PC to run GTA V

[Rocko]

Cheapest PC to run GTA 5 on high settings 2560x1440

 

30-45 FPS.

 

I don't mind overclocking.

An i5 and a 970 combo might get you there.

30-45 FPS.

Here is my build: The Pulverizer: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qhYLLk

Black and Red theme, will run GTA V pretty well (on paper it says it will), and has plenty of room for upgrades in the future.

You can store GTA V on the SSD for even quicker loading times and the graphics card will work well on GTA V on High if not Max settings

On 2560x1440?

No just no

Yes on paper it can run this res well.

Why not :'(

Because its overpriced and wont run it at 45fps with everything maxed

[bob345]

That build will work just fine. Not sure what you're on about.

You're not making much sense

You could easily shave off more than 150$

A 970 can run it at 45 maxed. The recommended for GTA V is a GTX  660. The 970 is way better than the 660 so I'm pretty sure it can run GTA V Max at more than 45 fps

sure, you could go with a smaller ssd and a cheaper case, but that is not a compromise i would want to make.

You forgot one big thing a 150$ Z97 motherboard for a locked processor made me lmfao.

this isn't even cutting it down that much too, in fact its upgrading in a few places where you will feel it the most.

I'd go cheaper ram, a better mobo, and an unlocked chip.

recommends a 660 for 1080p* mind you

But then you lose any chance of upgrading to better cpu in the future. Also, non k chips can be overclocked to an extent as it is only the multiplier that is locked.

If you're not considering SLIing in the future, it'd be fine to get a cheaper PSU. 

If you are, then ignore this comment.

Why do you buy a 170$ CPU only to upgrade it to a 200$ unlocked CPU latter.

 

Why spend a extra 80$ to fiddle with the thing that's notoriously unstable to get a extra 5-10%.

Same here i'm just proving the point that this makes no sense.

If I did it my way this is what it would be.

Get a Hyper 212 Evo instead of an H60 and it would be perfect. The h60s price to performance is terrible.

True but maybe a Darkrock Pro 3 or NH-D15 for the extra 30$.

Much better price to performance... Might be good. They'll allow for a solid overclock.

Personally I favor the Darkrock Pro 3 because noctua makes amazing shit, but that's the problem it literally looks like the color of shit.
