I have a quad core i5 @3.1 Ghz, 16Gb ram, Motherboard has built in HDMI, will i run Sim Settlements okay?
Would this graphics card work?
The best bet would be if it's possible to save up for a time then do a custom build depending on how much can reasonably be saved in what you would consider to be a reasonable timeframe. I would keep the Xbox in the meantime while saving up. X1 has limitations but is nice to have for while waiting. I moved from Xbox One to PC and I think I saved up for 6 months or maybe a bit more then sold the Xbox at the end to get the last thing a bit sooner which was a monitor. After playing Sim Settlements on the Xbox for maybe 1 or 2 months I'd decided I was 100% definitely building a PC for it.Im half way homeless over here haha to broke for that 1, i was gonna sell my xbox one and get a graphics card for $100 or less :/
I second this. On GTX 1080 I still can run out of VRAM. Depending on how complex the Sim Settlements city plans in use, even on lower graphics settings you might experience FPS drops/crashes. I'm actually currently planning an upgrade.Personally, for myself, I wouldn't go less than 8gb (I run ultra 1080ti and with full sims will still take a fps hit)... Phil @Phil_T_Casual may have a better handle... 2gb is too low in my opinion...

This is what I use, it is incredible!The only thing I can think of is the built in motherboard graphics - never had good results with those except in low detail play... otherwise, 4 core with 16gb is good I think. An SDD will be a godsend if you plan on doing a lot of downloads and installs...
Also, starting off fresh I cannot recommend

enough... fresh install of everything, setup with the better textures - I had a potatoe and this help was incredible... but alas, I had to get a new computer. And still use it!
It most likely will not be able to run the game. I googled "i5 @ 3.1Ghz" and it gave me i5 2400 so I'm reasonably sure that is what it is. The latest Intel integrated graphics that come with the i7s like 8700k/9700k is just able to get 25/30fps with lowered settings on 720p with no mods.This is my onboard specs
The problem with that is that the CPU manufacturers lock the CPUs to specific motherboards so you would only be able to have Intel 2000 series, maybe 3000 series too but those are quite old. The LGA1155 is physical compatibility but there is also chipset compatibility and memory compatibility to taken into account. This site explains a little bit more about it: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/tell-cpu-work-motherboard-61664.htmlmother board because its 1155 socket
A GTX1050ti could be alright, I would at least ensure it's the 4GB model and not the 2GB one. You might also want to wait since the CPU is likely inadequate for FO4.GTX 1050ti $200 (No desire for 4k res) and 1Tb ssd $115 (dedicated only to fallout) on Tuesday
Which games for the 120fps/90fps? I would assume Fallout 4 but normally we can't really run Fallout 4 above 60fps due to the physics being tied to FPS, unless there is a Havok Fix made for Fallout 4 similar to the Havok Fix for Skyrim Special Edition.WD Ssd for sure and thanks more info keeps helping and its the 4gb gpu, i was watching videos and if I keep medium res settings i should be okay, they were running i5 with it too which was pretty cool to watch all diff res and fps. Low was at 120 fps, medium was at 90 fps, with each core running about 60%.
