New2DayZ 1 Posted April 10, 2015 I'm a beginner to computers and don't have much experience with them at all. I was hoping that someone could give me a few options on what to buy to run this game on maxed out settings. I'm looking for a desktop that is hopefully cheap, but if not I'm able to pay up to anything under 2K. I would appreciate it if you would show the cost of each item so I'm able to know what I'm paying for. Thank you in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColdAtrophy 1850 Posted April 11, 2015 Here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hHXqgs a grand total of $890 AR ($160 rebate). Price is not included Windows 8.1, or any additional fan cooling.. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but there is no way that PC build will play this game, in its current state, at 1080p, all max settings, and decent FPS. I have an i5-4690k and a GTX 970. I OC'ed my CPU to 4.5ghz and my GPU +100mhz Core (1416mhz), +200 Mem (3708mhz) and I cannot maintain 60 FPS. Hell, I can't keep it above 30. In the woods, I get about 90. In small villages and towns, I get around 40-45. In large cities, it fluctuates from briefly hitting 20 up to 35 FPS. In contrast, I run BF4 at 1080p, full Ultra, and my framerate is between 115-150. I haven't found any game yet that wasn't an alpha that I could not crank up all settings at 1080p and maintain 60FPs or better. Basically, what I'm saying here is that the OP needs to have his or her expectations tempered a bit. Once the game gets well optimized, then I'm sure that 290x will do just fine. In the meantime, the OP should not be expecting 60+ FPS on all max settings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
