This. I doubt the game will be that graphically intensive. You could build a decent PC for $700 or so that would run the game fine.

well that could be a good idea, ill even have some extra money when the summer is over but i dont think i can afford internet and a computer, my mom is cheap and wont get internet or let me have my own computer i dont think but if all works out ill be moving out next year anyway. the only reason i have internet right now is because im at my grandparents house working for the summer

$500 is cutting it a bit. I recommend saving atleast $700 (not including monitor)

Thanks, I do love this system I built last year. It is great.

Before you blow hundreds on a gaming PC make sure you check out the game first. If you like Skyrim, especially for the combat, graphics or interactivity, Elder Scrolls Online might not be for you.

Haven't played RIFT on here before, but it can max any game I throw at it at 5760x1080....except Crysis 2 with High res textures and DX11, I can run at high for 60FPS.

--Edit-- Didnt mean for this to have its own post.

Choose compatible parts. Like I said, $700 is a good starting place. What else is needed besides the tower itself? Monitor, Keyboard/Mouse, speakers/headphones?

well i never built a computer before dont you have to build the tower to or would it be cheaper to buy one that is already set up?

I find it better to build the system yourself. Its usually cheaper and its good experience.

is there a good place to do that, if so i need to start doing my homword because i have no clue what needs to go into a computer

Newegg.com

http://Newegg.com is a great place to find parts.

http://www.tomshardware.com/ has some good tutorials and reviews and stuff. And you can always ask here http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1376885-the-community-tech-thread-no-115/

Basically in order to build the computer you need:
Tower Case
Operating System
RAM
Video Card
Processor
Motherboard
Optical Drive
Hard Drive
Power Supply Unit

And you need to make sure that they are all compatible components. (Mainly the CPU/RAM/Motherboard are the ones you need to worry about the most with that)

I bought a rig for Skyrim and was let down by it, its a console first game they ported to PC. Yeah yeah yeah they have mods that make it look alittle better but still not impressed. Combat isnt that great in Skyrim not sure what game your playing. What does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactivity have to do with anything? Still wish I bought it for PS3.

Building a computer is the way to go. More bang for your buck.

i play on the 360 and with a good tv it looks great, and thank for the help if i build one you help will probably have saved me

» Sun Jun 17, 2012 1:55 pm

No problem, good luck with the potential build!

I actually hope it isn't on console. They would need to simplify the game so much in order to make it work on a controller.
