Price-check for New PC

You should limit it at 60fps, Monty. That is pretty much as much as we can 'see'. People who go over that are rather deluded.

Normal television is only 20fps too, for example.

if i was going to recommend a cheap pre-built gaming box right now i think you'd be hard pressed to find better value than this:

should be able to play everything at 1920x1080 @ 60fps. maybe not at max settings in a brand new AAA title, but very close.

Eh, this only surfaced recently, but in case you are wondering why your 4GB VRAM card may not work like a 4GB card in Skyrim, maybe it's because it really is just a 3.5GB card or a really slow 4GB card: http://www.pcgamer.com/why-nvidias-g...han-35gb-vram/

Here's a relevant interview. The subtitles are a bit fast towards the end but I found it worth watching:

What, you couldn't find a Hitler video for that? I'm sure this will be relevant to me in 5 years or so, but by then it won't matter.

Anyway, over here I've loaded up on FXAA post-processing, because it turned out my game could handle ENBs fine but it's too much of a pain to find a good-looking one.

Overall quite satisfied - I'm not an enthusiast or a "screen archer", after all.

I didn't search for anything, I found it in a discussion. And it's much better than any Hitler video IMO, watched it several times myself.

I posted about that because you said you loaded a ton of high-res texture mods and that may very well require more VRAM. With FXAA it may be less of a problem, but proper AA would also require more VRAM and so on. It's also not that the GTX 970 is necessarily a bad card, just that some people reported stuttering if a game required the use of all 4GB of VRAM.

If you don't think it will become a problem, then just enjoy it!
