Dcs specs on my system

[76561198205416683]

Hello I wanted to ask if dcs world and dcs world a-10c will run on My specs and on my desktop I just bought a nvidia gt 710 and will upgrade my processor to a Intel Xeon quad core
My specs:
(Nvidia gt 710 ddr3
Intel pentium r
2.50 ghz
4 gigs of ram
And a 160 watt power supply)

Thanks and plz respond as soon as possible

The short answer is "No, your system is below the minimum requirements for DCS".
Even with the upgrades you mentioned.

Minimum system requirements:
OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5; RAM: 8 GB; Free hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: 2 GB RAM card, DirectX11 - compatible;

The minimum for DCS is the absolute minimum, and should be taken literally.
The minimum requirements is not enough to run DCS smoothly to enjoy.
Your GFX Card VRAM is only 1GB, needs to be 2GB at the minimum.
The Xeon will not suffice. A single core needs to be at least 3Ghz.
8GB of RAM is the absolute minimum, 4GB is just not going to work at all.
And the GDDR3 VRAM is very slow for today's standards.

You will need to build or purchase a new system in order to run and fly DCS.

The graphics card has 2gb and the Xeon is a quad core and what will run dcs

Another question is will a 160 watt and I know from some forums that a lower psu can damage your gpu but can my stock psu 160w damage my gt 710

You must be joking.

PSU often only output 80% of their nominated output and that is also often where they are most efficient at.

For a decent computer able to run demanding software, you need to start looking for PSU at 700-800W range.

I'm starting to think that this post is really some kind of a joke :)

Each one of those cores better be 3Ghz.
And the 4GB of RAM is definitely not enough, DCS will not run, maybe only the menu.

On the EVGA website for the GT 710 it states:

Requirements
Minimum of a 300 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 20 Amps.)

gpu is very very bad you made worse decision of your life

It runs on 300w power supply because you have a very low end graphics card.

Like lowest possible of 7xx series.

Your pc is better suited for multimedia tasks such as watching 720p video from youtube.

Having not enough watts won't damage anything it just won't power on or remain powered on.

You pc cannot run any modern 3D game at more then 10 fps.

Maybe for SLI with a low grade PSU. You're looking at 600 watts or so to comfortably run any PC config (within reason of course) with a single GPU.

It really depends a lot on what kind of hardware you choose.

At higher loads components heat up more and power transfer efficiency is reduced -> you need higher current/voltage and that in turn produces more heat further degrading efficiency.

Newest GPU don't use as much power as they did a bit earlier: I have older 7970 Radeon now which has about double the TDP comparing to newer more efficient RX 480 (~300W vs. ~150W).

Newer manufacturing process helps keep power demand lower and getting better performance. Design of the power conversion matters a lot too: PC style switched-mode power supply have various ways to implement and some manufacturers cut corners a lot (which have poor results).

Assuming 80% max output from 600W PSU would get 480W actual output. Then there's the PSU design issues: is that all on 12V perhaps, does 5V output reduce as 12V demand is higher and so on. So you might still "starve" on some lines/rails depending on PSU design.

Depending on CPU 150W might be on the low-end. Add to that RAM, motherboard chips, active cooling, harddrives..

Overclocking of course adds to power demand.
