building a pc for this game

[Deathwhitch]

Oh look, another spec thread that devolved into a dick measuring contest.

That said, I think people underestimate the power required to run this game at max, smoothly. It's not all that well optimized, so I find it hilarious these know-it-all's actually think a $800 machine will pull off what the OP wants. You'll get something respectable for sure, but you won't be running 60fps consistently.

Well I had given up on this thread on about page four, started it on another site and got a better response.

I did manage to get something capable of turning it max settings at 60 for around 800. 850ish to be exact, so a Lil over budget but Craigslist save me again lol

What I got buying piece by piece on Craigslist

Intel core I5 3570k with a Asus p8z77-v motherboard (bought together)
1 tb Toshiba 7200rpm hdd
8gb Kingston ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 4gb sli ready
Thermalake 550w psu

OS, optical drive and tower scavenged from am old minecraft server I built

All in all I think I did good and I'm happy with it. Sill installing, downloading final fantasy but the benchmark says fully capable of running max. Thanks for the advice on the 760 card it was a good call, and the I5 over the six core amd. I'm killing the benchmark on max and I haven't even overcooked anything yet lol
