Hello,

I am looking for a PC that can run GTA V at high settings. I would prefer a PC that is pre-built as I am not that experienced in PC building, etc. I can probably do it, but I need a PC that is within $4-500.

Thanks,

Tough to find a prebuilt with enough power to run it at high for less than $500.00. A DIY build for $500.00 would look something like this:

Would that laptop have the power to run GTA at high? I really appreciate the answer on this, that desktop looks great and cheap!

I am pretty sure that the laptop will be able to run the GTA V at some low setting even on 1080, also I think that it will be able to play the GTA V 720p on medium settings pretty fair on 30+FPS, but yeah, 1366x768 will be pretty smooth
