying from Dell.

By the way, I've been building computers for the last eight years. ALL video cards and motherboards I bought in the U.S. have labels of "Made in China". It only means China did the production. The technology and specifications are still belong to the above companies. By the way, it also means the LARGE MAJOR portion of the profit also goes to these companies instead of Chinese manufacturers in case you think China "stole" the money.
P.S. The founders of Nvidia and ATI were both Chinese. Memory chips were also invented by Chinese. All motherboard companies are in fact Taiwanese companies, whose population are 98% Chinese, and their productions are always in mainland China. Intel chips usually are being produced in Malaysia. I also had AMD chip bought in the U.S. as "made in China".

They're not, if anything they're more expensive for similar hardware.
