You will need a PC with a dedicated gpu. I would head to the PC building forum and ask them for help on finding you a PC that fits your needs. As for the controller, you can use it to play GTA IV but if you are using the lcpdfr mod it will be alot easier to use the keyboard. Not enough buttons on the 360 controller to control the mod and the game.

Just like what R3vo said you will need a computer with a good GPU. If you need a build just go over to the Building forum and fill out that form for what you need it for.

A moderator posting in the wrong forum, what a great influence.

He's talking about a PC Game, how is "PC Gaming" the wrong forum?

Read the post again kiddo.


He says he wants to try out a mod however he needs a pc and wants to know how to build one/what he should get.

Clearly, he's looking to get a pc build FOR the game.


Wrong section Famous, I'll move it. -.-

lol, kiddo.

He is asking what sort of Specs his PC would need, before he wastes his money(I assume) on a game his PC can't run, he isn't asking for an entire build.

What's your budget? Here's my build, it works like a charm

The thing is that it doesn't come with an OS.

Exactly! So he wants to know what GPU,CPU,RAM,MOBO,PSU, etc to build his pc.

Specs = Specifications which would be GPU,CPU,RAM,MOBO,PSU, etccc.


Come on now read it s-l-o-w-l-y.

I'm only going to try explain this one more time.

He isn't asking for a build, he already has a PC.

He has general questions about the game, A PC game(that is why he posted it in "PC gaming"), like, can he use his controller, what graphics card would he need(he already has one, making sure it can run the game).

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] are the required specs for the game, but you will want something better than that.

For the mod, there is an auto installer you can download that will automatically install it.


For the controller, if you have a wired you will just plug it in and it will auto install the software. For a wireless controller, you need a wireless receiver which can be found here [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
