NEED ADVICE FOR UPCOMING BUILD
Hi everyone. Firstly pardon me for my bad english.
Im new to PR and after 3 months playing, what i can say is its addictive. So im thinking to upgrading my 6 years laptop. This is what im planning to buy in my tight budget AMD Athlon X4 860K msi A88X E35 mobo Sapphire R7 260X Kingston 8gb 1600mhz ram A good 500w psu so what you think guys can it run PR smoothly?. Every comment is appreciated |

Re: NEED ADVICE FOR UPCOMING BUILD
I would have thought it'd run PR fine, the only issue you should be aware of is PRs spiritual successor Squad which you may want to look at. How much is this system?
This game at the moment hates AMD chips... I saved alot of cash by starting with a second hand I5 2500k and mobo that are doing well after nearly a year. I wouldn't use this route for an economic gaming PC. However if you want to stick with your plan think about a cheap Intel system and get the best GPU with as much vram as possible. This at GBP523 would be OK with Squad on HD at medium/high settings (H110/i5 6400/8GB/960OC 4GB/250GD SSD) |

Thanks for your suggestion. In that case, im going to my plan B (INTEL G3258 + GTX 750TI) which the sameprice around 300 us dollar. And that is my only budget. Squad is also on my radar and after i build my new rig im definitely gonna look into it.

Yes you were right sir, after doing a little research at Squad forum that AMD has a problem with squad (and PR too). So i try to get a used i5 or buy a new skylake i3.
