GTA V CPU Requirements

I seen a few clips on the game and I'm trying to decide on my system as this is going to be my fist build in very long time (12+ years). I'm on a $800 budget to include monitor, kb/m, and os. At this point my question is can the G3258 even run it though the req is a quad or go with an 860K. Or am I just SOL at my price point.

Thanks

860K can't run it very well.

Pretty sure the G3258 will have issues.

The lowest you should go is the i3 4150/ AMD 6300 (Preferably 4150).

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

This was the build I planed on doing.

AMD CPU's are very weak per thread... I'd not want one for any open world game.

 

That's a lot of cash for a rubbish Bronze PSU. At that price, look for a Gold Certified.

 

The rest looks good. Just swap out that AMD for an Intel, with a motherboard to match, and lose the aftermarket cooler. And find a better PSU:

And all three of your recommendations versus the 500b and 600b are rubbish... and cost $20+ more.

Obviously you know nothing about PSUs but efficiency and the sticker. The EVGA B2 is a cut-down Super Flower Golden Green platform, which is what the Capstone is based off of as well, so basically your PSU with slightly less efficiency and semi-modular. It has far better electrical performance then the NEX/G1 which are based on an FSP Aurum but perform even worse then the original PSU that it's based off of. Bronze vs Gold is not a valid argument when it comes to B2 vs G1. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/10/04/80_plus_irrelevant_to_you_when_buying_psu/2#.VTHV1yFVhBc

 

Let me remind you of your recommendation

Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($39.99 @ NCIX US) 

 

Now,

And all three of your recommendations versus the 500b and 600b are rubbish... and cost $20+ more.

 

$39.99 to $44.99 is not $20+ more. Basic math skills.

 

And in case of further lack in PSU skills, there is NO debate in that the ProSeries which are based off the Seasonic S12II platform are better then the HEC-made EVGA 500B. Better quality internal components, better electrical performance, and 50 more watts. Spending the extra $5 is worth it when the 500B that I had went up in a big spark and took out one of my SSDs with it.

 

If you have the knowledge to get a decent PSU like the Capstone then you should know enough to do some decent research before going off on me and my "rubbish".

I had the cash to select a better PSU... some people do not have that luxury. Now, your infectious knowledge of PSU's is outstanding, I'll give you that. But back to simplicity, what am I to do with a PSU that has one 6pin and one 6+2 pin? How am I to ever power any modern GPU with that(maybe an Asus 970?)? I'm not suggesting that I'd want anything by FSP or Deer in my personal PC, but some people don't have the luxury of purchasing a JonnyGuru special.

 

So in short, you win. But I'd still not buy any of the PSU's you recommended other than both of the XFX's. If you had only recommended the two of them and not the other three, I'd have liked your post and been on my way.
