When I was a freshman in high school I spent about $2000 I had saved up to build myself a pretty nice first computer, or at least it was at the time.
I've since fallen off from gaming and am now wanting to get back into it.
How dated is my rig?
>GTX 580 Twin frozen ii whatever edition
>i7-2600k overclocked
>8GB ram
>7200rpm drive
I just downloaded Fallout 4 last night, should I install it? Will it even run?
Im sure you could
Your rig is more than fine for 1080p 60fps fallout 4.
Yes, high to ultra at 1080 easily
It's probably the least demanding/worst looking AAA game of the year, though fairly unoptimised

How do you save 2 grand as a high school freshman?
or do you just mean you combined all your birthday and christmas money.
Why don't you fucking try it?
>>51320650
Yeah, I saved up birthday money. I also did a few child acting gigs that I had saved.
I just recently got hired as a pharmacy technician, so now maybe I can upgrade my GPU. Have they come down in price to where something better than what I have now would be cheap?

Yea a GTX 960 is faster and 300 dollary doos.
But if you only play at 1080p you have no reason to upgrade.

I am fine at 1080p, just what I wanted to hear. Thank you. I have it installing now.

>580
Not too dated, but if you feel the need this is best place to drop the dosh.
Modern cards with More & Faster VRAM will help with 4K
>2600K
Shit is fine mah nigga
>8GB RAM
Drop 8 more in there, just wait for a sale, useful for mods and modern games
>Standard HDD
Get a 256GB SSD, drop windows and your favorite games on it. Get some new 2/3/4TB drives for other shit. (You will love the load time reduction)
>FO4
Nigga that shit will run perfect, maybe not at ULTRA+MSAAx9001 but 1080p Med-High with 60fps
I was using a C2Q untill recently with dual 7770 @1GHZ and upgraded for shits and giggles.
>>51320514
That's still a decent pc. Replace the 580 if you want an upgrade.
>>51320803
Better off getting a 280x or a r9 290
>>51321494
I'm actually seeing the 960 around 200 dollars, is it that much of an upgrade over the 580? I know if I don't need to upgrade now I'll definitely have to eventually
>>51321890
Just wait until you need to, and see what's available then.
Nvidia and AMD are releasing new cards next year I think, so if you don't need to upgrade now might as well wait until then.
>>51320514
i'll give you $350 for that shit.
what kind of fucking post is this? How retarded are you OP needing to be this fed.
Anybody got tips for performance optimisation in FO4? GTAV ran like shit after install but perfectly after disabling the right things
I've got an i5-4440, evga gtx 750Ti superclocked ftw, and 8GB of ram. Would I be ok for Fallout 4 1080p 60fps maybe like medium settings?
>>51321890
Try it with your current rig, if it works do not upgrade. For the most part your rig is good for 1080p games. The current trend is moving to 4k so unless you want to switch to 4k you have no real need to buy a new computer.

Why is everyone telling him his 580 is fine? Even 780's are pure shit nowadays
