So I challenge all who read this to post what they want me to build, and I will show them how cheap it is. Example Questions: Forum User 1: "Build a PC that can run Far Cry 3 maxed out in 1080p." OP: Posts short parts list and total price that maxes out Far Cry 3 at 30 FPS at listed specs.
Forum User 2: "Build a PC that beats the Wii U" OP: Posts short parts list and total price that beats the Wii U soundly for as cheap as possible.
NOTE: 1)I am not going to include OS in price since windows rarely needs to be bought, and Linux is free. However add $75 to the price if you want to know what it would cost with Windows 7. 2)Mouse, Monitor, keyboard and other stuff EVERYONE has are also not included. 3)At times I may not max out a game using rediculous settings. I.E. Anything above x2 MSAA in BF3 is not at all noticable in 1080p. |
So my PC runs FC3 on max at 30FPS, it cost just under £1,000 without the other stuff, though I did have to buy all of that stuff that "everyone" has. Also, you can't play games without Windows.
However, I reckon that you could get 30FPS with 1 graphics card down, a 660. So you are still looking at ~£800 I reckon
