Can these specs run ATS in ultra, 1920x1080, 400% at 60fps+ ?
Hey everybody, I'm about to build a new PC and I would like to know if I will be able to run ATS in ultra, 400%, 1920x1080 at 60fps+ with the following specs:

1.

-Intel Core i5-7500 (3.4 GHz)
-G.Skill RipJaws 4 Series 8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz CL15
-MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X 4G or Sapphire NITRO Radeon RX 480 4G (UEFI) Lite
-Crucial MX300 275 GB

2.

-Intel Core i5-7500 (3.4 GHz)
-2x G.Skill RipJaws 4 Series 8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz CL15, which means 16 GB of RAM
-MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X 4G or Sapphire NITRO Radeon RX 480 4G (UEFI) Lite
-Crucial MX300 275 GB

Is there anybody here playing ATS with the same specs ?

As regards the compatibilty of the components, I have already checked with people who build computers ;)

Doubt it. Doesn't matter what modern graphics card you use. The game have big engine limitations here.
My guess is a more powerful CPU will help more. The game is mostly single core operations so a high frequenzy Intel cpu is the way to go.

I'll give you an idea on what my last machine was in which I could run everything on high without issue:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 GHz
RAM: Some Kingston HyperX RAM I believe, DDR2 8 GB total (I forgot the speed)
HDD: WD Black
GPU: nVidia GTX 550 Ti and a 750 Ti.

It wasn't the best by any means, but it definitely worked to play the game on all high settings, even at a stable framerate. Bare in mind, I'm not a FPS ♥♥♥♥♥ like some people are. 30 FPS is perfectly playable to me while in the city or something.

This is my current system now:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700k 4.2 GHz
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw 4 32GB 3000MHz
HDD: WD Black again (very, very few games I put on the SSD I have)
GPU: Again, played on a GTX 750 Ti, upgraded to a GTX 1070.

It all runs flawlessly for me.

So, to be frank, I don't see an issue with running the game on all high settings even on a Kaby Lake CPU. One thing this game can benefit from though, is multi-threading, which I'm starting to suspect is the main culprit as to why some people do have issues. Fortunately I don't as the frames are stable throughout the game for me.
