I'm been thinking of playing DA Inquisition on the PC. This is mainly because of Dragon Age Keep and the possibility of not importing my DAO and DA2 saves to inquisition on Xbox (Plz correct me if I am wrong).

 

I know its early for the pc system requirements but game debate.com has these requirements predicted:

http://www.game-deba... 3: Inquisition

 

I'm looking up a laptop that can handle inquisition but are there any suggested models I should look into and if they have a reasonable price ? I'm willing to spend around the $1000s but I'm flexible. (NOTE: I would have considered a desktop but my current laptop is breaking and need to replace it for use in school as well). I looked up best buy's website as a start:

For any sort of computers or computer parts, always go to Newegg.com

[drake heath]

Yeah, Newegg has a good selection and good prices.

 

And if you don't understand there are plenty of buyers guides out there for custom PCs, just don't use any from over a year ago (they're obsolete; and better hardware at the same price would have came out by now).

I wouldn't get a laptop for gaming.

 

And you're better off building a pc from scratch, rather than getting a pre-built computer. You have a $1000 budget which is more than enough to build a good pc for Inquisition. Whereas if you buy a really good gaming pc that's pre-built, you may have to spend a little over 1000 dollars.

 

Just google "how to build a pc" and you'll get the parts you need to build one. If you can't actually put them all together, I'm sure your local computer shop can do the building for you for about 80-100 dollars. Also, since I don't know what the system requirements are for DAI, I recommend building a pc that can run a game that you know will be much more demanding that DAI, like Witcher 3 for example. I think the system requirements are out for that game. I'm sure if you can run Witcher 3 then you can run DAI as well.

you can transfer across platforms that's why the Dragon Age Keep Exists.

Yes. If you have patience, wait for their DYI bundles.

[Deflagratio]

A laptop really hobbles your options. I don't think I'd personally recommend anything for gaming in that branch at under the $1200 mark. Newegg has a good selection of gaming notebooks, and usually have discounts. You could probably get something on par with the PS4/X1 experience for 1100.

I know what you mean, desktops are more powerful than laptops, hands down. Thing is though, I need to get myself a new laptop for school work as well and I figured buying a new computer that plays games as well as taking it around with me will be killing two birds in one stone.

 

I am considering upgrading my current desktop to meet the specific requirements however. I never took apart my desktop though so I may need to learn. Also, my local computer store is gone...

[emark.mark20]

I agree about building your own PC being the best route. However, the OP said that he or she needs a laptop because they also use it for school. Building your own laptop would be rather difficult .......

LOL, no plans on building a laptop, may upgrade my desktop though.

[Enigmatick]

If your budget is that big, just build a desktop and buy a cheapish laptop,

Depending on what you can recycle (Operating System, monitor, whatever) I would say getting a low-performance Laptop and investing the difference into a mediocre Desktop with expandability options would be better. For about 750 (Including a new Operating system) you can make a desktop that'll beat the X1/PS4 experience.

Never say with a paragraph that which can be said with a sentence. I learned my lesson.

Does he also need a Monitor, keyboard, etc?

It can be done.

[Ymirr]

As for laptops, if using Battlefield as ref for that price, then perhaps Asus Rog 750 there is a refurbished one for 850 Linkey

Nah, I can just use the ones I'm using, no big deal.

Problem is that upgrading can be problematic. For example, I've got the following system which I wanted to upgrade (my GPU needs some serious boost):

 

Medion MS-7741

AMD FX-8120 

12 GB RAM

1,5 TB HDD

AMD Radeon HD7670

 

I thought 'let's replace my GPU'. Well, because by buying an Medion I had made originally an mistake.. I had an problem to start with (the drivers). But that could be done. Then I ran into the following problem. My motherboard supported the type of slot for the Radeon HD7670, but not the newer type of motherboards (which apparently need an better slot). So I'd need to upgrade my MB as well. Okay. Then when I checked my other components, I found out that the newer type of motherboards didn't have the correct slots for them... Tl;dr: upgrading an non-custom desktop can get messy. Be sure beforehand to check the requirements (be sure to get enough power and space for your new stuff to begin with - an housemate of mine didn't have enough room in his PC to fit his new GPU, he had to buy a new housing to fit both the new cooling, GPU and power cords), needed slots, drivers, compability (important! some motherboards are unable to work with newer or older type of cards, and you'll only find out when it appears that your PC refuses to launch) etc.

Yes, but the environment you have needs to be about ideal... And you need to have very, very steady hands and a lot of building knowledge.

[Enigmatick]

Try looking for a decent $250 laptop or a cheaper chromebook and then go to www.logicalincrements.com and check out the great tier for desktop parts.

Also go to r/buildapc on reddit, it's a great PC DIY building site.

You can use PCIe 3.0 cards on PCIe 2.0 slots.

 

Edit: Oh wait, that mobo I don't know it.

Edit2: So it's PCIe 1.0, they are backwards compatible. But there will be a bit of a drop in performance from 3.0 to 1.0

Glad to see more people know about that.

I've got a Asus Rampage Formula 3.. You can pick up a ole I7 950 on ebay for $80 sell ya my motherboard for $100 buy you a gtx760 or something like dat for $200 or so, get you a power supply and a harddrive.. Pfft I even got some 2166 ram 12gigs I'll let go fo $50.  Thats all ya need brother.

[davidselite737]

By the way my current specs:

 

Asus Rampage Extreme Motherboard (watercooled)

I7 950 @ 4.5ghz (watercooled)

4x 6970's in quadfire 

1x 1tb HDD

2x 2tb HDD in raid0

1 250gb sniper ssd

24 gb of 2166mhz vengence pro RAM

 

It's 4 years old and still smokes anything I throw at it 

 

Dont buy a premade "name brand" piece of junk.. some out there are nicely done but way to much coin for what they are.

PM me and I can have you one together in less than 2 weeks, all depends on your price range. I've got lots of left over parts myself, could probably throw you a nice rig together for under $1000.
