Need of Help

[SavageRico]

Also im not sure if a laptop is the only way you wish to go, but it is common knowledge that you can build or buy a desktop with much better performance for the same price.

The laptop is what im using now and the desktop is what i was thinking of buying. i have never build a desktop before but i was wondering if this unit would be upgrade-able in the video card and to add a SDD to get my feet wet in messing with a rig.

Im really thankful for all the support, for what im hearing the newegg desktop should run on normal with the fps im looking for (45) so thats great to hear! if anyone has any input or know of a better deal else where please let me know. My budget is really low the highest i could go is 500 atm. the laptop is overheating running this game so i was looking to buy this soon.

What is your current framerate? Mine is at a steady... 15 FPS, sometimes 20 on a good day.. in particularly crowded/effect heavy areas it drops to like. 4. (that really only gets that bad around hunts though).

I've turned off all effects save for my party, and even physics off for all but myself. I think I may have mostly low graphics settings. The only fight I really truly have trouble with is Titan (he and I have a hate/hate relationship). So it's not impossible to play. Looking at those specs though...no graphics card. If you're going out of your way to get a good gaming PC, splurge a little on a graphics card. (Also personally that HDD space is like...nothing... I would need a TB at least nowadays, but hey...)

(Will admit, I'd RATHER play on a nice system but hey. Work with what you got).

<__________< 20 FPS, wow. You're better off playing on a ps3 at that point.

Not sure how much gaming you do, but you could always leave that laptop for everyday needs and get a PS4. I run everything maxed and only get a FPS drop around ridiculously populated s ranks. other than that, game play and speed is beautiful on the ps4. Not to mention the price is a fraction of a potent gaming pc.

Im into both FFXIV and WoW, im waiting for Legion to drop so this would be for both in a sense.

They still jump around and move, but there's no blinding lights or fancy effects. Basically it's *only* the character's movement.

Which, IMO tends to look better anyway in most cases. I don't quite get why SE seems to think that every movement anyone makes needs to be accompanied by huge swirling bursts of light. There are a few effects I kind of miss when they're turned off, but good riddance to most of them. (I turn them off just to avoid the distracting screen clutter that otherwise blocks my view of the fight. My PS4 could handle them just fine.)


(Sorry, I don't have anything more on-topic to add. That Newegg system looks decent enough in general, but I don't play this game on PC.)

even that small input is helpful to me, im really confused on how to tell whats good and whats not. Even more so if i can possible add/change to a better video card and add a SDD for my OS and Games

And does this game have issues running on win 10?

[Siwy]

The devs are still looking into the win 10 stuff, so it's not currently supported...yet. As for me, I'm looking into building a decent desktop rig that'll run the game on ultimate without overheating or eating up too much RAM or CPU usage. My budget's on the small side as well--about $700. This'd be the first rig I've ever built, so I have no idea what I'm doing. What would be the best parts for me to use that work within that budget? I am also looking at getting a wireless gaming mouse and keyboard, as I'd be using my TV for the monitor and want to sit back away from it on my bed.
