Is this PC any good? Need suggestions…
August 7th, 2016
By playing games I mean, Dark Souls in the highest settings, bf3 in high settings etc. + recording them at the same time.
Here is the PC:

As you can see there is no grahpics crad included …

Graphics card is included GT610 but it’s not good enough, building your own gaming PC will be more better and cheaper

I understand that but I honestly don’t have the time to build one. Would it be any good for the games I mentioned?
you’d be disappointed how bad that videocard is.. try this one. it’s easy to change it.. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_odkw=hd7770&_osacat=175673&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313&_nkw=hd7750&_sacat=175673
The computer shop where I live will build your PC for around $100 + the parts. It might still be better than buying a prebuilt one.

Unfortunately my ultimate budget is $600. However would the specifications suit a lot of video rendering? I currently use my white macbook which renders a 5 min video in about 45 mins which sucks…
Yeah I was watching a couple of custom made pc videos and it’s dirt cheap but as it stands, I have neither the time nor the eventual ability to put one together.
simply said. if you wish to have a pc for gaming with minimal budget and run best games out there on max or near max graphics. you will need to spend about 1000$ you are looking for i5 – 3570k
Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler (this cooler beats out even the h100 cooler by corsair – which is around 40 dollars more expensive)
you can get a motherboard for around 150 -z77 chip if you wish to overclock
-ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 190$
ram 8gb is more than enough for gaming – vengeance / ripjaw (around 40-60)
then you’ve got VideoCard which is one of the other more important parts If you are on lower budget go with something like 7870 radeon but better if you can afford 7950 (sorry i like the amd cards)
PSU you can do with 650-700watt – you could get around 100$ (or cheaper if you wish to keep budget lower)
it doesnt take long to build, even when you dont know much 1-2 hours max with reading instructions. 6hours if drinking beers and watching tv;)
what I listed above will come to about 1000$ after hdd and other stuff even with the 7950 gpu if you have budget for it, you wont be dissapointed. Prebuilt systems usually wont stand a chance against custom spec computers (unless there is a huge price drop for clearance but that doesnt happen when we need it )

I completely agree with you and I understand the benefits of building a custom PC in fact I used to do it a lot back the in the day, but I’m at a very continual point right now in my studies and cannot spend time ogling at computer parts, so I have to go with a pre-built PC under $600… any suggestions?
you actually don’t need a lot of time to build a custom pc. If you have all the parts arrived, it shouldn’t take more than 45-60 minutes to assemble a pc.

Completely true however, ordering the separate parts may take weeks, time which I do not have as school is starting in a week and cannot afford to spend time waiting for orders whilst school is on, thus my only option is to buy a pre-built PC that performs moderately well.

I don’t think you would have to wait for weeks, from my experience it just takes around 3-4 days to deliver.
You could also walk into a computer store and buy the parts, you’ll get them all in one place!
We are all recommending you to build one since it is more cost effective, gives you more power and it is generally fun building them yourself!!
