Nope, you'd get a piece of junk for $300-400. If it wasn't using outdated or super low end parts, you'd have to get a free OS somehow, and need to know how to build it yourself.Dexus wrote:
$300-400 is plenty to get an up to date computer
a build like that could probably run osu! at 100fps+ easily, assuming you have those flashy graphic settings turned off missing a psu doe but a 450w lying around should be fineDexus wrote:

I thought I edited that post to say within the $400 range, oh well.
That PC is $535. You forgot an OS, which is at least another $100. So even if you can put one together yourself, that's a $600-700 (incl. shipping). You said $300-400.Dexus wrote:

Building a PC is like putting lego parts together. psu aren't really expensive (you don't need 1000w to run shit, it takes two 250w PSU to send a signal into space to a satellite and it in the long run wastes energy) Just look for 80+ bronze standard from a reliable company at a reasonable wattage/price. Also 8GB (2x4 for dual channel) is plenty anything more is a waste for a common user and less would be harmful in the long run (The RAM clock speed depends on what cpu you get because the memory controller can have a limit, AMD:1866, Intel: 1333/1600, CAS is pointless to debate about). As for a GPU a GTX 750 ti runs well at a low TDP. Best price per dollar performance gpu I've ever seen. AMD gpu are cheaper, I remember using a 7770 ghz edition and it was running the game just fine. Processors? Nothing really takes advantage of multi core threads. I believe osu! itself just runs on one thread, so a dual core cpu would be plenty unless you want to stream or something. Although a quad core cpu would be better in the long run since games on the consoles are using multi cores now (which is where pc games will most likely be heading). You can forget about overclocking too, it's pretty much pointless unless you're benchmarking, windows itself has a timer that doesn't really go that fast. HPET gets pretty unstable too. With timers and speed, the lower the more stable it is so you have to find a right balance in speed with everything.
This. My $500 laptop with some ghetto i3 using integrated graphics doesn't ever fall below 60fps, and it's obviously not made for gaming. Building your own PC would cost less than this and get even better performance because you can optimise it for what you're going to use it for.Marcin wrote:
If you want to buy PC ONLY for osu!, you can as well use integrated into newest Intel I7/5/3 Core generation. External GPU is unnecessary.

osu! is definitely playable at 60-100fps even at a high levelSoarezi wrote:
"just a bit laggy" 30fps? osu is barely and barely playable on 60 fps, even 100. Unless of course you are a massive casual playing 10 bpm songs and 1 note per minute

Try borrowing a gaming mouse to see if your mouse is the cause, or look to see if anything got stuck in the optical sensor.Polymelia wrote:
weird, my mouse gets stuck to the right on spinners... why yes of course it does, i just updated my harddrive on my pc and everything. but whatever, used to be fun sorry about it guys :-)peppy wrote:
Sounds like you a trying to blame a poorly configured and/or broken PC on a game. osu! performs better than it did in any previous year, performance wise.

I'm not sure who told you there was a direct correlation between fps and accuracy...Zenarai wrote:

Having low fps makes it harder to achieve good accuracy, since the lower the fps, the less accurate the game detects the keyboard input. Also, the pointing device latency with low fps makes aiming harder, which can also indirectly make getting good accuracy harder.buny wrote:

just because it's "much more significant" doesn't mean it's a big difference, but you've worded it as if you implied it was.Full Tablet wrote:

The difference between 60fps and 240fps is much more significant than, for example, 240fps and 960fps. It is possible to surpass even the most accurate plays ever done with only 200fps.

I run osu on an old pc that was handed down from a friend. After slapping an extra ram chip into it and installing windows 7 it ran like a treat. Osu runs fine on this and this pc is around 7/8 years old! If osu lags on your pc then you must be using something that belongs in a museum.
he stated that he had trouble with accuracy under 600 fps, it's not like his accuracy would magically become better if his fps was above 600Full Tablet wrote:

I refuse to belive that there PC's that much worse than mine.Asiangodx2 wrote:
eh every time i read stuff like this i want to build a fast pc cuz i play with around 30 fps at the moment in Osu! lol :')
but then again i want to save up some money first too x)
