I know this is a very late reply but im playing BF4 on a 32inch 720p telly at 60 fps on high settings ,with a control pad and i don't own either next gen console .
Now i know PC purists will spawn me just as will the console community but the aim assist in BF4 on PC with a control pad is ridiculously good and i don't feel im playing at a disadvantage to those using keyboard , mouse , in short to medium short , gun fights , im ruling .
Everybody except the hardcore keyboard/mouse dudes except operating helicopters works best with controller , tanks and planes im not so sure .
Seriously , if you are already competent with a controller , plug it in and see , if your not competent with a controller , this is not going to help you . Stick with what you know .
So yeah , i brought a entry level refurbished gaming laptop with a A10-5750m and a 7600m ( not sure of exact spec but has 2Gb of DDR5 )dedicated graphics card that runs in crossfire with the APU graphics that works a treat at 720p and then plugged it into my telly and connected a controller .
And yes im loving the steam sale .
