Buying/Building Gaming PC!

Edit: If it is a mac, don't buy it. They are a terrible idea for gaming, and it won't even run BeamNG unless you install Windows (which you should do anyway because OSX sucks).

It doesn't suck, but it is a mobile GPU, so no upgrading.
In terms of performance you can expect something similar to a desktop R7 260 graphics card, which is really the bare minimum for gaming at 1080p. Should do 40ish fps on Beam mid settings in most maps, might do 60 with lower graphics.

A tower PC is a better idea though, since you could upgrade the graphics card later.

 

Okay so I can get 40 fps thanks.

 

If it is a Mac, as someone said in the other thread, do not buy it.

 

Would this run beamngdrive good?

15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 Widescreen LED TFT
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz (Quad Core)
32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M 8GB GDDR5
2TB 5400RPM
Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD
Built-in 9-in-1 Media Card Reader/Writer
Windows 8.1 64 Bit

 

Why buy a laptop, and why the hell buy something with 32GB of RAM? That is insanely overkill. Also, a laptop with an i7-4790K will have terrible battery life since it's a desktop CPU and not designed for power efficiency.

 

Okay so I changed the list a bit... How does it look now? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/my383C

for a liquid cooler do you need to put some sort of liquid in the cooler? I've never had a liquid cooled pc.

 

Nice build, and nice RAM!(I've got the same )

For pre-built liquid coolers like the one you have in there, they come with liquid in them.

 

Those H100i's are prefilled.

If you were building your own watercooling loop, then yes, you stick something in it, typically water and sometimes with an additive.

 

Does it ever run out of liquid?

Does the liquid ever run out? (So you have to refill?)

 

No. You might want to change it every so often just to keep it clean. Having never owned a water cooling product I can't say definitively but I have a decent idea.

 

where can the liquid go? its an airtight system. Unless there is a leak, the liquid cant just bugger off somewhere.

But yeah, it needs draining every now and then, cleaning, topping up.

 

Topping with what...? Thanks for the answer

Okay thanks

 

Well there is a hint in it being known as a water cooler. Water.

 

Okay thank you

 

How is this build?

Great build. The 8TB HDD is probably extremely overkill though.

Also, why do you have two accounts?

 

Yes and no for the 8TB HDD | What FPS do you think I will get for beamngdrive?
-------------
One I don't have the password for.

 

At 1080p, you'll get 60fps at near max settings in most maps, with up to 6-8 vehicles.

 

Really!! I was expecting like 40fps! 60fps is AWESOME!

 

I have the same graphics card, and get 60 fps at near max settings. There might be some drops to 50-55 on very dense maps, but shouldn't happen too often.
The CPU should run 6-8 vehicles no problem, with a slight OC it could probably even handle 4-6 T75's without slowing down too much.
