If you're getting a video card, just get some of the new nVidia models.

Here, choose a model for you (680 is the newest, the best one), and just buy it. Nvidia GeForce videocards are the best.

don't make him buy a video card he cannot afford... or power, get atleast a 560 or 570

Gta IV is vram hungry, so a graphic card with 1.5gb vram or greater is suggested.
i'd say HD 78xx/7950, or wait for 660/670. If theres no money issues, go for a GTX 680 or HD 7970, or even gtx690/hd 7990 whenever they get released.
Current AMD processors (bulldozer) is not as effective as intel sandy bridge, so I would suggest something like a sandy bridge i5-2500k(socket 1155), or without "k", if you're not going to overclock. You could also wait for Ivy bridge.

I suggest that you visit a hardware website, and ask for help, you will recieve better advices and probably not that many fanboys filling up your thread with useless posts.


Off topic, Hi AKA_Cross, I remember you from gl-rp.

Okay so NVIDIA card.What about the motherboard?

[lolumadd_]

Ugh, stop fucking arguing. First of all, its not ATI anymore, its AMD. Second of all, this has been debated MILLIONS of times. It like Coke and Pepsi. Nvidia charges a little bit more for some extra performance and AMD charges a little less for a little less performance or about the equal to the Nvidia predecessor.

I personally would recommend Nvidia though. More specifically the EVGA GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570.

For the ram, you can't get 3GB of RAM unless your MOBO supports Tri-Channel memory. So your best bet is to either get 4GB or 8GB (recommended) because you can get memory for cheap anyways.

A all-around good motherboard for everything that I would recommend would be the ASUS P8P67 (I have), or the ASUS P8Z68.

For the processor, you should get a Intel i5 2500 or Intel i7 2600.

If you need anymore help, ask.

Would that be enough to run the most new games?Like GTA IV, Battlefield, GTA V That comes out exactly when i'm buying my new PC.

If you have around £600-£700 I would recommend buying these parts and maybe even double the RAM to 16GB

Yes, more than enough. I have an Intel 2500k, GTX 570, 8GB RAM, and the ASUS P8P67 motherboard. I can run every game on the market on the maximum settings possible with great FPS and no lag.

[Mr.Tony]

i suggest you GTA V , i'am wondering wondering , when and when will it work .

[TheArcher]

Well, first of all depends what's your budget. If you want a cheap but a pretty good PC. Many people said nVIDIA is better than ATI and i'd say so not due to its performance but ATI's drivers suck! I got a Sapphire HD 6850 for 130€ even running GTA 4 on max, using a i5 2500k 4GB DDr3 Corsair, motherboard, ASUS P8P67 Pro, PSU Corsair CX 650W. Between i5 2500k and i7 2600k is NOT MUCH difference. The i7 2600k has hyperthread, 3.4Ghz and 3.8Ghz turbo mode and 8mb cache and it has 4core and 8thread. i5 2500k instead has not hyperthread, 3.3Ghz and 3.7Ghz turbo mode, 6mb cache, 4core and 4thread. There's not much difference and the price between them is around 150€ it doesn't worth to spend all that money for nothing.
