Great video asyvan, however it is just all to much for me, there are a few IT places near me that build PCs, maybe I should buy through them??

Wouldn't be a bad place, if you're wanting opinions on the price for a setup that one of those IT places are selling then you're welcome to post here and we'll be able to tell you if it's a good idea or not.

Excellent, thank you so much. I will go to a few places and get prices and specs for similar setups they offer, then check with my FS peers here before making a purchase

Let me know what u decide to go with as I'm doing the same when funds become available
Thanks

[Tylercheesey1986]

I can do that, I will be posting all the options I'm offered and the one I eventually choose on this thread

Little of topic but Stevo mite find it helpful, After many purchases and lots of dodgy headsets for Xbox from my experience I can recommend the Plantronics RIG 100HX as a great budget headset for gaming and multiplayer chat. Great connection plug that feels tight and thick wires. It is solid comfortable and adjustable. Only has one speaker but I prefer this to my noise cancelling headphones which make me very "ignorant and LOUD" apparently.

The other important thing in the computer for gaming wise is the memory or rather the amount of ram in it. Farming Simulator 19 requires 4 GB at least. However most gamers will tell you that the minimum for games today is more like 8 GB while 16 GB being the current favorite

An addition to this part of the post, go for a motherboard with at least four memory slots and only use two of them. If at a later date you do want more memory you can do so without wasting the existing memory.

Unless you are building a really high end setup don't worry about top speed memory, it'll make little difference normally much better to increase the total available. I really wouldn't bother with just 8GB for a games machine, spend a bit more and get the 16GB, I'm running three screens(2x 1080, 1x 4K) with FS19 on the 4K and loading up Ravensport with zero MODS is using over 10GB RAM. I know my setup is a little OTT but the extra RAM will help.

I would like to add that depending on CPU of choice (Intel or AMD) the speed of memory has significance. The AMD CPU's benefit heavily from higher speed memory. Not necessarily the 4000+MHz but at least 3000. Don't go below that with a Ryzen.

That you will. It’s a totally different game on PC.

Just don’t go crazy on the mods....

I like using both of these sites:

http://www.cpubenchmark.net for Processors

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net for Graphics Card

Pay attention to the CPU/GPU benchmark scores. Higher the score, the better it will perform overall. Tested by actual users on actual systems.

i used to build all my own PC's, this one i got off the shelf, it cost £700, without a monitor, it is well more than adequate, so they can be affordable

[Shuffy]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com

is also extremely good for comparing gpu's i use it a lot and its good for cpu's also includes cheapest place to buy from at that current time ..

Here is another resource for GPU comparison, including Performance.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/

If you select a GPU in the list, it will show that GPU's relative performance to other GPU's.
Very useful.

My Walmart gaming pc runs the game fine, but it does get laggy. I'm new to PC, anything I can do?

I normally don't recommend WalMart pc for gaming. However, what are the specs of it? Could be an issue with the game demanding too much out of the hardware or it could be an issue with the latest patch that a lot of people have been reporting.
