Resolved Question

Switching to PC from console

by Jan 11, 2017 5:28PM PST

I want to switch from my console to PC I had a desktop before and it was more fun than my XboxONE that I currently use. I know this sounds bad but I want a computer that can run GTA V at at least a solid 60 Frames. I don't care about graphics other than view distance and graphical stuff that can impact gameplay. I want to be able to LSPDFR with GTA V as a moification. I'm asking what parts I need in order to enjoy GTA V fluidly. Thankyou if you post and thanks for reading and checking in on this post!

Wow that was like 10 minutes! It's true what people say about the PC community as if I asked this question on my Xbox I would be flooded with stale memes and being called a ******. Thanks again for the fast feedback!

The Graphics Processor Unit so it's a processor for graphics. The 970 is a nice card but barely hit the 60FPS so the move to the 1070 will assure us that you'll hit your goal.
