Can I run ark? Gta V?

[Lodlike8]

This is the PC I'm thinking about getting: http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-steam-machine/dkcwa01s
I was wondering if this steam machine could be playable at high setting? Should I go a step higher for this steam machine? http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/alienware-steam-machine/dkcwa02s Or maybe this cyber power: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/INTEL_i3_SFF_Configurator
I have a R7 260X that I can use, sorry for all the link, plz tell me other gaming rigs that r good for games like ARK and GTA V that is around 500$! Thanks

no it would struggle with ark on low settings (it might not even be playable) i also dont know the exact gpu it runs so i cant better evaluate it.

I don't recommend having a steamOS pc. The drivers suck on there right now. It's in your best interest to build a gaming pc with $500

Do any of those three look good? U got any recommendations

 

[cdabc123]

the one you linked from cyber is a fine pc but ark is still a pretty intensive. it will run it but it will not max it

There's this one I saw http://www.walmart.com/ip/46186721?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222228033735332&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=70399266752&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=138224602592&veh=sem and then I can use my r7 260x

 

[cdabc123]

does it have to be a small form factor? you could build a much better system if you willing to get a bit creative.

Not on High settings, unless you like Frame Festivals. ARK brings even the meanest machines to their knees and sends them packing. I will qualify that by adding you can select High textures but you will have to drop many other post processing effects to null and void for playable frame rates, especially on PVP servers. The PC version has had hints of improvement. 2GB of VRAM on the PC version will very likely never be enough for 60FPS with preset High settings in a 1080p resolution.

yup. i managed to get around 30 fps on highish settings with a heavily overclocked 750ti and a xeon x5677.

I have a fx 8350 I can use and a r7 260x

if you already have a cpu just buy a mobo psu and case no need for a prebuilt

 

[Lodlike8]

Fx8350 or i3 better for gaming?

 

[cdabc123]

Fx8350 or i3 better for gaming?

for most games the i3 but if you already have the fx i see no reason to switch

 

[Lodlike8]

I'm not making a computer Bc I was when every single time there was a problem after another after another, one time screen didn't show up then I replaced a part then MOBO started beeping and I swear I can never get it to work

 

[cdabc123]

ok then that cyber power pc will e the best

 

[Lodlike8]

Ok I will go with cyberpower then, can I put in my r7 260x into that? I can't tell?

Yeah this man has it very much spot on.

I struggle to keep 60 frames in ark at 1080p and low/medium settings with an i7-5820k, 16gb ddr4 and a gtx 970 (all three of which are pretty highly overclocked)

yup

 

[Lodlike8]

And would that build be able to play on medium settings?

 

[cdabc123]

And would that build be able to play on medium settings?

it will be closer to low settings in ark

Would the game look good still on low

 

[cdabc123]

yes it looks fine
