Does it costs 5000$ for a pc to play gta v?

[Cforumlbgfeva]

Uh...you don't need 750 watts for a GTX 650TI. Actually, you don't even need that for a GTX 770.

Also what is the model of your CPU? Intel or AMD?

it's a intel core i3 cpu 530 @ 2.93GHZ

 

i have 6 gigs of ram.

I would recommend 750Watt for GTX 770, cuz CPU, RAM and other parts are in need of wattage too.

So you have a first gen i3. Well you can upgrade to a high-mid Haswell or Ivy Bridge for about $400-$200.

Or you can get a pretty high end AMD system for $300-$200 depending on how you shop around.

 

Pick your poison.

A 650watt power supply will power a GTX 770, an i7 3770K at 4.0Ghz, and 8GB of RAM at 1600Mhz with enough power to spare for the fans and other accessories.

These new parts consume less power and in turn produce less heat than the previous generation while being able to run faster clock for clock. Less power required = less heat = greater performance.

I'm looking for a processor around $100-$120 or less. Do all the processors fit in any desktop?

when IV came out i bought a PC for £600 and that ran IV at high settings.

 

a £1000 pc will run it a Very high settings. but this is buying a PC at time of release, and not now. if you buy one now you'll be at a loss come end of the year.

You would need to look for "Socket 1156" Processors if you wanted to upgrade

But i don't think you'll find a CPU that is better than that for 100-120 dollars. Hard to find 1556 Cpus by now.

Get a new AMD mobo (AM3+ Socket) and an AMD FX 63XX

1. No, a $800-1000 PC would run GTA V at max.

 

2. I think you're trying to twist hardcore console-gamers statements.

 

3. No, they'll only need to be upgraded when current games that are running on your PC only ran at Low (or worse).

 

4. $5000 for a PC is absolute over-kill.

 

5. And yes, I remember you for being such a PC Elitist on an other thread.

750W is oversized for a GPU like the GTX770, even if you choose to buy a High-End processor, a decent motherboard, lots of RAM, more than one HDD and SDD, and so forth. 750 Watt is only needed if multi-GPU is of importance for you.

 

Just take a look at the official TDP of modern system parts and you will see that what I'm saying is true. In fact, let's go ahead with it:

 

Intel Core i7 4790k 4x 4.00GHz

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming

Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB DDR3-1600MHz CL9-9-9-24

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB, SATA 6Gb/s

Crucial MX100 512GB SDD

Asus DRW-24F1ST

MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming 4G, 4GB GDDR5

 

TDP of system parts:

CPU: 88W

HDD: 5.9W

SDD: 4.2W

GPU: >250W

 

I even listed the TDP of the HDD and SSD despite the fact that they don't consume all that much. When you add it all together, the result is about 350 Watts, and I even went for the R9 290X which is far superior to the GTX770 in terms of power. Regardless of how unrealistic that scenario is, let's assume that the motherboard, system RAM and DVD drive consume another 50W, then the whole system consumes 400 Watts of power. In other words, if you purchase a high quality power supply, then 450 to 500 Watts would be enough for a PC that has one of the best hardware at all available on the market.

 

You also need to take into account that manufacturers are continously aiming for lower power consumptions. The introduction of the first Maxwell GPUs from nVidia is clearly evidence for that. GTX750Ti has a TDP of 65 Watt, according to nVidia and various other companies that sell customized editions of the card, and it's performance-wise between the GTX480 and GTX580 which, in turn, have a TDP of 250 and 244 Watts, respectively.

 

I'm looking for a processor around $100-$120 or less. Do all the processors fit in any desktop?

No. Whether the processor will fit into your PC depends on the motherboard. You can't buy any CPU you want and put it into your PC as you like. Different processors may require different motherboards. It depends on the manufacturer, the generation and so the CPU socket. Intel Core i3 530 is a dual-core from the Nehalem generation, which is using the ancient 1156 socket. So, if you're looking for something new, then you would also need to buy a new board.

 

Unless you are willing to buy a used CPU, something like an i7 880, but it's only worth it if you find something for little money.

You could build a computer under $1000 that'd run GTA V. Not at the highest settings, obviously, but decent enough.

for 1500 you could run GTA V on max settings!

 

and btw console gamers are NOT gamers, they can't handle the keyboard.

Eurogamer have a really great guide for any newbie looking to get a PC for gaming (it's helped many of my novice friends). You don't have to get the parts listed in this guide and many here would suggest you don't, but it gives you a good idea what you can get for the same price of a next-gen console.

Do not take PC hardware advice from these forums.

 

People are correcting misinformation with MORE misinformation.

If you need PC building advice start somewhere like /r/buildapc or LogicalIncrements if you're really desperate.

 

There are also cookie-cutter builds you can find out there.

The socket you have is old. You'd have to look on eBay for an LGA 1156 CPU to fit in your motherboard. You can find an i7 8xx or i5 7xx.

But personally, I would recommend getting a new system. It's all up to you.

I'm going to build a gaming pc. I admit my budget is a tad low right now. I'm going to build my rig up slowly little by little. The motherboard and desktop case as well as the cpu is what I'm trying to figure out right now. the newer mother boards will work well with the newer cpu's right?

No it's fine. I completely understand about your budget being low. I also have a LGA 1156 CPU. It's a Core i5 760, but I'm upgrading very very soon...as in this weekend.

 

Anyway when looking at CPUs and motherboards you have to look at the sockets. I know for sure that AM3+ is backwards compatible with AM3 CPUs. That's if you go with AMD.

 

With Intel, both 2nd (Sandy Bridge) and 3rd (Ivy Bridge) generation Core i7/5/3 CPUs use the same LGA 1155 socket. The 4th generation (Haswell) uses LGA 1150.

What you have is the 1st generation i3 ( Clarkdale) that uses LGA 1156. So, if you're going to upgrade to a new generation you have to get a compatible board.

 

Now, newer motherboards will have different features depending on the chipset. Some will support overclocking while others don't.

You really have to look around and know the difference. I know for LGA 1155, the Z77 chipsets are the most expensive boards because you can overclock well on those.

However, you can save money by getting a B75 or H77 chipset motherboard. They will be under $100 and will support Sandy and Ivy bridge CPUs.

I don't plan on overclocking anything. this would be my first time building a gaming pc from sratch why I have so many questions.

[BunnyBoy21]

I built a rig for just about 1,000 and it runs all games pretty well. 7850 2GB and an AMD FX 8150 3.6GHz.

 

I play BF3 and 4 nicely on high. ( Sometimes dips into the 30's in 4). I play Watch Dogs and Crysis 2 decently enough. I am pretty sure I can play GTA V on high if not maxed.

[RyanBurnsRed]

It's okay. I'll try to answer as much as I can. I know there are other people on these forums that know quite a bit of PC hardware as well.

Anyway since you won't be overclocking then you can get a cheap Intel Sandy Bridge PC that will play GTA V.

 

For a motherboard you can try getting one of these. I highly and strongly recommend you go with a Gigabyte board or an Asus board if you can find one.

As for CPU you can try to get a Core i5 2500 or 2400 (NOT 2400S). For either one you'd have to look on Amazon or Ebay.

 

If you want a Core i3 (I wouldn't really recommend it for gaming, especially with the specs new games are getting), you can get a Core i3 2120 on Amazon for under $100...if you live in the US.

Just look on ebay, and get an LGA 1156 i7 or i5 processor. Make sure it is not an overclocked processor either.

 

You will save money and keep your current motherboard. That's the best advice I can offer right now. Look on ebay.

i'm in canada though. I want something like 3.6ghz - 4 ghz

[RyanBurnsRed]

Eh...with an i7 860 you can hit 3.6Ghz easily if you overclocked it. But you would need an aftermarket cooler to keep it cool at those speeds

But if you want 4Ghz then that puts you in a bit of a tight spot since you're gonna have to spend at least $200 on a CPU alone.

 

That goes for both AMD and Intel since you don't want to overclock.

Edited June 24, 2014 by RyanBurnsRed

[Andreas]

The frequency of the processor doesn't matter so much, really. What matters is whether it's from AMD or Intel and whether it has two, three, four or more cores. Lastly, the CPU generation also plays an important factor. You still have the option to overclock, though, if you want to. But you need the right CPU for it, one that has an open multiplier and/or gives you the possibility to alter the BCLK.

You need to decide on a CPU before choosing a motherboard.

[Frontality]

You could run GTA V on a toaster as long as it has Windows on it...

But for high graphics settings you'll need to spend 700$ atleast.

5000$ is WAYYY too much, you can build a rig that can handle GTA V at 4K on max settings for much less than that man...

oh oh

[Andreas]

Yeah. First, you need to decide which processor you want to purchase. If you go with one that is overclockable, then you need a motherboard that allows you to overclock. If you don't want to overclock, then you can go with a cheaper board. That are factors you need to consider when you upgrade your PC, to avoid spending too much or too little on a given PC part.
