Hey Guys,

I am going to fly and give LCPFR a new try.

Going to buy a computer in a few days.

Please give me a good HD size and Ram size.

And if I buy the computer and install and all the stuff needed will someone be willing to TeamViewer and set it up for me.

I am not that smart when it comes to Moding.

Just want to see if the people who helped me before can help me again.

I am really wanting to get back into it.

The computer will be a Windows 7 as well :(

If you want I can buy a Windows XP

You should really be posting this topic here (www.lcpdfr.com/topic/5754-need-help-buildingconfiguring-a-pc/) as a post.

When it comes to gaming, hard drive and memory size are not nearly as important as the Processor, Video Card & Power Supply.

What kind of budget do you have? Are you U.S. based? (I ask this question so those who reply to this thread know which vendors to post links to.)

Are you buying a pre-built computer or are you building this?

Windows XP is okay but is outdated and extended support from Microsoft runs out in 2014.

Unless you get a 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional or Windows 7, your operating system will be limited to 3.xGB.

Windows XP only supports DirectX 9 where Windows 7 Supports DirectX11 (What is DirectX11, short answer: software that makes games look good)

Assuming you are U.S. based I would budget somewhere between (800 - 1400) for a new build or store bought computer. Price is going to vary depending on how high end you go and if do build it, if you re-use parts or order less (ex:4GB of ram now, more later).

Think this over for a day or so and always do research!

So when buying a computer I can buy Windows 7 and is anybody out there smart enough to work with a 7?

I am USA based out of North Carolina. I know what DirectX is because I make it required for my game as well.

So how big of a HD do I need ?

80 or 200?

What processor do you recommend ?

So you are buying a new computer and not building?

What is your budget?

What other games do you plan on playing?

I am just going to find one on Amazon.com I got a huge gift card to amazon that I need to use ( I personally hate Amazon.com)

Anything that you can find under 1,000 on Amazon.com

I only using this for LCPDFR.
