Best PC for GTA V / GTA Online in 2026

Reviewed 12 August 2026 · FixFix Labs build desk

— The short answer

GTA V Enhanced (2025) raised the bar with ray tracing and DLSS/FSR, and now requires an SSD and recommends an RTX 3060-class GPU. For smooth 1440p high settings target an RTX 4060 Ti and 16GB+ RAM. A well-rounded mid-range build handles it comfortably. A FixFixLabs build starts around £900.

What actually matters for GTA V / GTA Online

The Enhanced edition modernised GTA V with ray tracing and upscaling, lifting requirements — an SSD is now required and an RTX 3060-class GPU recommended. For comfortable 1440p high settings an RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB+ RAM is the balanced target. Note this differs from a dedicated FiveM RP build, which is more single-core CPU-led.

— Build questions

GTA V / GTA Online PC — frequently asked questions

What changed with GTA V Enhanced?

The 2025 Enhanced edition added ray tracing and DLSS/FSR upscaling and lifted the requirements — an SSD is now required and an RTX 3060-class graphics card is recommended.

What GPU do I need for 1440p?

An RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB+ system RAM gives smooth 1440p high settings. Stronger cards are only necessary if you want ray tracing at 4K.

Is this the same build I'd want for FiveM?

Not quite. FiveM roleplay servers are far more single-core CPU-led because of custom asset streaming and scripts — see our FiveM guide for that spec.

Can you build a GTA V PC in the UK?

Yes. FixFixLabs specs, builds and warranties custom machines in the UK. Tell us your budget, resolution and whether you play GTA Online or FiveM, and we'll return an itemised parts list within 24 hours.
