How Will This Computer Handle Subnautica (I suck with specs)

Hey,

Sorry, but I really suck with Computer Specs. I've ordered a £999.99 Gaming PC from Amazon and am hoping it can handle Subnautica at 30 frames or above.

Here's a link to the PC: http://www.amazon.co.uk/VIBOX-Apache-Package-9XL-WarThunder/dp/B00JR9HA6M/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1428941197&sr=8-32&

I would just look at the required specs to play Subnautica, but like I said, I don't understand the half of it.
Thanks!

    You are good to go with that PC ;) Should easily handle more than 30 FPS.

    I see this comes without OS, just make sure you install a 64-bit OS or it won't run the game at all....

    Other than that it should fly through it.

    Aha, I know, I can't wait for it, it's so much better than my current system which runs Subnautica at 10 frames.

    Hm, Subnautica doesn't run on 32-bit systems? Well, I certainly didn't know that, thanks for letting me know! :smiley:

    Er ya a Radeon R9 280 and 32 GB of RAM well exceeds the recommended spec. Too bad they are still selling high-end PCs without SSDs though.

    How much is a good SSD?
    Do I need an SSD to run the PC?

    Of course you don't need an SSD - in fact, you don't need half the power that computer offers, but that doesn't mean it has no value. Going with an SSD instead of 32 GB of RAM (which you will likely never use half of) and a 2 TB hard drive would be noticeably faster for just about anything. Most notably, loading of stuff (like startup/programs/games/saved videos/etc) is about 10 times faster on an SSD.

    Yes, this should be able to run Subnautica well :) Next time though, ask us for recommendations - we can help save you money!

    Yep. Getting Windows 7 Professional because I despise Windows 8.
    I've never installed an OS before, mainly because I haven't had to, but when redeeming Windows 7 Professional it should give me a choice between 32-bit and 64-bit right?
