I’m looking at the Cybertron line on Amazon. Trying to keep it in the 600 a 800 dollar range and avoid Windows 8 if possible. I need a new PC anyway for all the other things.

I’m not familiar with them. But any decently speced modern box will run games well at decent rez. But make sure you get a good GFX card with it or plan to spend even $200 separately for a flagship card a year or 2 old. It really matters.

My Asus card goes for that used and some even newer/hotter cards can be had new in that range.

A modding trick that can help:

You don’t HAVE to run 4K textures to get a big appearance boost. Just use them selectively. Ig you load up every HD texture you can find, you WILL need a very high end card. But if you just use them on things you look at a LOT, like NPC’s/armor, they eye is drawn to that and the brain is fooled to an extent that other things look better than they actually do.

Fyi: Win 10 pc’s will hit the market in a handful of months, probably before the game. Win 10 is going to revert, in most ways that matter, back to a more win 7-like experience.
