Hey there, i got sick of getting lagged in towns etc, am not blaming the servers.
I decided to buy a computer thats going to run smoothly without ANY lag at all.

heres the specs.

Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5-2400 Quad Core (3.10GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics

Motherboard
ASUS® P8H61-M LE/USB3 (NEW REV 3.0): M-ATX, USB 3.0, SATA 3.0Gb/s

Memory (RAM)
4GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 2GB)

Graphics Card
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 - 2 DVI,HDMI,VGA - 3D Vision Ready

Memory - 1st Hard Disk
1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)

So i just wanted to ask if i would be able to play silkroad with this PC without lagging AT ALL.
and can play pvp, hunting etc without lagging. keeping the computer on for long times, like for 2 days stalling etc?

What do you think?

That is more than enough for SRO on full settings without PC lags.

But you will still have some server lags from time to time, sadly

Everything looks great ofc, pretty good system specs. I would only recommend on getting 6GB of ram, it would do much and the $ difference isn't noticeable. :)

can i suggest you take a peak on Nvidea Boards?, i really dont know if they are better than the asus you picked... but may be you can find something better...

you dont need a Super pc to leave your stall on for a few days... i do that in my own and it isnt that good. No DC.

Another thing that you should think of its you conexion... that will give you some lag if is not fast enough...

Last thing, how much you paid/will pay for that parts? [i supose you buy Power Source, new case and stuff.]

used to have 8GB and went to 4GB because I built another computer and haven't noticed a differance. Also do remember most games are 32bit applications (for example every one of my games go into my x86 program files folder automaticly)

The computer stated above is more then enough to run sro. But do remember detailed shadows and bloom are buggy and no matter how powerful the computer it will still lag and give reduced fps.
