Recommended PCs for NBA 2K?

[kxw7340]

Hey y'all,

With the news that NBA 2K25 will be next-gen on PC, I decided it is only right to make the jump to PC given the amazing mods that I can only imagine will be available.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good gaming PC that can run this game and won't break the bank? I just want to be able to play NBA 2K25 smoothly without any crashes while also hooking it up to my 4K tv. I tried playing 2K years ago on my old PC but eventually bugs and frequent crashes made it unplayable.

If anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

The Steam page ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/2878980 ) isn't live yet, so we don't know what the specs are, but I don't think 2K is anything special. Just Google around or look at Reddit for recent gaming PC recommendations.

Thanks to the OP for making this thread. I currently have an entry level Gaming PC and I have the minimum specs to run the game. But, I want to run this and Madden 25 on high/ultra while enjoying all of the great mods these guys do. So, any recommendations on graphics cards, processors etc would be greatly appreciated.
