Starter PC? - mgdwszx - 06-29-2014 Hi. I would just like to put this up here to see if you guys think this is worth it. I'm building my PC after trying it out with some old parts. These are the specs: Intel Pentium-K G3258 (Over clocked to 4.5 GHz) R7 265 Dual-X 2GB GPU Windows 7 Home Premium 8GB RAM 550W Power Supply Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard drive Corsair Carbide Series Tower OCUK 22x Disk Drive Aerocool Shark Devil Fans (x2) Gigabyte Z87X SLI Intel DDR3 ATX Motherboard They're all compatible and I plan on upgrading this PC. It amounts to £520 ex VAT. Thoughts? RE: Starter PC? - Zan - 06-29-2014 I've never seen that type of GPU, make sure you get a good GPU. Not that it really matters for Garry's Mod, as any PC (providing it doesn't have Intel Integrated Graphics) can run it. Obviously having a better GPU can help out when there's a huge dupe as your Graphics card can cope with the pressure. A good PC overall, I have to say that I got ripped off with mine, so don't make the same mistake. Kind regards, Diablo RE: Starter PC? - DooZâ„¢ - 06-29-2014 (06-29-2014, 02:56 PM)Diablo Wrote: I've never seen that type of GPU, make sure you get a good GPU.

My Garry's Mod runs 60 FPS + maxed out in Fearless. Runs any game as well.

The GPU is similar to a GTX 750Ti, don't think it performs as well but its £30 cheaper on OverclockersUK. EDIT: Shows how shite my laptop is, runs GMod lowest res at 15fps. Highest I've seen it go is 26. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-pentium-g3258-s-1150-haswell-dual-core-32ghz-5-gt-s-dmi-32x-ratio-cpu R7 265 vs the GTX 750Ti RE: Starter PC? - DooZâ„¢ - 06-29-2014 (06-29-2014, 02:32 PM)Devin Wrote: Hi.

RE: Starter PC? - Trevor Jackson - 06-29-2014 Should be good for a starter PC. Processor is on the low end for a gaming build imo. You should also go for windows 8 instead of 7.

Its unlocked, people have hit 4.8Ghz with this thing RE: Starter PC? - Trevor Jackson - 06-30-2014 (06-29-2014, 07:18 PM)Devin Wrote: Its unlocked, people have hit 4.8Ghz with this thing That's fine and good, but you're still stuck with only 2 cores. Most new games today recommend at least 4. Plus, clock speed isn't everything.

Clock speed is only one of multiple things that actually matters. My advice would be at least get a quad-core, if not octo. |
