So i just watched it and noticed how bad it would look on my PC. it would most likely lag and i would have to play in low settings, where it would probably still lag. I tried to play just cause 2 on High but it still would lag alot even on low!

here are my specs:

CPU: AMD A8-6600K 3.9GHz Quad-Core Processor

Graphics: EVGA GeForce GT 740 2GB Superclocked Video Card

Monitor: HDMI HP monitor. dont know what model but it's 1680 x 1050 resolution

i have 16 gigs of RAM

most games i had required lots of graphics on my old crappy pc which is why i built this one. i saw gameplay like this with the graphics card but it just doesnt look the same. Do i need a better CPU or smaller Monitor resolution or something?

On the video his CPU was a Intel Core i5 4460 up to 3.4GHz. not sure if thats what is making run better than what it would look on mine.

if you need to know other specs i will gladly add them

His CPU is ALOT better than yours. That will make a difference, but with a low end card like a gt740, I wouldn't expect more than low settings in order to get good FPS.
