Minimum System Requirments Gaming 2016

[FlaviusD15]

Hi guys, i'm planning to buy soon a pc for gaming, i don't want to spend a lot, i don't even have so much money, but what you think is a ok system for gaming 2016, i don't think every game on high, but on medium new games, maybe like 2014/2015 games in high etc.? What are your ideas?

If you're low budget i3 6100, 8 gb ram and gtx 960 will surely run games on medium high settings for at least 3 years.

some games now look for 4 core cpu. if you have the extra 50.00 buy the locked i5 and a h or b atx mb to save some cash.

Well, thanks for the anwser but i am not planning to play with the sistem like 3 years, i can upgrade the processor after like half year/year but i've got bored of waiting. What you think, pentium g4400, 8gb ram and gtx 750ti will be playable before i'll buy i5 skylake? In the buget i have to include also the monitor, not a big deal, one fullhd is ok for me, i will have like 2500 RON (which is about 550Euros, but in Romania price are a little higher).

start with good motherboard and power supply and cpu first. when you have the funds pick up a 960 or 380 video card for min gaming. when you have the funds or if the games need more cpu power then swap out the cpu.

A laptop with 965m card 1000$ can do must at 1080p.
My faithful 750Ti card still runs most games at 1080p high,
even though it was a cheap card at $120, also using quad
core i5-2500k i think was or something forget.
THE pentium g4400 is prety good, may suffer on some games
which require a qaudcore though, not sure which ones though.
Theres not a lot of games that use all 4 cores that I know of,
only game I know heats up on me is BF3/4.


Theres also the 960 gtx which is a little more beefy version
of 750ti but will run around $200. 750Ti only requires 60watts
which is great, cause you can use a lower PSU, doesnt produce
much heat which I love, while my higher end cards like 780ti/980ti
are like a portable heater haha.

There are tons of games though, especially indie which are not that
too high on the REQ, which are fun to play.

WIth pascal looming around the corner several months.
