Ideal game systems

Abbeydays · July 24, 2023

Look we all play games and all have very different setups, some want the ultra high end maxed out fps, others are more contrained to a budget but still wanting hest bang for the buck, I have found when looking at builds that a few have said here, you can't just give out a blank cheque and get someone to fill out the parts you need, even if you set a budget there will always be things that you want to change.

So why not have a section on the board that is dedicated to what system works best with particular games, people can put in their titles, requirements and people actually who play the game can give some honest feedback

Take myself for example, looking for a Dayz | arma3 |halo infinity , running at 1080p ideally would like to have the settings medium to high, with a good fps and have a budget of around £650

Sure going into the builds section, creates a list of parts to build, but hearing from players that play the games on this kind of machine gives one a better idea.

Those games can get CPU limited on either single and/or multithreading, so considering a new+decent CPU is a priority in my opinion.

i3 13100f and RX 6600 at a minimum, can upgrade to either a R5 5600 < i5 13400f < i5 13500, RX 6700XT/6750XT if you can work it in the budget. Regional restrictions being your major disadvantage from my understanding.

simply put:

because it'd change too damned often to be useful, and there'd be way too many combinations of games and other things to make it practical.

It's easier to build a list when someone asks in that forum section.

I mean that still happens, but its impractical. as @tkitch says, game and hardware changes with time, especially in a live service title. Thanks for giving yourself a budget though, finally. Make this an appropriate response to previous thread too.
