New to this, is this spec good for GTA 5 + mods?

[VlaNso]

To paraphrase what in the post Martin36 linked to:

• What is your MAX budget
• What monitor (make & model or resolution and refresh rate)
• Any other uses than gaming
• Please add the config link and price to your post (instructions in the linked post above)

Also, why the need for 2 BD drives?

At the moment, a fairly basic 1080p build is coming in at £1500+, but if your expectations are that a GT1030 is sufficient, then you may be happy with a current gen AMD build with an iGPU (Radeon 780M in the 8700G is about GTX1060 level).

Please don't order that build as you have specced it. It's all over the shop. Normally we are trying to guide people to spend a bit more on the case but I think this looks like the only premium part you have selected.
