Will this PC run Shogun 2? What settings?

[Benzo]

Looking into getting a computer for gaming. Not really a PC interior Wiz-kid. So looking for some help. I have around £500 - £600 to do so.

After looking around I think ComputerPlanet will be the best place to get my PC from. Put some things together but need feedback.

Here is the first one I have built:

CPU: Intel i5 3550
Heatsink: Intel Heatsink & Fan
Power: ComputerPlanets own 700W PSU
Memory: Corsair 8GB XMS3 PC3-10666 1333MHz (2x4GB)
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 6450 - 1 GB - (XFX) - Silent - (PCI-E)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D2V (Intel H61) - VGA
Sound Card: Motherboard Integrated HD Sound
Networking: Wireless LAN 300Mbps (PCI-E)

Hard Drive: 1 TB (1000 GB) SATA-II HDD 7200 RPM 32MB
Optical Drive: Samsung 24x DVD/CD Re-Writer/Reader - Black - (SATA)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 Standard 64 BIT (Genuine DVD & COA Included)

Also includes Logitech keyboard + mouse. Got internet security and comes with a 16gb flash drive.

That would cost... £589.27

If anybody could tell me where I could get a better cheaper for a similar or cheaper price pleae give me a link to the website, or tell me what I could change.

Thanks.

I saw the specs and I was like: "what a stupid topic name, this dude came here to brag about his new PC". Of course you can run S2 on that, with not much problems either.

I want to know what settings aswell however. Want this CPU to last a good few years.

May not get a CPU like this till mid next year when I get the money together.

Will this PC run Shogun 2 on high settings or what?

Your gear looks good.Im only concerned about your GPU. AMD 6450 is kinda old card if you compare it to evertything else you have.Now, if you have AMD 7770 or Nvidia GTX 650 there would be no question if you can run it on high but with 6450 im not sure.It will depend on your screen resolution and if you use anti-aliasing.

My advice:get GTX 650 TI

[TheMeat]

Oh and here is 1 more idea,get cheap mouse, and keyboard,so you can save more money.I was planning to buy similar build:

I5 3470 3.2Ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
AMD 7770
Intel B 75 motherboard

And in my country it cost 500 euros.

My advice: DONT get 6450,get 6850,or from 7xxx series 7770 or 7850 or from Nvidia GTX 650 TI.

[Benzo]

The thing is if i get the 6450, and it only runs on medium, I can wait and save up for a better Graphics card.

[Benzo]

Ok,the thing is,in every PC shop,you can build your configuration,dont have to get what they serve you,im telling you,get i5 3470,and replace 7750with 7770.Same price and you get+20% GPU performance.

Would cost £10 more.

Probably get a logitech keyboard + mouse from PC World for like £10.

Started to sell my unwanted items (Kinect, Nintendo DSi etc) to start raising money, also looking into getting a part time job.

[Benzo]

So will I be able to play on high settings?

[TheMeat]

As i said get 7770 from MSI,Gygabite or Asus instead of 7750 And you dont need core i5 3570k. K- means you can overclock it and you seem like somene who wont do that. So go for i5 3470 or 3550 or 3570(without k)and you will be good.

[TheMeat]

And yes,you will probably run it on ultra then.

[Benzo]

So the one on Ebay will be able to run it on ultra settings?

[Benzo]

May stretch tthe 7770. What settings will I probably be able to run?
