Hey, back at January I upgraded my PC a little but it still isn't too great. I am considering buying Fallout 4 but I do not know if I can run it to my satisfaction. Here are my system specs:

AMD Athlon X4 750k @4.20GHz,
4GB DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance RAM,
Nvidia GeForce 315.

My GPU is very poor and I don't have much ram, but anything around 20-25fps I am okay with. I run GTAV at around 20fps lowest possible settings except from resolution, Assassin's Creed III at around 25-30fps on 'normal' settings (poorly optimized game), and Fallout 3 & New Vegas at a just about locked 60fps on medium settings. I am looking for specific, detailed answers. Thanks for your help :)
 


Are you certain? I know that a GTX is better than a GT and the 630 I am using right now is not designed for gaming.
 
Trust me, I went from a GTX 650 to a GTX 970 and I went from sub par 30fps low settings at 1080p to ultra 60fps vysnced 1080p. I absolutely love my MSI GTX 970 4Gb, without it I wouldn't be able to play ALL of my games high - ultra. I love Killing Floor 2 and Shadow Of Mordor the most.

To use a GTX 970 you need a decent tier 1-2 PSU at at least 500w and then a Haswell i5 to keep up with it or you can get an i7 so you wont be CPU limited in games as my i5 can run graphically intense games fine but its when it comes to CPU intense games it may struggle now and then even thou its very powerful. That be why I have an i7 4790k coming today.
