Dying Light The Beast is well optimized and runs well on modern hardware. However, it can become very intensive at higher resolutions, such as 1440p and 4K. The build we are suggesting massively improves over Techland’s recommended specs and will provide a fantastic gameplay experience. The hardware choices we made make this one of the fastest mid-range builds. It will be ample for almost anything you throw at it.

Note: We have omitted suggesting a monitor and peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, and a computer case, as these mainly depend on user preference. You will be requiring the mentioned peripherals to utilize this PC build. As for Windows, the trial version will get your setup running.

The CPU we opted for is the 14600KF, which offers incredible multi-threading performance for its price. It is more than 40% faster than the suggested 13400F by Techland. It is backed by a dual-channel DDR5 RAM kit from TeamGroup, running at 7200 MHz. We opted for this high-performance RAM kit because it boosts the processor’s gaming capabilities to a greater extent than regular 6000 MHz memory.

The motherboard is the MSI PRO Z790-A MAX, which offers an excellent VRM and overclocking capabilities. We opted for this board to ensure stability when running the high-performance memory alongside. The Peerless Assassin is a superb cooler to keep the 14600KF cool. Storage-wise, we opted for the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB, the fastest PCIe Gen 4 gaming SSD from the past.

The GPU is the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 XT, a mighty GPU easily capable of playing Dying Light The Beast at native 4K. If you choose to utilize upscaling, then the frame rate will increase significantly. The SMPS we opted for is the MSI MAG A750G. A capable 80+ Gold-rated 750W power supply, ensuring that your components receive proper power and run without the risk of failure.

If you believe you’ll need an upgrade in the near future, swap the CPU for a 14700K or even a 14900K. The suggested motherboard will be able to handle either CPU seamlessly. If you are changing the GPU for any reason, then you need to upgrade your SMPS to a higher wattage model.
