Was also thinking of getting a Base PC then upgrading the Graphics Card (and RAM if need be) like I did with my other HP. Any thoughts? Waited two years to buy this game and my PC crapped out a year ago...and have been using a laptop to bridge the gap. But obviously I want and need a PC to run SH5 (and maybe some other games as well) as I dont game on my Laptop.
64 bit operating system so you can have 8 gigs of ram , SH5 really needs it . A fast cpu well over 3 gig . The video card runs the game so the more you can spend on it the better . A good quality power supply , 850 watts etc . Start with getting the biggest case you can with big fans . Thats what keeps things cool . Its the peripherals that add up in the price .
