[Ramen]

im really bad for pc's and what parts are good so does anyone know like a 300-500 dollar build in CAD?

GTA V was released this year for the PC.

I got a new 970 a couple weeks ago on sale at Newegg for $300 with a $30 rebate and the free "Bullets or Blades" code (I chose AC:S). I'm running Fallout 4 on all Ultra (with every option/effect turned on and maxed except motion blur) on an i5-3570 (no OC) PC. I only dip below 60 in downtown Boston.

However, you won't be able to afford a $300 card in a $500 build. I've seen refurbished 960's around $160 when they are on sale which would definitely run Fallout 4 pretty decently.

Refurbished GTX 960 ~ $180
Case ~ $60-$80
PSU ~ $80
Motherboard LGA 1150 ~ $100
CPU i5-4590 ~ $185
CPU cooler ~ $30
8 Gigs DDR ~ $50
HDD ~ $50

Total still is around ~ $750 without buying monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS, etc.

To get closer to 600:
-Could reuse an old case and/or PSU
-Could downgrade to i3 with a cheap mobo
-Could "obtain" Windows somewhere

If you start skimping on parts, I'd definitely get some feedback about the specific part so that you know you aren't giving up something you can't live without.

Why don't you get it on PS4 It works better, and get it on PC when you have money.

Our dollar isn't worth ♥♥♥♥ at the moment.

It cost $460 just to upgrade my GPU to play this game. And that was buying on sale.

I guess I should say my figures are in USD.

my max amount is 600 and i had ps4 before and it was a huge waste of money

Well i run amd since i cant afford a good intel system. you can see my stats in my profile. i run at max settings.

for 600 dollars you can get an FX6300 witha decent motherboard and 8 gb of memory. A cheap case with a bronze 650 watt power supply and 1tb harddrive. Also an R9 380 and the dvd drive plus the disk drive.

I added it up at newegg. comes to 574. you should be able to play at medium settings with this setup.

Of course that doesn't include the keyboard, mouse, speakers or headset, operating system, or monitor.

Ya even for 600 dollars your screwed.

Looking at the original posters profile. I find myself somewhat perplexed. Shouldn't the question be about upgrading as opposed to a fresh build. They should have much more latitude in their build budget. I am not talking about money, but the parts already in their possession. I think for the sake of brevity the original poster should clarify their position or situation. I think we all got the impression that this was for you as opposed to someone else.

The only likely conclusion I can draw is that they are moving from laptop to desktop, but if that is the case then wouldn't an external gpu be a better solution owing to the limited budget. Just get a kit, and plug a powerful card into it. Then once you get enough money together you can give that card a proper home.

sorry but you wont get a pc for 300 that will play this well. but a ps4 will

[Machine123]

If your limit is under $500 for a gaming pc, I would recommend an Xbox one or ps4. At least you know for sure Fallout 4 will run without any problems.

Get a console in all honesty as even if you get a semi decent one that can run games, it will be obsolete by the end of next year (maybe sooner). I spent nearly $3000 on my PC and I think between $1000-$1500 is an acceptable price range for a PC that will remain useable for a few years. (That's in AUD btw)

This is some more ignorant information. If you are smart with your build, you can easily build a $600 PC that will last a few years and leave room for future upgrades. My PC is going on four years old and all I've done is upgraded the GPU and I can run every game on ultra settings at 1440p. Build a base PC now but pick parts that will be suitable for upgrading in the future.
