I’ve been reading up on building pcs for a few months now, I honestly still feel a bit lost with the whole process but I’m trying to learn more. I’m looking to build my own pc for the first time, I use my pc mainly for gaming. The issue with my current pc is that it doesn’t have the specs to run games well especially when it comes to graphics. It’s also an old pc that was handed down to me. Im looking for something that can handle games with high graphics requirements and can run them smoothly with minimal worry of crashing. I play games like RDR2, prehistoric kingdom, fallout 4, JWE and others. I do use mods on a few of my games. My biggest issue with my current pc is I can’t run games like RDR2 or PK without having the graphics set to “low” or else the games just lag & crash. I don’t want to have to constantly worry about turning all the graphics down on every single game.
I may possibly wait till the price of RAM drops a bit but I want to have a plan set in place. Thank you.
