    Have you the minimum specs for Project Reality? All the ones I see are like 5 years old

    i3 6100 €120
    B150 board €60
    8gb RAM €40
    GTX 750Ti €130
    500w PSU €60
    1tb HDD €50
    Total €450

    You have the case do you?

    Processor: 2.4 GHz
    * Memory: 2 Gb (4 Gb if using Windows® Vista)
    * Video Card: Video Card with at least 512 MB of RAM
    * Sound Card: Creative EAX 4.0 compliant sound card (Audigy 2, X-Fi series)

    That is indeed five years old but it hasn't changed that much since 2010, yup I have the case

    Ah sound It'll fly on that PC, I just have to look into the case though

    Case may not be compatible, or PSU depending.

    Because the base game as well is so old, it's single core only.

    I can't remember the exact spec of the PC I was running it on (it would have been decent), but about a year ago I was running at maxed out and I was only getting about 30fps on the urban maps.

    It's a BTX case so you'll need a different case, I suppose adding €30-40 on will fit one. Aside from going second hand you can't go cheaper on this PC I'm afraid
