Hello, everyone. I decided to build my first computer/ greatly upgrade my current one and while surfing the web, I’ve heard that you, guys, are the right people to contact, for help.
I want to mention, that I have completely no experience in such matters.
Also, shortly- why I am upgrading. (you may skip this part)
Just for one game. It’s actually a kind of game, of which I was Dreaming, before it was even announced. Now, I’ve been playing it for a year and I will play it for many more.
However, this game requires a very powerful computer, to be run properly. My current machine does not even meet the recommended requirements and I am able to play it only with lots of .ini files tweakings, to reduce the graphics even lower, than it can be, in the in-game settings menu. Even with all the tweaks, my performance is horrible and it is often difficult to enjoy the game, ‘cause of it.
I intend to keep such parts as my keyboard, mouse, speakers, the monitor and the HDD as well, as 500gb is currently more than enough for me.
CD/DVD drive too, as I barely use it, so I definitely don’t need a better one.
I’m gonna type my current system specs right here, once I come back home (at work right now.)
/space reserved for specs/
And here is the Recommended specs for the game, for which I am building this pc:
Recommended Settings:
Processor: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad or equivalent
Memory: 6GB RAM
Video: NVidia GeForce 8800 GTX 512MB or equivalent
Sound: DirectX 9 Compatible Audio Card
What would be needed to play the game at maximum settings:
Quadcore 2.3 or higher
8GB RAM
2 strong video cards (Nvidia 200 series or higher).
Also worth mentioning:
AMD might 'cause some problems with the game, so I wont risk it.
I'm not sure what is SLI, I suppose something super expensive and awesome, either way, it causes quite some problems in this game, thought I'd mention that too.
About my budget, I am really not sure how much I am willing to spend.
I'm not wealthy, but I'm planning to invest as much as I will have to, in order to obtain a machine, which can run this game on maximum settings.
So, to the ones willing to help me: Imagine you are trying to build a perfect computer for yourself, to run this game, spending as least money as you possibly can- without loosing quality.
I'll be home in few hours and then I'll complete this post.
(I hope I posted in an appropriate section)
