Haha, it was very optimistic of me I do admit. It ran GTA 4 well, guess I'm super lucky it did that. I am looking at some prebuilt computers, when I find one I want I will definitely post the specs for some advice, thanks so much guys. I'm not confident enough with computers to build my own rig to be honest. 

Looking to spend around 1K so if anyone has any recommendations of what the prebuilt should have for that money, or any examples that would be awesome

 

thanks again guys! 

Like above, building your own PC is the best way. Buying parts and assembling it. It isn't that hard and there are a lot of tutorials on it. Can help you out if you are willing to start :)

Would this be ok - 

Processor	- Intel® Core™ i7-4790 - Quad-core - 3.6 GHz / 4.0 GHz - 8 MB cache

Graphics card	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 (4 GB)

16GB Ram

 

thank you.

thank you.

that cpu is good but GPU is really weak. I'm guessing this is a pre built? Trust me, for whatever you are paying for this, you'll get a lot more by building yourself :)

Thanks for replying!

Problem is, it's going to be a present however despite me explaining that fact the only option is for the computer to be a pre built, and on PC world (ouch) trust me I've tried to explain so much but at the end of the day, it's a present so I'm not complaining ha :)

 

would you you reccommend an i5 processor with a GTX 970 instead?

No worries, that's not a bad CPU. Do you have a link to the PC? An I5-4460 and a GTX 970 is a pretty strong match. It's pretty close to what my rig now and I'm fine with GTA V maxed out @ 1080P 60FPS+.

i know it is probably way over priced, but I I couldn't persuade that fact, however I am very greatful and super excited to play with it! I loved GTA 4 with LCPD FR and I've played that for years. Also got a new internet, I've been having to deal with 1 mb download speed for a few years living at home, now I've moved out its a hell of a lot better so I can actually do lol my steam games too haha. 

 

Thank you you so much for all of your help, I really appreciate it!

Hey, no worries. Pretty solid actually! Yes of course the prices are going to be much higher but as you said, you can't do much about it. Solid for your first couple years at max settings. And you can also upgrade your parts in the future if you ever want to as that case is pretty good. If you have any questions on why/how, feel free to msg me here and I'll be glad to help out. Also, I HIGHLY recommend you overclock your GTX 970. You can get an easy 10+FPS boost. Once again, feel free to ask anything via PM if you have any questions. Enjoy your new rig!
