If you're UK based then try looking at;

You can buy ready built, design your own and they build, what ever takes your fancy. I have used them for years, but mainly for components, however their system bundles are outstanding. Have 2 rigs running from their bundles and not a problem. But like others point out, the world is your oyster. I spec'd a rig from them hypothetically just last weekend that was close on 5K

Good luck pal

I bought a Cyberpower gaming PC and really like it. They have lots to choose from.

Today pretty every desktop computer you buy can run the SH series. But the world is not made of SH games, so to have a good rig for the next 5 years you should have a system similar to this:

Processor: variable speed from 3.0 ghz to 4.7 ghz, Intel processor
System RAM: At least 16 GB
Video card: minimum Nvidia GTX 960 4gb VRAM, OpenGL 4.5 compatible (*)

(*) This is a pretty cheap card today ($200 and less) and a decent one which will run pretty all games on the market, the most demanding ones for sure at medium grafic settings, and else most games at 60 FPS constant at high grafic settings. If you can get a NVidia of the GTX 1080 serie for a good price, then so much the better, but they start at $550 upwards.

Cheers,

Appreciate all the suggestions. I have played SH3 for a long time and used economic rigs in the past. No matter what I do, LSH or even rough seas when on the bridge tend to slow the game down. I am looking for an ultimate rig that will put lag out if it’s misery.

I still have SH3 installed on my old XP laptop with WAC 2.15
So the question is not which computer can run SHx, but which computer will run the games that you buy in 3-5 years.

Freshtech Solutions Limited is by far the best retailer of PCs in the UK


I prefer to build myself but it prolly cost more than prebuilt from them

1 example

Freshtech Intel Core I5 7400 1tb 8gb 2133Mhz GTX 1060 3gb Dragon Computer Gaming PC Gigabyte H110M-S2H Motherboard 8gb DDR4 2133mhz Performance Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3gb VR Ready Fractal Design 500w 80 Plus Certified 34a Power Supply 1tb Western Digital WD10EZEX 64mb Cache 7200rpm HDD

£636.00

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freshtech-H...6834682&sr=8-1

I've dealt with these guys in he past they really know their stuff when it comes to Performance per Buck
