I want another Dave Mirra's BMX game

I was hoping for around 600-700 considering I've already got a graphics card and hard drives. I've already looked at a few units and got some prices, my main point to ponder is whether it's worth it to fork out the extra $150 for an i7 over an i5.

What is your budget?

Here is a build you can do for about $1k.

Edit, Sorry didn't see your post above.

Go with an i5 and use the money saved on 16GB RAM imo.

OK. Surely she (Michele Bachmann) couldn't be so ******ed.

Oh she surely is.

and a fast ssd

 

[Chrizzt]

i5-6600
Asus H170M-E-D3 Motherboard
Corsair 8 GB DDR3 (might go up to 16 now)
Basic case, DVD, 650W PSU
$750 odd from MSY... seems pretty decent to me

Any other recommendations from you folks who seem to know a bit more about this?

Edit: Have an ssd an hdd already, to go with GTX 750 Ti

One of these is not like the others. These pitches are ****ing outrageous.

I agree that he's a bit out of place in that company, but I don't mind Khawaja. He defends really fluidly and now seems to be carrying that through to his attack.
Lets wait to see how the Kiwis go on the pitch before it gets judged too harshly.

I would recommend buying a mid-tower case so if the time comes that you want to upgrade your video card you can without having to buy a new case.

If you are finicky about cable management, go for a modular PSU, only use the cables you need and can keep the guts free from cables which improves airflow.

He's called Roy.

Probably best to wait until after it's released to find out what it really needs in the budget zone. A lot of people think it's recommended specs are overkill

Use a console like a real gamer m8

Bethesda games on PC aren't the most optimised so it's probably better to overkill the specs.

Nah, I like my RTS and play a lot of Civ 5 etc.
