But srsly. I just bought a new computer in July.
I'm pretty sure it's an HP, Intel, Windows 8, 18" Touch Screen shit and it's able to handle BF4 no problem.
Not sure on the graphics card as I'm taking a poop, but I could look that up and let you know.
It was like $750 for it. |

| Do some quick research on google for "2014 gaming pc builds" if you want to do the custom built route. You can also do this for individual parts. |

| If you're not interested in custom built, then check out a local computer store and you can probably buy a pre-built PC with 0% interest for a year which is nice. |

First of all, what is your budget?
Also, are you looking to be able to just play those games on near minimum settings or do you want to run them on maximum settings?
If you are going down the custom built route, I would recommend finding a graphics card as well as cpu that fits your needs first then look for compatible boards, and go from there.
I personally recommend hardware with higher bus speeds.
Newegg is a pretty good place to start. While resources such as http://www.notebookcheck.net/ are pretty good for finding out which cards will yield what kind of fps.
Good luck!
