Factorio Forums

So far i play this game on my old notebook and in month or two i plan to buy new PC just so i can run this game in full HD
I dont want to spend lot of money, i dont have too much free time for games so dont plan to invest a lot into PC...
What would be minimum to buy ?
Processor Ryzen 3 1200 or do i need something better?
And graphic card R7 360 with 2GB DDR5 would be enough? Or should i go for RX560/GTX1050 with 2 or 4 GB DDR5 ?

3GB VRAM is minimum for high resolution sprites unless you want to store some of it in RAM which costs performance, the GPU itself is pretty much irrelevant. For factorio, high frequency Intel CPUs perform best, AMD CPUs are underwhelming even when overclocked.
