And that's $500 USD, not CAD, so it's more than a bit over budget. Look at his location...

Assuming that's CAD, ya....not going to get you too much

 

I'd guess an APU build going with new hardware anyways, isn't ark still in early access and pretty hard to run though?

Yes it is hard to run. I have an i5-4590 and an HD 7850 and it only runs at 60 FPS on Medium.

Well then probably save up a bit more, or the AM4 APUs were supposed to launch sometime soon anyways and those are going to be a bit better overall

Wait to see what AM4 offers, it should be a decent jump from current gen APUs given the improved architecture and DDR4 for the iGPU

 

Otherwise it's closer to 600 with an i3 and 360 GPU, the AM4 APUs should perform pretty close to that for less when they launch

Few tweaks you could do to enable better performance. (Game isnt finished, has performanc drops in a lot of areas or situations (client and server side)

 

-SM4 in the shortcut will make it run a lot faster, and while it USED to make night time really dark n black, thats been fixed now.

Lots more frames given back going from SM5 to SM4.

The Athlon X4 845 is comparable to a Sandy Bridge i5. If overclocked to 4GHz using baseclock (106-108), you should be able to match a stock i5 2500k. For 1/3rd the price of a used 2500k

380 Runs it gr8, mate has one, but game can be CPU intensive at very random times. (His FX8350 plays it fine tho, for reference.)

Should really shoot for the 500B though over that PSU.Also wouldn't be much reason to pay the extra on the 2400mhz RAM for the non APU

This.

 

Non-APU, I'd be happy with 1600-1866Mhz memory, save that few dollars and upgrade another component further.
