Build this at Create PCs →What LEGO City Undercover actually demands from your PC
Steam's recommended spec for LEGO City Undercover is GeForce GTX 660 (2048 MB), Radeon HD 7850 (2048 MB) with 4GB RAM and a Intel Core i7-950 (4 * 3000). That spec was written for the WB Games team's internal "minimum acceptable" target, not for a buyer in 2026 planning to keep this PC for the next four years.
What makes LEGO City Undercover more demanding than its spec sheet suggests: late-game CPU load. We've factored this into the tier picks above.
CPU-bound moments: LEGO City Undercover drops frames during specific high-load scenarios more than its average framerate suggests. Invest in CPU single-thread performance — the Ryzen 7800X3D and 9800X3D are particularly strong here.
What you can skip vs what matters
- Worth spending on: GPU first, then a fast NVMe SSD (most modern games benefit from sub-3000MB/s sustained reads), then RAM at the tier amount.
- Worth skipping at this budget: RGB lighting, exotic cooling, brand-name PSUs above 850W (unless you're building enthusiast tier), and motherboards with more than 4 M.2 slots.
- Don't compromise on: The PSU. A reliable 750W gold-rated unit will outlast two GPU upgrades.
