Required processor specifications for GTA V.
Required processor specifications for GTA V.
I checked some game clips and am deciding on my setup for a long-term project (over 12 years). With a $800 budget, I need to cover a monitor, keyboard/mouse, and operating system. My concern is whether the G3258 can handle it—especially if a quad is required—or if an 860K would be better. Thanks!
860K performs poorly on this system. It’s likely the G3258 will encounter problems. The best option is to use the i3 4150 or AMD 6300, preferably the 4150.

They said no, but I already have a better CPU and GPU. It's hard to push it further... The cheapest option seems to be worth it.

The i5-4460 is a solid choice for gaming, and the R9 280X delivers strong performance at 1080p. I’ll check if there are more affordable options or alternatives that fit the same specs.
