A few builds for you. Overclockable GPU / CPU support ready/SLI (two video cards if needed). Strong enough card to last you for YEARS.

My under ~2k Build ↪🔗

----------

NO SLI, but overclockable GPU / CPU support ready.

My under ~1k Build ↪🔗

I could go lower if you want me to, but thats definitely...... Enough. Even the under 1k build can MAX settings/60fps/1080p the fu*k outta games.

----

I don't suggest custom PCs unless they from ibuypower.com or cyberpowerpc.com. The other custom PC sites like Digital Storm, Alienware, etc is IF YOU'RE BALLING OUT THE GYM.

I know that was cheesey but follow me here

So yeah, if you need something else more personal just tell me (lower cost, want a controller, etc). Most things is there though.

Man these are great builds and thanks to everyone for the help, On question I was looking at motherboards and what not. but what is a good one if I wanted 2 graphics cards or is 2 cards to much

One More thing I like the second build you put in their a whole lot and with a custom PC from one of the websites you suggest can I upgrade those on my own after the fact?

Yeah you can, ibuypower / cyberpowerpc, as long as you buy a Mid Tower or a Full Tower (size of cases)

there's small little console looking cases, made for people who like small frames, don't do them if you want to upgrade after the fact.

I have a i7-5960x x99 build and it was over 3k, but I do 3d rendering so I need it.

If he just wants to play pc games there are beast builds that cost less. sh*t, should probably make a build with an r9 x2 instead of a 980. Also make that ssd 120gb. He won't need his os drive to be that big.

But to play games at good settings, eh, 1200 but if he doesn't give a sh*t about money then whatever.
You're right, I will use this to make him the best build for under 2000.

↪🔗 - This is the ~$1000 build except with a SLI compatbile motherboard. Changed it for you

SLI is how you can put two of the same "Nvidia" graphic cards together, like for example, there's a Nvidia GTX 970 in the build, you get another Nvidia GTX 970 and you put it in there and it'll be SLI now. To make it simple.

If you want a motherboard that can do 2 cards, then you need "SLI Support" for Nvidia. And "Crossfire Support" for AMD. Nvidia and AMD are the two top brands of GPUs, they're in war for the GPU market.

Watch YouTube build and review videos. (Pcper & JayZ2cents) They help a lot and they know what they're doing. Because motherboards and CPUs have PCI lane requirements/limitations etc.. Things don't need to be super complicated for a mid range build, but they can be.

Multiple gpu's have power wattage requirements but also have ram limitations depending on the build. Some multiple gpu's say if you have 2gig of vram per gpu card some builds only allow the amount of ram of the first PCI lane has in this case 2gigs of vram to be used. (I've only just learned of this). Which in this case going with one strong gpu would succeed over two lesser cards.

Hey, do you know when the next batch of new vid cards come out? I'm waiting on a price drop on 980s so I can buy my second. I would have went with dual r9 x2s but radeons don't work well in 3D programs because nvidia and Autodesk are colluding.

Quarter 1 of 2015, Im guessing March. I doubt they would wait until summertime because AMD is going to release their next video cards (and it'll be way more power efficient to compete with Nvidia), then Nvidia will release theirs right after so they can take the market back...


And the cycle continues

That's the best GPU there is. So much FPS you won't even need to count, just max out the settings and the end.

The biggest thing I suggest if building your own PC is PCPartPicker.com, they'll do all the "does this goes with this?" for you. They'll make sure everything is compatible.

or If you @🔗_tah give me a budget and tell me whether you want to build or want a custom PC, I'll make you one that you could upgrade later, I'm guessing your budget is gonna be big so It'll be no problem.

2k is on PC and Smash brothers can be emulated, just buy some controllers like you would if you had a console and done.

Them mods will be more than next level. Believe me, console verison of GTA V will be fu*ked up multiplayer and mostly dead on single player once you end it, but PC is gonna be next level, especially on the single player experience.

Oh Gawd

Nah there will be offiical servers with no mods and hacker protection (and then unofficial servers with mods all over the place) and I mean console version is fu*ked up multiplayer cause the economy, sh*t is done. It might go over to the PC version but I really hope not, if you have a tank, at least I Be like "Damn he EARNED that sh*t!", on my PS4, I see somebody with a tank and Im like, fu*k that sh*t, he aint earn that

Wait that's not what I meant lol.
I know there are official servers with no mods

I was just saying the mods will make it way more fun with all the possibilities you can do by messing around.

But why can't people fu*k with the economy on PC too?

I would think it's probably easier on PC to figure out workarounds

In my head, one: The PC version is gonna have extra DRM on it, not sure if that means anything, I heard the DRM they chose was uncracked (Could never illegally play it without a CD-Key) but now they cracked it recently so I don't know if that means anything. But Rockstar always been weak in terms of keeping out modders, even on their console games, I remember the big a$s UFO in GTA 5 Last gen versions ONLINE
emoji
or the Midnight Club LA Wheel motorcycle mod ONLINE
emoji


so overrall Rockstar may be weak as fu*k overall in handling with modders/hackers, but I got hope in the PC community that of course those unofficial lobbies will be unstable but fun but my main point is that its extra security on the PC version so hopefully things will be more stable, all im saying, where if something happen, everything will go back to normal.

One more point of something different is, alot of people get money by glitches and that has nothing to do with security or platform. They delayed the version of GTA V PC for extra time, now look at it, its ported perfectly by the recommended specs so hopefully all the money glitches, etc is checked out and erased from, not just the upcoming PC version but the next gen and last gen versions too. (So the online economy wont be fu*ked up)

Yeah hopefully but like you said R* isn't so great at defending against that kind of stuff.
imo it doesn't completely break the game though I don't think. You can still have a good time for the most part..but it can get bad I guess..
