I am a console gamer who has wanted to get into lspdfr for awhile now, but I know nothing about PCs; I've always been a mac guy... I am wondering if a Digital Storm Vanquish 6 would be good enough to run lspdfr on. It comes with an intel core i7 cpu and 8 GB of ram. 

I realize that building a PC would probably be better, but I am set on getting a pre-built one instead.

Would the vanquish 6 work? If not, does anybody know of any better pre built PCs that would work for lcpdfr? I'm trying to keep it under $1,500.

 

Thanks

I was in the same boat as you for a while. Console gamer, always used Apple computers, and was heavily interested in Digital Storm. Digital Storm makes fantastic computers, however they are pricey, much like all pre builts/custom company built computers.

 

I created a spec list and had it all priced out and once I told a friend of mine (who's done nothing but build his own systems) the price he laughed pretty hard. Did a little more research my self and what was a $5,000 computer quickly turned into a$2,500 tower if I built it my self, and this was including better specs!

 

Most people will agree, building your self is cheaper and a better route. However I've seen nothing but great stuff from DS so if you went that route you'd still be getting a fantastic computer.

Thanks so much for your help! I may have to end up going with building my own, but do you know if an Alienware Aurora R5 or ASUS ROG G20CB-B21 would be better? Also do you happen to know what the minimum specs to run lspdfr are?

I've never really looked at alienware since they got bought out by Dell and I've never dealt with any ASUS pre builts but ASUS makes good products so I'm sure it's a good system.

In truth, there's really not a "set" standard of reqs. for LSPDFR. I would run off what the Recommended specs for GTA V stock and go by that and understand mods will inevitably make the game run slower due to the stresses that modding GTA V can bring.
