whats the best build i can get for $400 or less?

[Pecon]

Having 270kb/s isn't very fun at all. Especially when other people want to watch netflix, then it becomes impossible to do anything else on the internet.

I can make one up for you. AMD or Intel? (I recommend AMD for more budget builds, Intel if you plan to really expand in the future)

AMD

Is the Asus 780 better then the Asus R9 290X and how good would they perform on like max brick counts with ultra SS on very high or max (which ever is better)?

[Georges]

Dude, I can run SS max on my $100 7770, you'll be just fine with a 780 or R9 290x

Ultra SS or regular/optimised SS and on what brick count with what fps?

Want to opt for more storage space on a hard drive, or do you have a spare hard drive to store stuff on, so you could afford to go with an SSD (which I guarantee more than doubles your performance, it's phenomenal. Issue is you'll only have 32 or 64GB of space)

And last, do you need to include an OS in the price?

[Georges]

Idk, I just set the settings all the way up on everything, and I can go to basically any server and get a perfectly smooth FPS. For example, Kong123's Deathrace plays perfectly fine. As for actual FPS, idk, I don't trust the FPS mod, because I'm obviously getting higher that 23, which is what it's saying my average is as I type this.

Thanks now I know the r9 290x will be perfect.

are you just planning on just playing blockland? Because if so, that really would be a waste of money, I suppose you might change your mind later, but if you just plan on playing blockland, don't get that.

I'm playing Blockland, Minecraft, SimCity (older one's too), basic internet browsing, Blender ( I want to start and try to model) & emulation along with trying out steam games if I find any good ones.
