WHAT PC DO U GUYS RECOMMEND?
I’m thinking about getting a new pc for Christmas it’s not just cause of MHW but cause it’s pretty old ig now it's like 4 years old now I’m thinking of getting a CyberPowerPC - Gamer Master Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT 4GB - 1TB SSD - Black do u guys think MHW will run good in that and if that pc is up too date and you guys got any recommendations try to think of something in the 1,000 dollar range lol

Have you considered building your own PC? Just going by some of the build guides on pcpartpicker, it looks like you can get better specs than that for ~$800

im gonna be honest even if i look at at guide i probably will mess it up on building it i dont know how to do that stuff

Haha. There really isn't much that can go wrong with it. It's pretty much just the CPU you have to be careful with. But if a prebuilt gives you more peace of mind, fair enough.

As for the prebuilt you're asking about, the GPU is quite weak. The minimum requirements for Wilds suggest you'll need more than the 4GB of VRAM on offer too. But there's rumours that the requirements they've put out now are only provisional, so who knows until then.

What is the spec of your current PC? It might be better to just upgrade your GPU, and maybe get a bigger power supply

It looks like your CPU is roughly on par with a Ryzen 5 5500, and your GPU is slightly better than an RX 6500 XT. It definitely seems like you'd be better off upgrading some components instead of buying a new PC.

Assuming you have 16GB of memory already, you could upgrade what you have already with something like an RTX 4060, or with something even better depending on how much power your PSU can put out, and call it a day. Maybe get a bigger SSD while you're at it.

do u think my current computer is good enough to play wild i know all u can do is guess but i rather ask someone more knowledgeable then me

Yeah, you're already at the minimum requirements. A 4060 would get you to recommended
Wild Oct 3, 2024 @ 4:01pm 
That cpu is alright but definitely get a better GPU, Rx 6600 minimum but I recommend Rx 6750 XT or 7600.

If you can though I recommend getting 8 core cpu (Ryzen 7), just because it will have better longevity.

if you think you can manage assembly then buy parts seperately, you ll save between %20-30 compared to premades.

i dont care about AMD stuff, as a budget build, what i suggest is grabbing a gen12-13 intel xx700kf or xx900kf types and a suitable mobo, preferably Z chipset and a 3080ti/90ti , if you can afford 4080. stay away from 50 60 70s. a 2tb nvme ssd,especially samsung evo. and 64gigs ddr4 ram , dont bother with ddr5 mumbojumbo for now, there s still time for that.

anyway all these d be sufficent. later if you want you can upgrade your processor.

If you're going for ryzen 5000, I would try and go for a 5700x3d or 5800x3d if possible. Otherwise, depending on price, I would try to stretch up to ryzen 7000. Even if you need to save for an extra month or so for a little extra money. It might be the difference in getting an extra year or two out of your build, or just more consistently hitting higher framerates. The GPU is also definitely not ideal, it's basically entry level. I would probably not suggest anything below 6600 at the minimum due to vram. But ideally you would want something even a little stronger than that. Again, it might be hard if you're on a very strict budget and can't compromise at all on the price.

Some quick savings you may be able to make is reusing a case from your current pc. If the power supply is suitable, you could also reuse that. Likewise, if you have ddr4 ram you could likely reuse that depending on the platform of use. Beyond that, the only other thing you could really initially compromise on would be the storage space, but there really is little price difference between say a 500gb ssd and 1tb.

In this age where a lot of games seem more heavier on the cpu due to consoles and lower settings can usually help the gpu running the game with upscaling, I would prioritize
cpu >= gpu > ram (16gb minimum, 32gb would be welcome but really not required generally) > storage. Other components are just kind of essential and dependent on the core components you pick. Storage can be easily upgraded after your initial build if needed, but you would just initially be restricted.

If you're going the prebuilt route, then you're at the mercy of the builder in terms of price. I wouldn't really recommend those specs for monster hunter, but again if you're set on the price with no flexibility maybe you don't have much choice. But a ps5 would probably get a better experience, albeit more restricted.

It's hard to recommend a specific path. Assuming that none of those components are some sort of proprietary configuration in a pre-built, you can probably reuse the ram, power supply, storage and case. This would allow you to put significantly more money into a platform upgrade.

It's hard to recommend anything based on the current specs. We really don't have enough information. For all we know, the recommended specs could hit 60fps without framegen 90% of the time, but it dips 10% of the time into the mid 40s, so they put framegen to say "60fps". Likewise, it could be stable 30fps and framegen lets it hit 60. The devs have also gone on record to say that they aren't really set on the final parameters of the official release, so it's possible the specs may change (I probably wouldn't expect it).

If I was in your position I would go one of two routes. I would either go for a top end ryzen 5000/mobo, and use the rest of the money to put into a gpu. You could probably get like a 4070 or 7600xt for roughly your budget. You may need to upgrade power supply, hard to know.

You could go another route of ryzen 7000, (I would go for the higher end range again) but you'd incur a lot of cost with upgrading to ddr5 ram and the new motherboard. At that point you could either use the 1660 super for a bit longer until you can afford a suitable gpu (again I'd probably try for at least 4070 or 7600xt) at a further point. Or, depending on the cost of other parts, you might be able to fit one in at the same time.

The ryzen 5000 path may make more sense, but maybe you'd rather go the prebuilt route. It's also under the assumption the game is heavier on the cpu than gpu, which I'm inclined to think it is as the base target is the ps5.

I think your current pc would likely offer unstable 30fps and with the gpu it would be FSR 1080p from a native 720p resolution on low. Both parts would likely need to be upgraded to stabilize the experience, but personally I would go for the cpu upgrade first. Then the gpu (or both at the same time if possible).

Black Friday is coming up. Plus the Holiday Season is rolling around. Good time for sales. Check the prices now then wait for Black Friday. See if it's acceptable to you. Wilds is at the end of Feb. So there's lots of time.

Hard to say, with 1k you probably not will be able to play wilds at 60fps but if you don't mind you can actually build some ok pc at this price.
For this kinda budget it would be better for you either build your own pc or ask a friend, or someone that not going to ask too much money, to build it for you.

Another thing is, we might tell you some ideas of hardware but it might end being way more expensive for you because of regional prices.
I already found an 4060 costing $5 more than an 3060 on other countries for example.

I would honestly tell you to just go to youtube and try to search for video of 1k budgets, and watch them just for an metric.
But don't take them way too serious, watch more than 1 single video and do your own research both in prices and performance, so you don't end buying something that you'll regret later.

The new zen 5 cpu are near impossible to mess up now, cuz they have a new pin type even if you somehow pull off bending them a little the way they make contact now is much better then before especially for fool proof measures. They basically lay flat instead of being actual pins now!

But yeah a few videos and your good pretty easy to build a PC they aren't delicate flowers. I build my first 1 idk 5-7 or so PCs ago when I was a teen did it on my own and bin doing it since. Saves a lot of money
