Is it going to run? whaaaaat!?

[🐾ZeTruth🐾]

can i run fallout 4 in this spec?
processor:Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz
Motherboard:GIGABYTE Z370XP SLI / GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming / GIGABYTE Z370M D3H(im short on budget i just want to know which mobo is combo with Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake)
By the way GPU is not included to my budget tho, but if i can save money in my newbuild maybe i can get one :)
Ty for your feedback

Same integrated graphics as yours and not lot of processing difference in games but I'd double-check the price-difference on 8600 vs 8400. I like ASUS or Gigabyte - talk to them about compatibility or check their specs.

maybe take the processer back notch and get a GPU

That would be a bad thing, and make for a much shorter gaming lifespan.

If anything I would spend another 50 to get the 8600 and hope to ride a bit longer on the 15% effective difference.

I would try to get a budget card asap, just for the enjoyment factor. If the 1050TI were still cheap or a 1060 (not so cheap, last I looked).

i meant beg the spec back so he can aford a gpu (rideing the cpu as both a CPU and GPU would shorten the lifespan)

I get what you're saying. I'm not in any way a fan of integrated graphics and often the AGPUs are junk but as high of leaps as the games are taking in CPU and GPU demands, if the OP downgrades to a lower tech (than 8th gen Intel) it might lead to a situation of not even being able to play games in a much shorter course. Personally, I'd probably go the route you suggested and while that has always worked for me it seems mid-range gaming PCs have shorter and shorter lifespans. Now if it will be 6mos. or more to add a GPU, it might be worth rethinking the purchase.

how about this?Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) ,GIGABYTE Z370XP SLI and GIGABYTE GTX1050TI OC 4GB

[🐾ZeTruth🐾]

and hyper x 8gb

You need a gpu! End of

dont kid yourself skimping and using intergrated graphics is a bad idea your better off building a gaming rig.that vidio showing IG card doesnt show any gameplay and with good reason. build a full gaming rig with what you can afford or upgrade your exsisting rig the 6700k and 7700k will be plenty for years to come.just as the 3770k is still a strong runner today.dont believe the hype just having a solid cpu is not enough need decent M.B.and solid vidio card as well 6GB or more.getting the bottom of the barrel in the 370 M.B.is going to suck.gigabyte is a poor performing M.B.imo..maybe try giving your old pc new life do a fresh windows install and new paste it may suprise you as to how much better it runs.till you can afford something decent.

It's not hype. I never waste the money on the latest CPU. I still run a i5-4790. That doesn't mean that games aren't more demanding and at an acclerated rate. If you think saving $100 or so to get a CPU that is already on the recommended specs by all means, good luck with that.

8700k on the otherhand is considerably more. I would wait until the price drops. If he's not getting a GPU for 6 mos, as it now looks, yes it would be better to build a gaming rig but he'll need to cross his fingers he can run games in 1-2 years.

I don't even think a 6700K is much cheaper than what he's after and those integrated graphics probably won't work, only the 8xxx series. A good solution if used for temporary purpose as the CPU/motherboard is the foundation, wheras GPU is not.

this is what im saying do a small upgrade to his exsisting rig to breath new life rather than go bottom of the barrel m.b.and no vid card its a serious waste of money and yes games are accelerating but thier not out of reach by no means the 3770k as well as your 4790 can still handle them very well and the 6700k and 7700k will easily handle them the next few years as well.

A 6700k costs more than an 8400, yet would not be compatible with a better CPU down the road (the motherboard). In either case that doesn't leave enough for a GPU either. So we're talking a much lower system to cover a GPU. One that won't likely be sufficient for 3 years.

were on the same page here.i dont think you realize that im not saying buy anything im saying work with what he has and save and get it in one shot by the time hes ready 8400 may be the old and to 9000 series will be out lets face it they put out a new cpu every year hense the hype.they'd like you to believe yours is out of date its just not true its a selling technique and most believe it.5 to 10% increase is nothing.wait 4 to 5 years between cpus and you'll see a signifigant jump in performance.im talking real world performance in gaming not on paper or thier loaded tests.my main reason for my original post was he will not be happy with the integrated graphics and for the most part will be useless.
