The brother of a good friend wants me to build him a PC. It's been a few years since I've built a system for anybody so I am kind of out of the loop when it comes to where the value is these days.
This is what he wants it for: Skyrim, and DayZ. Of course he'll probably play a bunch of other stuff but I want to build this PC making sure that he can run those two games great.
His budget is about 600$-700$.
Now, I have an old GTX 670 4GB sitting around collecting dust so my first question is will this card suffice or is it too long in the tooth by now ?
We're probably talking about 1080p gaming at the most.
I don't play either of these games so I don't have first hand experience in what is needed to run them well. I'm guessing CPU is pretty important for the ARMA engine ? Skyrim, I never really got to run well for the few hours I've tinkered with it.
Thanks for the halp ^_^
