Sunnyknight Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Gimme your final final FINAL price. Lemme get to work.
Arreks Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Depends on the spec of your laptop, you're right in that you should definitely try it with the laptop first before looking into other things. Elite is actually not as demanding as you'd think it would be. 1
GREED Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Good news: It works! Stunning game play and graphics are amazing. Bad news: Yes, yes, my laptop is not gonna do the business! Its close to be fair, but just not quite! To answer earlier question, don't wanna spend much over £200 really, Quad Core, 8G DDR3, decent Graphics Card, 120GB HDD, small case (Want to hide it away behind the telly!). Surely should be able to do something for that? Yes, it really has been a while since I last bought a PC!
featured_spectre Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 it will run on a 5770 GFX card. I have one which you can have for £30 delivered
featured_spectre Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Here are the minimum specs... Minimum Requirements Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz/Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Radeon HD 4570 1024MB 2 GB RAM Win 7 64 DX 11 5 GB
GREED Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Thanks for that. I'm kinda hoping one of the sponsors will come back with a deal for it all (and build the thing for me!) If not, back to basics and start buying bit by bit!
Sunnyknight Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 £200?! Jheeeeez, talk about testing a guy. I'll see what i can come up with. (dfsjkhsdfkjhfskjfdh 200 quid jgkljdhgkjdgfhkjghkgf)
GREED Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Or close to. Specs more important than the price
Sunnyknight Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I can't do it. I just..... push 500... and you could have this... Intel Core i5-3470 3.20GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) Gigabyte H61M-S2PV Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST250DM000) HDD NZXT Phantom 240 Midi-Tower - White Best i can do for now, unless you don't mind ebay. (new of course)
featured_spectre Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 300 I coukd do it...500 and you could have a beast...
GREED Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Hummmm 300 you say! Really just looking for something that will do the job, I'm not full into PC gaming like I say elite is a special occasion so just want to be able to play it! Edited November 13, 2014 by GREED
JJonas Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I can't do it. I just..... push 500... and you could have this... Intel Core i5-3470 3.20GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) Gigabyte H61M-S2PV Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST250DM000) HDD NZXT Phantom 240 Midi-Tower - White Best i can do for now, unless you don't mind ebay. (new of course) Dont you need a power supply and heat sink with that?
featured_spectre Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Motherboard, Hex Core CPU (AMD), RAM bundle - I have a similar bundle but I got the 8core one, and replaced the ram with my own. Its been pretty solid for me. 4GB Graphics Card - Covers the minimum spec by quite a way HDD Case + PSU Total cost = £309.01 (excluding delivery). Will run the game on high at around 30-45FPS (ish), medium 40-50FPS, low 60+ FPS *edit* No keyboard, mouse or monitor included Edited November 13, 2014 by featured_spectre
Sunnyknight Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Dont you need a power supply and heat sink with that? Heatsink + fan comes with it. Psu.... give you that. Break down the GTX 760 to something cheaper such as:- Sapphire Radeon R7 265 Dual-X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [11232-00-20G] and then buy the Corsair Builder Series CX 600w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020060-UK) [CP-9020060-UK] or.... buy the PSU cheaper on ebay (around £40 cheaper) and a cheaper case (£20 less). I'm not brilliant with budgets under £500 tbh... i usually look upwards of £1k..... lol

featured_spectre Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Agreed...for a high spec at a reasonable price (£600+) @Sunnyknight will sort you a very very good machine. For less, thats where I shine as I deal with lower end hardware in my brothers work when he needs me.

featured_spectre Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 well it doesn't cover a keyboard, mouse or monitor, nor does it cover a joystick with thrust controller...so enjoy and @Sunnyknight I agree intel should be for gaming, but for a lower end price machine, AMD is where its at, and frankly, my AMD FX-8370 Eight-Core machine is on par with an Intel Core i7-4860HQ @ 2.40GHz so I'm happy
GREED Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I already have my TV plus my eye on joysticks :-)
thepridster Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 well it doesn't cover a keyboard, mouse or monitor, nor does it cover a joystick with thrust controller...so enjoy and @Sunnyknight I agree intel should be for gaming, but for a lower end price machine, AMD is where its at, and frankly, my AMD FX-8370 Eight-Core machine is on par with an Intel Core i7-4860HQ @ 2.40GHz so I'm happy AMD always gets my vote for bang for buck. I've always found careful research into the motherboard and ram is very important to maximise the potential of a small budget computer. I only moved to Intel this build due to A) having more money B) Intel did have a few more newer technologies open to their processors than AMD at the time.
localzuk Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Release date tomorrow! You're off by a month. December 16th.
