I just spent $200 on a new CPU for Fallout 4.

That is my setup as well, i5-3570k/GTX 970/8GB RAM.

I upgraded my PS4 with an SSHD if that counts.

I upgraded from a G73jh that lasted for almost five years of quality gaming to a http://us.msi.com/product/nb/GT72-Dominator-Pro-GTX-980M.html#hero-specification&sku_no=325 the day after Christmas last year. I'm hoping to see it play most if not all of this console generation's ports ...especially Bethesda's ...and without having to upgrade the GPU.

I have 16gb of RAM, when I built my machine Newegg had a buy one get one deal on 8 gig sticks of Corsair Vengeance.

I think our setups will do pretty well. Some graphics mods might make what I have cry, but I'm not going to bother with that kind of thing until I upgrade in anoother year or two.

Personally, I think the graphics in Fallout 4 don't require any user made enhancements. Just as long as I can push the view distance on everything up I'll be good. Though, that will probably be more CPU intensive then we give credit for. We may need to overclock our CPUs, perhaps up to 3.8GHz, to not feel the frame rate drop.

True. But they will come out and I know myself, if I can run them I'll use them.

I already have my CPU clocked to 4.2 so I am good to go there.

No.

I can clock my 4930K up to a ridiculous 4.9 GHz (cooling not withstanding). The more important issue here is my "L3 Cache 12 MB" vs the 4790's "L3 Cache 8 MB".
