Hi. I'm looking if I can play Ark: Survival Evolved at decent resolution and low to medium graphics. I got this PC second hand so I don't know if it was built or prebuilt.

My system is down below.

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit
Ram: 16gb
CPU: Amd A8-6600k APU 3.9ghz (Overclocked to 4.6ghz)
GPU: Amd Radeon HD 8570d


I'd like if my rig could play at least 30fps. I played Gta 5 at 1080 resolution with low graphics and could get 30-35 fps.


Thanks.

For $450 there's basically nothing you can do without buying everything used. For $500 you can try http://pcpartpicker.com/list/63qHzM

Well if he already has the pc he listed, he can salvage the case and the hardrive at the very least so that should take almost $80 off the cost. Also, I wouldn't recommend a gtx 750ti when the gtx 950 and rx 460 are going for the same price with better performance.

Another suggestion: If your motherboard is fm2+ and not fm2, then you could get a an athlon x4 860k (athlon 760k may be ok if the board is only fm2 but it may bottleneck). The 860k is not as good as the i3 6300, but it shouldn't bottleneck any gpu in your price range and you won't have to replace your motherboard+ram.
 


I haven't seen any 460s at all in stock, and both are ~120 when that one I listed was going for $80. Yes the 950 is better, but it's also 50% more expensive ;) If he salvages disks and case, he could go for a 960 even, only $140 on sale
