What will I need to run gta V on pc? Here are my current specs

[GoonOnFire]

I apologize if this is the wrong section in advance.

I purchased this computer last year, I was wondering what I would need to run it fairly well, but most importantly - play it AND record.

All within' a reasonable budget, of course. I don't need a monster machine. Just adding on to what I have now.

First and foremost, there's a proper subforum for these kinds of inquiries:

As for your PC, while AMD integrated Radeons are decent enough compared to the so-called "HD Graphics" Intel makes for their Cores and Pentiums among others, you'd be better off with shoving in at least a GTX 750Ti, a GTX 950, or a GTX 970. AMD's own R7 360 and R7 370 are on more or less the same ball park as the GTX 750 and 950, but they're compounded by their higher power consumption even if they perform a bit worse than the green cards.

 

EDIT: Seems like HIS came up with a lower power consumption R7 360 that doesn't require a six-pin plug on your PSU:

...though regardless I'd swap the stock PSU with a stronger one as OEM and cheapo power boxes just don't cut it for gaming and heavy use. Try asking Jonyguru for a recommendation, it'll be worth your while.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the reply. I have no idea how I overlooked it.

 

What about getting a 400+ Watt PSU and a 4 gig GTX960?

A 960 should do the trick for you. Just make sure the PSU's reliable enough to power the whole rig, and you'll be golden.
