Gaming CPU Specifications

[Michael John Luyun]

Hello Everyone! i have my own customize build of my CPU, my specs are:

Motherboard: ASUS B85M-G
Processor: Intel i5-4460
Memory: 4GB Kingston HyperX Blue
Video Card: Palit GeForce GTX 750 OC 1GB
HDD: Seagate 500GB
PSU: Corsair VS550W
Casing: Aerocool v3x

now my questions are:
1. Is this specs can run High/Ultra Settings on Assassin's Creed Black Flag and Unity?
2. Is this specs can run lower FPS??

Thanks for who will be answer this!

It won't run Black Flag or Unity on Ultra settings, and I doubt it'll run on High settings as well. Medium will probably be fine.

Your bottlenecks are:
- Your 4Gb RAM (8Gb is needed for High/Ultra settings)
- Your GPU, especially it's 1Gb VRAM (At least 2Gb VRAM is needed for High, and 3-4Gb for Ultra)
*This is assuming you're running 1920x1080 resolution

Your CPU should be fine. Also, this doesn't pertain to gaming performance but rather general system responsiveness--get an SSD for the most performance increase in general usage.

hello Ryanrenesis,
(is the SSD is like a HDD??)
(can i add 4GB ram there?)
well for the GPU i dont have money for the 3-4gb GPU cards there..
but im running this on 1680x1050 resolution

SSD is like a RAM + HDD combined (in laymen's terms). It performs over 100x faster than an HDD.

You can add another 4Gb to your system as long as you match the voltage, timings and speed of the new RAM to the old RAM.

is 60GB SSD will work for that? i don't know what SSD is but i see lot of them when building a CPU

Yeah a 60Gb SSD will work, but at 60Gb, it'll only fit the Windows OS, your drivers, and a handful of applications. Which is actually perfectly fine, because OS + Drivers is really what benefits the most from an SSD.

well, can i buy SSD with an HDD attach onto my CPU??

60 GB SSD is something, I wouldn't recommend at the end of 2014. It was enough when the SSDs hit the stores shelves for the first time. 120 GB is something like minimum. There's literally no price diff. among 60-120. 240 GB is "good", and 500 GB is fine.

And SSDs aren't 100x faster than HDDs. Precisely 3-5x faster regarding rawspeed [read/write], about 700-1200 times faster regarding access time, and up to 1200x faster than HDDs iOPs-wise.
