Here in Canada $500 USD is about $525 CAD, You'd be able to buy something that could run Renegade-X and UDK tools at little bit above or at the recommended specs..but no OS.. Example of something here in Canada what around 500CAD could get you..http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX47715 something like that would also require a video card upgrade.. possibly a stronger PS.. just be sure to get a dedicated video card... any Nvidia/GeForce GT+ model will be more than enough.. not sure about AMD/Radeon models - example video card sold in Canada http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX30734 I'd recommend http://www.newegg.com for some good selection..

0 #Pwn Call Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I guess the biggest thing i want to know would be a good choice for graphics card and processor, not too expensive but that will get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 !TehVib Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 For a new good pc u gotto aim at 1000 $, anything under that price will have u wanting for a upgrade very soon. Anything over that is basically overkill, if one has the money id go for overkill, cant hurt to indulge in ones asswhupping pc desires. It pays off to save for a solid rig,ressist the urge to settle for a medium one. Pwn Call 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 !ImperialKaskins Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Get ATi cards since Nvidia is always more expensive then ATi. But what most people do they get Nvidia card for UDK. PC Casing. I do see some people spend like 300 USD for a PC casing with nothing inside except for the fans...So get a cheap and average-big space casing. Anyway why spend so much on a casing when is sitting at your house no one can see it.Unless you decided to carry your desktop around Processor. Well AMD and Intel, they are both very good but Intel is better for working on software and they are much more cooler then AMD but come with a price.Not only that, Intel Processor needs the right Motherboard depending on the Intel Processor Socket and their motherboard is not that cheap.Unless you are going for AMD processor and AMD motherboard socket. Since AMD processor and their motherboard are much more friendly then Intel and they are also cheaper by alot.But AMD processor can heat up quite fast and sometime hotter then Intel processor. If this PC you are using try to savage what ever you can, like um DVD room, harddisk, and ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 !ImperialKaskins Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 ATI 5770 is a low end gaming card from ATI. But will run renegade well on medium settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 !kenz3001 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 ya will need a new cpu ... the cpu will be your bottleneck i had an ADM Athlon x2 6600+ and it making all my games run slow ... an amd hex (6) core is awesome for gaming ... if you just wont a gaming machine (not for making maps or rendering) get a apu you will get a good gaming experience ... and if you need more gpu power you can upgrade to a dedicated card later on but if you go for a APU get fast ram 1866 up (depending on what the mobo can handle) 3 vids sowing 3 good cheap AMD builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 @trunkskgb Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I believe my PC will run this fine. I'll give it a shot I guess. I tried playing a few years ago when you had to own UT3, and I could never get it running. I also didn't care to much at the time, but now I think it has potential. My current rig is setup for more modern gaming anyway, so I don't think I'll have any concerns. I look forward to it's release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 #Pwn Call Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 So i think i am getting the cheap power supply unit, a free radeon hd 5770, and I will be using all of my old dell 570 stuff. Could I just get a CPU by itself or would it be best to get a mother board cpu combo?Ans would a different motherboard fit in my case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 !kenz3001 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 get a mobo,cpu and ram bundle ... DONT get a cheap ass PSU get a 80+ certified one ... cheap ones tend to blow or damage things and use more power then neededwhat i have read about the dell 570 the case is a mini so ya not going to fit much in it ... and dell like to use there own mountings so a new case might be needed Pwn Call and trunkskgb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 #Pwn Call Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think im going to start with the GPU and PSU upgrade since it will be cheap and see how that goes, then I will do the mobo, cpu, and case later.Thanks for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
