I'm running Eve just fine on dual core AMD Athlon 64 2.2 ghz, 2 G ddr2 ram, amd hd 7560 pci express 1gb video card on Linux Mint 17
I get around 35 fps on low settings and around 15 fps on high. No fleets battle it works well for exploration, missions or mining
Total computer cost.......under 120 $ :)........hmmmm I still have some pentium 3 mobo and processor laying around... I wonder.....

Ok so working on a budget for an Eve PC: Without going into details of exact components (you'll figure those out quickly if you're au fait with PC building), I'd recommend the following:
Focus your spend on processor, motherboard and RAM.
Processor: go cheap but powerful. AMD does much better budget offerings than Intel, while still offering huge processing power.
Motherboard: Mid range, make sure it supports 16x PCIE. Don't overspend on it: even value motherboards tend to be well equipped.
GPU: go cheap. This is where you can upgrade later if you want to play much more than EVE. I'm not going to recommend a particular one here because I feel it would be better to hear of other people's experiences with cheap cards. A further recommendation is to check out the energy efficiency of the cards, particularly when idle (people often forget this expense). From my experience, Nvidia tend to be better in this offering.
RAM: 8Gb should be perfect for you and again can be added to later, if required.
HDD: 1Tb standard. Don't bother with SSD for now.
Consider getting a CPU, MB and RAM combo like this one:
CPU, MB, RAM Bundle
Summary: the aim of a setup like this one is to maximise the core power of your PC while cutting out the unnecessary 'bling'. It will run what you need perfectly for now and upgrading will simply be a process of changing the GPU and possibly adding RAM if you feel you need it.
The rationale of this is that GPU's are advancing markedly faster than CPU's - it will inevitably be the quickest outdated component of any PC. In addition changing a CPU often means changing the motherboard, which is an extra expense (and work).
I hope, perhaps, some of this is helpful to you. Good luck with your build, whatever you decide! |

One... Why So much hate on AMD... I have never had any issue with mine.. Hell the first one i ever owned still works..?
I run
AMD 6300 Black Edition
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
16GB RipJaw X
Kingston 120 GB Solid State
WD Blue 1 TB Drive
ASRock 970 Extreme 3 MB
3 Geforce 9800 GT
Corsair 1000w Rm Series
-SO Yeah... I like AMD and they are cheap as hell for good results
-My Graphics cards are old but for some reason I cant seem to kill them.. With three of them running I can play 18 clients on high settings getting 80 fps.. I was in BR and was octaboxing with no problems still getting like 60 fps well trying eve was in slow-mo but my PC worked fine. ( I Run the 1Gb Version )
Motherboard is still a little old but it hasent become a bottleneck yet.
SS Drive is a must for any gamer these days
But this whole setup aside from the extras I have (5 Monitors) and Liquid cooling everything is a like $700 Build and can run EVE like a boss..
Oh and AMD For life |

Just saying. overkill > then everything else. If you play EVE you always do pvp or want to engage in pvp with the biggest amount of overkill that is possible, well seeing on the KM's So that is how a rig that you play EVE on should act as well, one can not have enough overkill to play games on it, it also gives devs more room to improve PC games instead dumbing them down for commodore 64 versions, like we all know PC games suffer alot because the games are way to dumbed down for a wider audience and not to scare console players that PC is > then concole so better have overkill as much as you can \o/ |

This is easily done.
Treason never prospers. What is the reason?
Why, if it prospers, none dare call it "treason."

Unless money is no object I'd consider i5 over i7. There are some good CPUs out there with fantastic over-clocking options. Look out for an i5 on a Z87 or Z97 chipset board, which both have over-clocking options.

i3-4150, 120$. I'm pretty sure eve doesn't use more than 1 core so a dual core processor is the way to go. r7 260x 120$. I only have 1 account and run it on max except for anti-aliasing. Jita undock can be laggy, otherwise I have had no slowdowns.
You could get the older i3-4130 for $80. A gt-730 for 50$ and still probably run eve on med-high. |

Looking for advice for an EVE-Build pc. I know how to build a PC, just not sure on which are the best parts for the job. DonGÇÖt wanna spend too much and go overkill GÇô but equally donGÇÖt wanna spend to little and get stuck with something not powerful enough and not upgradable.
IGÇÖd like the PC to be able to run 3-4 accounts, at quality optimal, and not drag in normal use. Besides that, just normal Office 10 and browsing. No other hi-spec gaming.
Can anyone recommend combinations of m-Boards, CPU, quantity of RAM, cases, and power units that are good? Would probably like to include a dvd or bluray writer so a few connectors.
Any links and suggestions please? Brands to go for, and avoid maybe? Aiming somewhere imbetween 500-1000 for the entire build (including the stuff not mentioned above).
4 clients?
This is what I use.
Seriously though, EVE is great in that it's relatively 'lightweight' compared to other games, On my crappy "damn near Commodore 64" set up I can run 4 clients with normal graphics with no slow down.
