Suggested Computer Specs?

I am currently in the market for a new gaming computer, I intend to be using this mod for a fair bit of my time and can't find any recommended specs that have already been said. I have the RAM covered and am mainly talking about CPU/GPU specs that can help me, or any other specs that are relevant. Thank you in advance

I am trying to keep it mid-range at around $700-$900 but am willing to spend more if necessary

i dont think you'll be able to comfortably play shaders with 900 dollars unfortunately

Not really, I'm still sort of in the early stages and actually seeing what I need in order to run my games Like I said I am willing to spend more and am just looking for suggested specs

Suffice to say sub-1000 dollars is your ideal budget for your system?

I have the money but more don't want to overspend, majority of gameplay I see when people run this mod with shaders have 4090s and some of the latest CPUs, which I will consider if I need to but am just making sure there isn't a more inexpensive option

Just out of curiousity if you don't mind me asking, what specs do you have?

a 7800x3d with a 3070. a bit out of balance as the 7800x3d is a great cpu and the 3070 is an okay gpu. i really dont recommend buying a 3070 now

i think if you're willing to buy second hand cpu/gpu, you could get a really great deal under 1000$ tbh

paintingOP8mo ago
I would not be worried about buying second hand

look for deals like the 6800 xt or 3080

Thanks for the advice

The 3080 is definitely a good card. Well, good in the sense that it is priced at 800 dollars, back when it was launched. And then the world went to [REDACTED].

i paid so much money for my 3070 :(

Yeah even the second hand ones look like they are going for $1000+ right now (Could be wrong, I've only been looking for like 5 minutes and could probably find a better deal)
Puhpine
Puhpine8mo ago
definitely dont buy a 3080 for more than 500

paintingOP8mo ago
I wouldn't want to lol I'm sure I can find one for cheaper I just need to look
