Go to system requirements lab, and check it out. I can't say 100% because I'm on my school laptop.

Long_Shadow15 · Mar 2, 2015

I'm at school too, but planning on picking it up when I get home. XD

EDIT: Game Debate says I can't run it, but it's been wrong before.

Long_Shadow15 :

I run a geforce 610, and it's been wrong.. But that is a seriously weak card, and I still push it to limits I shouldn't- like playing fallout new vegas with 40+ mods (;.. poor card..

This is from system requirements lab. I think you should be able to run it.

System Requirements Lab says I can run it, is it more accurate than Game Debate, I don't want to buy it and then not be able to play it.

Long_Shadow15 :

I find them to be pretty damn accurate.

Long_Shadow15 · Mar 9, 2015

I can run it at 30FPS, 60FPS would be nice, probably need to update the GFX Card.

Long_Shadow15 :

You have a high end CPU update your card lol

Diox55 · Mar 10, 2015

ZeroGravity780 :

This is definitely a pre built system.. I'm going to say a Dell XPS that costs right around a grand. I don't see how they can label the 745 series as gtx, seing as most of their vram is GDDR3.

ZeroGravity780 · Mar 10, 2015

Diox55 :

Definitely an XPS, im on one right now, its my work computer. But if your going to game i would have bought a gaming pc not a workshop pc.

Yeah. For a grand OP could have built something with an i5 and at least a 280x, if not a 290. He still has that opportunity though..

ZeroGravity780 · Mar 10, 2015

Well atleast he got a nice i7 so no harm done there, im sure his psu is poor quality and i cant see the case support aftermarket coolng, or providing great cooling for that matter.

Diox55 · Mar 10, 2015

ZeroGravity780 :

I see something like case swap, new gpu, and new power supply. The ram is fine, along with the hard drive. Since he can't overclock the motherboard should be fine, but I don't know how high quality of boards Dell makes.

ZeroGravity780 · Mar 10, 2015

Me either im sure their decent as they tend to last a long time but with those changes he'd have his self a nice gaming pc.

And the new PSU, GPU and case would be about $350-$400.

If he just wanted to future proof it more, then this would be a damn good setup. The 290 from XFX is such a kickass little card. Or he could go to gpushack.com and buy a refurbished 7950 for 140 bucks and still be set.

ZeroGravity780 · Mar 10, 2015

That 290 requires a minimum 750 Watts

Diox55 · Mar 10, 2015

ZeroGravity780 :

That's ridiculous. I've seen people run it on this psu a few times, or similar 650 watt ones. If it is necessary, then you can get an XFX 80+ gold fully modular for 91 bucks right now.

ZeroGravity780 · Mar 10, 2015

Im just saying thats what it says it recommended

Diox55 · Mar 10, 2015

ZeroGravity780 :

I understand.. I would personally recommend for him to go onto gpushack. Such a kick ass site with awesome reviews. You can also get cables for 50 cents after you purchase a gpu.

http://gpushack.com/

I might end up buying a gpu for my first build from them, unless I get a better deal on hardware swap over at reddit.

ZeroGravity780 · Mar 10, 2015

Depends how old the card is that 970 is only like $30 bucks cheaper, in that case id buy a new one then refurb.
