Hello all
I have purchased KCD for X1, but am considering getting it for PC as well as there are a few PC games I want that are not coming out for console.
It’s been probably 10 years since I’ve built a computer, so I’m not up to speed on the best hardware, and especially which combination of hardware that would be most compatible with each other.
Budget: $1000-$2000 US
This is one site I was looking at:
One tip: No SLI or Crossfire… to much trouble( elitegameingcomputer 2000$ build)
There are so many possible combinations,… 2 weeks ago I build a system (for a friend) 
Cooler Master N 300 Midi Tower
500 Watt Corsair CX Series Non-Modular 80+ Bronze
Intel Core i7 4790K 4x 4.00GHz So.1150 BOX
Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A (BW) Tower Kühler
16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 DIMM CL9 Dual Kit
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H Intel Z97 So.1150 Dual Channel DDR3 ATX Retail
500GB Samsung 850 Evo 2.5" SSD
Asus DRW-24F1MT DVD-Writer SATA
8192MB Sapphire Radeon R9 390 Nitro
A really nice system 
But for more performance put a 980 TI grafic card into…
Well, if you spend that much you are over paying honestly. I’d just recommend staying away from AMD, ive gotten a lot of problems with games due to my processor. My last GPU was nivida, a 650, i recently bought a 970 and it’s been a great card so far.
I would recommend a build with MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G + Intel Core i5-6600K
Too many games are recommending 8 gigs of ram, there isn’t ANY need to walk on so fine a line when ram is so cheap.
1400€
ASRock X99 Extreme4
Intel i7-5820K
Cooler: Scythe Kotetsu
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970
Samsung 850 EVO SSD or similar
G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4-3000Mhz
Seagate ST1000DM003
Nox Hummer ZX
Extras: Benq GL2460, 2tb HDD, DVD: Samsung SE-208GB/RSBDE
GTX 980 or 980ti if budget permits.
This is the best for your money.
There is never power enough… 
Four (virtual) CPUs more than i5-6600K. About 20% faster at the same speed.
Cpu is not so easy to change. You can change the grafic board or double your RAM, but normally the first Cpu stay on the main board. Makes no sense to change it later. That´s the reason to buy the fastest available Cpu.
Nice processor 
Overclocked?
What´s your power supply?
With this CPU only the 980 TI makes sense IMO…
Enermax Max Pro, 600w, enough if you don’t want a SLI.
Yes, I think 980ti is better for this budget, but is flexible. With this PC the only thing you may want to change in a relative short period of time (if you buy the 970) is the GPU.
Gameplay resolution should be 1080 for now, and if there is still money, 144hz monitor.
Well considering sudden boom of VR headsets etc, which are incredibly power hungry, I would go for 980Ti without hesitation if my budget would allow it.
Oculus states 970 as minimum (should run all VR games, but maybe only on low-medium details), so its really not that unreasonable.
That is some good news for me because I have i7 4790K myself, but I did not choose it for extra power for gaming (but mostly for music production). As far as I believed, the vast majority of games would not be able to utilize those 4 extra virtual cores anyway. I have been reading that for games its better to choose CPU with less, but more powerful cores.
Is there any where that Warhorse has listed out the most compatible specs for the game?
No,
only the Minimum hardware requirements
Quadcore CPU
DirectX 11.0 capable GPU
8GB RAM
25GB HDD
Internet connection
My biggest beef with PC gaming is the hassle of trying to make sure you have all the right components that work in harmony together, and, then, are adequate (or, preferably, MORE than adequate) for the games you want to play.
Can those that supplied recommendations above also provide confidence that all the hardware is 100% compatible with each other? Or maybe it’s a better question to say, there’s a difference between hardware that is compatible and hardware that works at utmost efficiency together, so can you say your recommendations provide the latter?
I found this site and am curious if anyone is familiar with it:
http://pcpartpicker.com/
Is KCD able to (now or in the future) make use of cores/threads beyond the 4/8 in an i7 quadcore? In other words would the extra expense of a i7-5820k give a performance benefit for KCD? Certainly a 4790k or 6700k have higher basic clock rates. And for non-OCers they come with fans/heatsinks.
Will KCD be making use large ram arrays - 16GB or larger?
Can those of you with 6 or 8-core systems verify whether KC:D makes use of cores/threads beyond 4 cores or 8 threads? I’m contemplating a new build and am trying to decide whether to go 6700k or 5820k
I’m leaning towards one of these.
Your thoughts?
You’re going to end up paying far more buying a prebuilt one. If the option is available to you i would highly recommend putting on together yourself, it would save you a ton. There’s really no reason you should ever pay over 1000.
I wouldnt buy anything with 900 series graphic card now. 1070 and 1080 are coming out soon enough so id wait for those.
They should be so much more powerful and the jump in performance seems much bigger than with the old 780 to 970/80.
I looked into building one, as it’s been 10 years since my last build.
And, for what I wanted, the lowest price was 1600, using pcpartpicker.com (which also helps in making sure components are all compatible).
I’d love it if you could use the same site and show me a build that is around this $1000 mark. I have no issue building one myself, but I won’t deny there’s an attraction to not having to fuck with all that. 10 years ago I wasn’t as busy as I am now
