Hey so I play console and really want to play PC. This guy is offering a PC for $175 but I know nothing about PC gear. Can someone help me to see if this can run the game. I don’t care if it’s not the perfect experience. I play on the switch as long as the experience is better than or equal to that I can survive lol.
AMD Phenom II X4 945 Quad Core
8GB of DDR3 RAM
AMD HD 5770 1GB Graphics Card
500GB HDD
Windows 10 PRO Pre-activated
Sorry if I listed irrelevant information. I’m super ignorant to PC stuff so please help and thanks!
I answered your previous question about hardware, but this forum is really only for troubleshooting the live Overwatch client. You’ll want to use a place like Reddit (maybe /r/Overwatch?) for further questions/advice on potential purchases.
But since we’re here, these specs do meet the minimum requirements. However, you need to ask yourself which is most important:
- Running the game in any way possible.
- Getting an experience as similar/smooth as the console version.
If it’s #1, then yes, this could run the game. Though, future patches could have serious impacts on the continued performance.
If it’s #2, then steer clear and save up for something else. This setup is highly unlikely to offer a stable 60fps performance on the game.
I hope this helps, but please do turn to Reddit or hardware advice sites next time

That’s almost exactly the same build I had over a decade ago
