Will this PC Desktop run GTA 5?

Running GTA5 with anything less than a GTX 970 (£270 graphics card), is quite a painful experience. Anything less and you have to shorten view distances, which means other players can shoot your face off before you can even see them and the naked lap dancers will just look like minecraft characters (blocky). You'd also miss out on some of the blood splatter when shooting peoples heads off.

On the othe hand a low spec GFX card might make some textures transparent, potentially revealing more of what's causing the car to "rock" when the player picks up a prostitute.

I'm not joking.......

yup , now sat in a M350 case http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-Box-M350-Universal-Mini-ITX-enclosure/dp/B005TX3LA4 with a wifi dongle behind the ft panel , now running a 240g ssd , 500g sata 3 drive , 8 g memory and win 10 , it runs cool and rather fast sat on that MSI AM11 m/board

I was hoping to get this in a Mini ITX case. Never seen that one before, what power supply have got in it and is it quiet enough to run in a living room at night time?

OK , the M350 case came from here http://www.mini-itx.com/store/m350 you can put 2 x 2.5 drives in it , you have to buy the extra bkt. PSU wize look at this chart http://powersupplycalculator.net/ and but a "pic0" adaptor http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XOUMTBG?keywords=pico%20psu&qid=1453235673&ref_=sr_1_6&sr=8-6 and the corresponding PSU 12v x XXXX watt 5.5 x 2.5 plug.


you can add 2 x usb devices behind the ft panel (wifi/Bluetooth etc )


I have another one running a asrock z97 board http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-Z97M-ITX-AC-ac-Motherbord/dp/B00M0QY2H4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453235868&sr=8-2&keywords=asrock+z97+itx I have fitted a i3 4150t CPU ( rated at 35w) , and using a low profile fan assy http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005O6518Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 with a 250g kingston ssd and a 500g wd drive , noise wize , just the cpu fan , but do not block the casing off!


cheap build that works well is the 5350 and a am11 board with a ssd ,


if buying from mini itx.com , buy everything at once , coz they hammer on postage! , buy the extra bkt and the vesa screws in with your order , but they are pricy on pico and psu units

My humble £80 second-hand 3GB Radeon 7950 would like to disagree with you - I run GTA 5 without a glitch. The only limitation I have is wanting more VRAM.

Bollox, I have max view distance on my 750ti and at a much higher FPS than a ps4 can manage. My only limitation is the 2gb so I have to stick with normal textures.
