What kind of PC should I buy if I wanted to play RCT3 with high quality performance?
I like to play Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, a very complex 3D game with a lot of graphics and sounds. It will get choppy and slow very easily! What computer specs should my next PC have to run this game nicely with no problems (other than PC’s running Windows) and has a nice graphics card and speed.
Just an all-around nice PC that isnt over $1,000…..

I’d say a computer with Intel Core and a graphics card either an nvidia or an ati. You’ll also want about 4gb of ram and allocate the virtual memory to 4000mb. You’ll also want a Windows 7 or 8 home premium or above.
