A lil' offtopic but any of you built a budget PC recently. I'm looking to build a budget PC for my GF; cheap, but able to last 4 years with some light gaming.


What's your budget?

Not really set yet but I expect <£500

It's getting old now but still does the job:

Core i5 2500k @ 4.5GHZ with Antec 620 Closed loop cooler
2 x GTX 560ti in SLI @ 950 MHz
Asrock P67 Extreme Mobo
8GB G.Skill DDR3 ram @ 1600MHz
WD 500GB HDD with 60GB SSD in SRT mode
27" Benq Monitor

Is that the 120Hz BenQ montior?

I wish. 60Hz for now. The 120 will be part of my next upgrade. Hopefully I'll actually be able to push 120fps in most games by then.

My Modem is faster than that. No really, it has 256Mb of ram and a 600mhz CPU.

But I assume you are joking at any rate. :P

While it's true metro LL looked amazing, have you seen the textures? They are they are pretty low res in some parts compared to the overall quality of other aspects. That's intentional. nvidia payed them them to optimize for nvidia cards, and it would be a pretty poor optimization job if they couldn't max it out with their flag ship card and amd could. 

The textures in Last Light are, arguably, the game's strongest feature. The use of tessellation and other applied sciences on the work is phenomenal. Every game has a few low res textures (in fact, Battlefield 3 is full of them), but no other game has as high of quality texture work as Last Light. Go take a look a GeForce's website, they give a full look at the game. It's the most advanced on the PC.

I've played through the game, and I love the metro series, but the lighting is definitely the best looking part of that game. It's also true that it's one of the best looking games out there. It's probably a debate between that and crysis 3, but they cheaped out on a lot of the textures. And yes I have also played bf3 (I don't see how bf3 having them disproves anything I've said) and seen the beautful 2d sprite trees. 

You missed the point entirely (especially adding BF3, which wasn't really the center of it). Again, every game has flat tetxures, so bringing that up is pointless. Every game doesn't treat their textures like Last Light does, either. Lighting is a strong suit, sure, but doesn't require the extra muscle to run it like its textures do.

In regards to Battlefield 4, you still haven't provided anything that proves your theory. I, on the other hand, gave you solid specs. 


So according to your evidence (the "recommended" settings), a 620 with 1gb ram could max out bf4. And saying that it will use less than 2gb is just stupid when many games last year were getting close (yes, even on beloved nvidia cards). BF3 can use 2 at times, which basically confirms the BF4 will. If you look at any evidence, you'll see that it's going to use more. Especially in a 3 monitor set up.

The memory requirements for Battlefield 3 are a non issue.
The performance difference between a Radeon 6950 1gb vs a Radeon 6950 2gb is non-existent in Battlefield 3, seems the bottleneck isn't the memory amount with that specific game and I really don't see that changing with Battlefield 3.5, er.. 4 either.

The only time you will see positive gains moving from a 1gb card to a 2gb card is if you are throwing insane amounts of Anti-Aliasing, or using a 1440/1600/120hz/Eyefinity/Surround display set-up in Battlefield 3.
But you shouldn't be using 1gb cards with such displays anyway as high-end cards have been 2gb+ for the last few years.
