What Gaming PC Do We Recommend To Play System Shock?

With System Shock being a remake of such an old game, it doesn’t require you to have an over-the-top gaming PC. The necessary CPUs are all relatively old at this point, and the same goes for the graphics cards mostly. With that in mind, a $500 budget gaming PC build will certainly have this game up and running, though you might want to spend a bit more to get recommended settings.

When it comes to pre-built PCs, you always end up spending a bit more. Even so, a $600 investment should be enough to get the game in a playable state at 1080p. That said, if you want to have a better experience, moving the budget up to $800 will definitely ensure that is possible for you.
