GTA3Freak-2001 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just thought I'd give the PC gamer guys a place where you can show off the set-up you will be playing GTA IV on since the console folks had their own little show-off session. Now its our turn! So show-off your SLi'd, quad-cored rigs, your manly sized monitor, gaming keyboards and mice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 manly sized monitor I'm definitely spending to much time on the Gtaforums/web/PC. Sorry for OT, but I have yet to build my new PC. Maybe I'll come back to show off in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ_Vercetti Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 well, not something beasty, but I think it'll be enough for me to enjoy GTA4 MB: Asus P5K CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 3Ghz RAM: 2GB Kingston DDR800 VGA: XFX Alpha Dog 8800GT 512MB HDD: Seagate 500GB SATA-2 OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit/SP1 19" LCD wide screen LG And the rest is ordinary cheap components, if it supports surround, I'll probably buy myself some 5.1 speakers... This is enough for all the current games, so I believe GTA won't be an exception... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Monitor is an "old" Samsung SyncMaster 710n 17" Those syncmasters are great. I have one of those and they are used in a lot various places. What about Samsung LCD monitors? I see a lot people have LG, but I just don't have any faith in that brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_f_mac Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This PC announcement finally made my decision about upgrading... Current configuration: Athlon X2 4200+ Radeon 1950 pro 1 GB DDR ram 320 GB Seagate HDD Piece-of-sh*t Epox 9NPAJ motherboard Now, I'm almost sure this could run IV (runs Crysis on med.), but every new game can barely breathe on a sinlge gb of ram. Another gb of DDR1 would cost me as much as new motherboard...So I said f*ck that, time to buy something new...That's what I'm thinking of: C2D E8500 or C2Q Q9450 Radeon HD4870 4 GB DDR2 Asus P5Q PRO P45 Cost: about 500 EUR Everything else stays the same (casing, HDD, 550W power supply, good old 19" Samsung, no name Logitech keyboard and G5 mouse) This all could change, I'm waiting till November. Could get everything above cheaper/something better for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
