Is it possible to build a pc from the ground up with a $400 budget to play fallout 4 and gta v.

popatim · Nov 23, 2015

Not really; sadly. You're best bet at that price is an xbox1

Gavin77832 · Nov 23, 2015

With it as well.

It is possible, but only if you are building the PC and not including a Windows OS or a monitor in the $400 budget.

I have a monitor. I will have to purchase Windows OS though. But im looking for the cheapest build I can to play Fallout 4 and GTA V. Im a Senoir in high school so i dont have access to a lot of money.

If you need to buy Windows, then you basically need to increase your budget to $500.

OK Thanks. Do you have any recommendations on parts i should use that are compatible to eachother. This is also my first build.

Thank you for your help. So this will play Fallout 4, GTA V, and Call of Duty: Black Ops ll. How would it run a bit laggy or smooth just wondering.

Gavin77832 · Nov 24, 2015

Not to be ungrateful or anything but could you possibly come up with an amd processer build. Intel is really expensive. And AMD has a processer out for $ 99 that i wanted.

For Fallout 4 you should be able to play the game at 1080p and medium settings with decent performance; ~ 40 FPS on average. But some settings should be not enabled like "GodRays". Also, there are areas where FPS will definitely drop below 40 FPS like some indoor locations and Diamond City.

GTA 5 will likely also be playable at 1080p with medium settings. COD:BO2 should be the easiest of the three games to play since it does not seem to have high system requirements. I never played either of these games.

Can you read my other comment after the question i just asked you and tell me what you think.

The Intel i3-4170 is only $105; $6 more than whatever AMD CPU you are looking at.

Fallout 4 is a pretty CPU dependent game and the Core i3 will perform better than a FX-8350 in that game. Below is a benchmarks using a GTX 980 Ti with medium settings @ 1080p. Naturally, the GTX 980 Ti will perform better than the GTX 750 Ti. I would avoid AMD's A8 and A10 APU series, they are weaker than the AMD's Piledriver generation FX CPU leased back in 2012.

Ok i just want to make sure i3 will do the job.

Gavin77832 · Nov 24, 2015

Ok thanks that image just came up. I will use the build you gave me above and the processer i was comparing i3 to was amd fx-6300.

Good job Jaguar. I though FO4 required a quad core (min specs) but I see the G3258 on that list and doing well for what it is. LoL

What do i need the dvd burner for? Also, popatim i thought the same thing you had to have quad core that is why i was sketchy about that build at first.

Gavin77832 · Nov 25, 2015

What do you guys honestly think about the Intel Pentium G3258 dual-core processor @ 3.2 GHz.
