Best PC builds for FIFA 16, FIFA 17, and FIFA 18?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to pull the trigger on a new computer pretty soon, and I wanted to get some advice on what kind of specs I should be aiming for—specifically so I can run things smoothly without any hiccups (I'm talking high settings, full 3D match engines, massive player databases, etc.) for FIFA 16, FIFA 17, FIFA 18, and whatever future versions might come our way...

Do you think I could pick up a rig like that in the $90 - $120 range?

Just to clarify, I’m not interested in heavy hitters like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto V—my heart is set entirely on Sports Illustrated 🙂.

An Intel Core i5-8400 would probably be more than enough for you, honestly. You wouldn't even need a dedicated GPU in that case. Might actually be doable on that budget...

I’ve been looking everything over here, and I honestly think this could be the one 🙂 .

If only someone would just help me piece together the rest of the build—then everything would be absolutely perfect 🙂 .

The Intel Core i5-8400 is such a solid choice 🙂 !

Look, just grab that Intel Core i5-8400, the cheapest 2x4GB RAM kit you can find, and a B350 motherboard that’s already been flashed for that CPU—just make sure to ask whoever you're buying from if the BIOS is ready. Toss in a 120GB SSD, a decent 350W power supply, and whatever case fits what's left of your budget.

It really depends on where you're shopping, because honestly, there's no point in me dropping links to Best Buy if you're planning on picking everything up over in Canada. Just list out which stores you actually have access to and we can try to put something together that makes sense.

I’d probably grab something like this and just beef it up with a few extra parts:

Maybe add another 4GB of RAM, a 120GB SSD, and I guess I might pick up a new power supply too.

Honestly, I’m really looking forward to picking up a brand-new computer 🙂 . I have absolutely zero interest in buying anything used 🙂 . Since I already have a few decent pre-owned components lying around...

What’s the deal? You could at least provide some useful info since we aren't psychic here 😁

Also, take a look at those shops on eBay and see which one works for you so you can actually get everything sorted out

Walmart's got locations over in Kentucky, so that might be a solid bet... Intel Core i5-8400 261 miles.

No way, that’s almost $533, way too expensive. They have plenty of much cheaper options out there

He just needs to find one that actually works for his situation (city, state, etc.)
