Advice: Will this run LSPDFR


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Long-time lurker, first time poster! 

 

After watching hours and hours of LSPDFR videos on youtube over the past two years, I've decided I am going to start gaming as well. Let me explain, I've only ever used macbooks and have literally no understanding and comprehension of computers or how to discern the specs of a computer. 

 

I am strongly thinking about buying this gaming pc from a local computer store, I've literally had the tab open for the past two weeks. My question is, how well (or at all) would this computer fare in running LSPDFR? I am desperate to just start playing already, so at this point I don't need something that is 100% fantastic or would need to run the absolute best graphics. 

 

Here are the specs: 

Brand Canada Computers
Model Aeon 1171
Type Gaming Computer
Form Factor ATX
Processor Model AMD FX-6300
Processor Speed 3.50GHz
Chipset AMD 970
Graphics Nvidia GTX 950 2GB GDDR5
Standard Memory 8 GB
Memory Type DDR3-1600
Optical Drive DVD-RW
Operating System Windows 10 Home 64-Bit OEM
Ethernet Gigabit LAN
Hard Drive 1 TB

 

Here is the link to the computer I am thinking of purchasing: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=7_1203_1446_1448&item_id=096825

 

Thanks friends, and sorry for long post! 

 

Cheers,

Not recommended at all. It's way overpriced for what you get.

Search for a local shop that will build your pc from scratch, it's less expensive and they can suggest you the right components.

 

CPU (processor): whatever Intel i5 should do the job, don't go on AMD (or wait for R3/R5 Ryzen lineup).

Motherboard: I have a good experience with ASUS, but other known brands are ok. I'd avoid MSI as it seems they're facing broken jumpers in a few models.

RAM: at least 8Gb.

GPU (graphics card): AMD RX480 (strongly suggested) or Nvidia 1060.

PSU (power supply): at least 500W. Do not go cheap with this, always choose a known brand. If the power supply breaks, other components may follow.

 

Take a look at pcpartpicker.com - it guides you on configuring your system while checking for prices.

Sorry to bother you friend, what do you think of this: I went with the modest gaming build because I honestly will only end up playing GTA and possibly BF4 (along with using word and surfing web, etc). Not sure if I'll need a mega gaming pc, does this sound reasonable?

Do not worry, you're welcome! :)

 

That's more then a "modest" build! You're going to play GTA5 and BF1 over 60fps @1080p (FHD) with no issues, it's a very good setup :)

 

EDIT: this builder went cheap on SSD storage by the way, choosing 240gb. I'd suggest at least a single 500gb SSD (people like to have double drives configuration: SSD + HDD... it's uncomfortable to me, I do not suggest it but may be useful if you need to store a lot of data on a slow drive - that's your choice)

I hope you don't mind, I sent you a PM to ask some more things if that is okay! 

 

Thanks @Nikopol !
