Computer Build

Post by jbrandmx85 »

I have decided to build a desktop computer. I was just wondering what kind of parts are going to matter the most. I wanna be able to play mxsim with a 40 rider gate with reasonable settings and not have to empty out my folders to do it. Im not worried about the money part too much because this is going to be a project of mine and im going to do it over time and not all at once. However, i would like to keep it reasonable over all. I already know a little bit but not really enough to be sure of myself. Any help from you guys would be appreciated.

You are going to want to get a good processor. about 8 gigs of ram and a average gfx card. Also i suggest to get a Good CPU fan/thermal paste for overclocking reasons in the future.

If you get a price range i can definitely get you a parts list.

Probably trying to keep it under 800 dollars. The thing is I can probably get some free parts from my workplace such as a disk drive, floppy drive, possibly a power supply, and maybe a few other small parts. I really wanna keep it as cheap as I can but I want a good computer. So if it takes me 3-4 months to get the money then i dont care. The only game im truly worried about playing mxsim. Other than that ill be using the computer for things other than gaming

Just to inform anyone reading this thread im currently using an hp laptop which i bought a few years ago. like 2008 to be exact. When playing by myself I can run pretty high setting on most tracks but online i cant run anything. Basically I just wanna be able to play and enjoy the game with good graphics and good fps and not have to worry about highpoly models and such

hit newegg up and see what they have as preselected parts, but are still a build yourself!

I'm getting ready to start buying some parts for my comp build here this month and I was wondering if someone could tell me some good motherboard/processors that I could run sim with pretty high settings and a good bit of riders @ the same time. Any help would be appreciated. Dont worry about the money side of it. I wanna build a super good comp. Also if you guys have any other suggestions for other parts im all ears.
