Recommended Parts to build a low, mid, and high end Gaming PC for Titanfall
For the month of March we wanted to do another Recommended Parts for a Gaming PC. With Titanfall ready to drop on March 11th it gives us the perfect excuse and enough time to build a gaming PC in time for the launch of Titanfall. My goal when thinking this up was to build a gaming PC that would handle the recommended requirements to play the game. The only problem with this is that Respawn Entertainment hasn’t released those specs yet so I am going to go off the official minimum requirements and ballpark it.
| Titanfall Minimum System Requirements | |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows Vista SP2 64-bit / Windows 7 SP1 64-bit / Windows 8 64-bit |
| CPU | AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz / Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz |
| RAM | At least 4 GB |
| Hard Drive Space | At least 50 GB of free space |
| GPU | AMD Radeon HD 4770 with 512MB RAM or better / Nvidia GeForce 8800GT with 512MB RAM or better |
As you can see from Titanfall’s minimum system requirements is that if you have even thought about upgrading your PC in the past 3-4 years then you should be able to run the game at low settings. Looking at these requirements below I am going to list what I think a ballpark recommended requirements would be.
| Clixxer’s Titanfall Recommended Requirements | |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 64-bit Editions |
| CPU | AMD Phenom II Quad Core / Intel Core i5/i7 Quad Core |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| Hard Drive Space | At least 50 GB of free space |
| GPU | AMD Radeon HD 7750 or better / Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 or better |
The above recommended system requirements shouldn’t be hard to match. With all the deals going on it should be easy to build a sub $500 system on the low end to handle Titanfall. All components were selected as of 3/5/2014. Prices may vary or if you find a better deal (shipping and tax) from another store.

Recommended Parts for a Gaming PC: Budget Titanfall System
To build a gaming PC and keep yourself under a certain budget can be tedious but I believe this build below using the AMD A10-7850K APU should work just fine. I recommended atleast a AMD Radeon HD 7750 and the A10-7850K is about the equivalent of the AMD Radeon HD 7770 or possibly the 7790 with some overclocking. This PC is a basic no frills PC that you will need to use your old version of Windows or spend more money if you can’t acquire one. I also am not including any optical drive to keep this build under $500. Since the last time I used my optical drive was well over a year ago and manufacturers are coming out with cases (such as the NZXT H440) it is not a necessity.
With that being said, here are the parts to build a budget gaming PC

Recommended Parts for a Gaming PC: Mid Range Titanfall System
To build a gaming PC that price wise is considered mid range but should give you great frames per second can be tricky. The biggest question that always sticks out to me is do I dedicate for money to a CPU/motherboard or to the GPU. Since mid range PCs can be used for multiple task I am going to try and balance out them both and keep this build around $1,000. As with the budget build I am not including a OS with the cost since most people will have access to a version of Windows Vista or 7 they can use without having to buy a full version of Windows 8 or 8.1.
Here are the parts we chose for a mid range gaming PC
Recommended Parts for a Gaming PC: High End Titanfall System
For the recommended parts for a gaming PC, a high end Titanfall system the simple goal was to build the best system I can around $1500 but I ended up at about $1600. I could have easily gotten under my $1,500 goal by eliminating the SSD but I didn’t want to in this case or downgrade to 120 GB from 250 Gb. With that in mind what I did was use the basis of the mid range build and upgrade the graphics card and case for better performance and overall cooling.

Feel free to let us know about any of the recommended part for a gaming PC we have suggestion in this article. While none of these builds have peripherals included, for a core system they have a good performance/cost ratio.
