i want to play apex with my specs

@Glacius_rebootFrom what I can tell, you meet the minimum and recommended system requirements.

If you're having issues in Apex with your current system, I would look into changing the in-game settings where I'd turn some of them down. It would be under "settings" -> "video".

Things such as shadow quality, (while good for visuals), can cause a system to slow down as there's more for it to process and things like ragdolls, (the animation played when someone dies, (or how you see them fall to the floor)), can be kept in the lowest setting as its not too important to see.

- Game Settings -

These are the video settings I use:

Note: Some settings may not be there for you, (or disabled), as it does go based off your system. For example, mine shows a setting for "NVidia Reflex", but I cannot change it. Your PC has a GForce graphics card, so you should be able to change it, (I'm not fully sure though). For other players, they might not even see this as an option at all.

- System & System Settings -

The system I have uses:

- AMD Ryzen  7 2700 Eight-Core Processor
- 200 GB SSD / 2TB HDD (Apex is installed on the HDD)

- 16 GB RAM

- Radeon RX 580 Series

Compared to yours:

- My CPU is a newer one than yours, being released on April 19th, 2018, while yours was released on July 1st, 2015
- SSD is typically better to use for gaming than a HDD, so you should be good here

- We both have 16 GB RAM
- As for the GPU, mine was released on April 18th, 2017, while yours was released on June 10, 2016

What you could upgrade:

- CPU

- SSD (If you want to)

- RAM (Wouldn't hurt to go up to 32GB)
- GPU

Keep in mind that anything you upgrade, (and I mean anything from the CPU to GPU), your motherboard has to be able to support it. If your motherboard doesn't support it, it won't run properly and it can cause a lot of issues. For example, motherboards released in 2010 or so aren't going to be able to support things from today as they weren't designed with those in mind. Another example, your motherboard might not be able to support my CPU and/or GPU. Its also important to make sure your CPU supports the GPU and so on.

Further things you could look into, would be the system's settings, and those would be ones relating to the system's drivers for the CPU, GPU, etc.

Since I have an AMD processor and graphics card, my PC came with AMD Radeon installed, (I don't exactly need it, but if I don't have it, I cannot play in VR, which is the main reason why I bought this PC back in 2019). AMD Radeon has its own settings that I had to enable, turn down, or turn off, before Apex was able to run smoothly. These settings related to things such as its own anti-aliasing, (which I had to turn off), and things like image sharpness, etc. I'm not sure what Intel uses, but look into what settings would be best for your setup and go from there.

- Summary -

- Update system drivers and try lower game settings

- Change system settings if you need to

- Upgrade parts of the PC if you need to, (while also making sure your motherboard and all of its components can support each other).

If you currently can run games like Minecraft, (Java / Bedrock / Modded), Sea of Thieves, Fortnite, Dead by Daylight, Grounded, Once Human, etc. with little to no issues, you can 100% run Apex with your current system. I can play these games on my system with no issues at all. Before I had changed my AMD Radeon settings, I was having issues in Apex while the other games had little to no impact.
