Post by: Teddy on June 18, 2016, 11:55:44 pm: Nah man, Kaze doesn't think you need that good of a graphics card. Kaze recommends http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-260 with 10/10 rating.

I would say for current it's a decent system but not much future proofing there. I'd say probably the following generation of games will not reach maximum settings. This includes Watch Dogs 2 and possibly Battlefield 1.

But simply put: yes, this will run most of these games.
Title: Re: Any PC expert here? Need help! =)
Post by: TiMoN on June 18, 2016, 11:56:34 pm: You'll be fine with medium to high settings on the upcoming games, unless they're unomptimized like trash.

Allow me to show some of the delightful features of Windows 10 through an ordinary copypasta;
I sexually Identify as Microsoft Windows 10. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over PCs dropping hotfixes on braindead users. People say to me that a person being Windows 10 is Impossible and Iâ€™m fucking retarded but I donâ€™t care, Iâ€™m beautiful. Iâ€™m having a plastic surgeon install Cortana, Windows App Store and a keylogger on my system. From now on I want you guys to call me â€œWindows Update 10.0.10586â€ and respect my right to update from above and update needlessly. If you canâ€™t accept me youâ€™re a windowphobe and need to check your OS privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

The answer is entirely upto you, I wouldn't download Windows 10 since the only purpose of it is to be able to play Quantum Break.

Post by: Hevar. on June 19, 2016, 11:31:18 pm: Well...i didn't download it.....they force me to upgrade, suddenly i see my PC got Windows 10 :(

Post by: FARQ3X on June 20, 2016, 12:05:56 am: To be honest I suggest you buy a secondhand GPU if you want eye candy like a 970 for cheap or wait for 1070 qnd your golden. Reason being its a 2gb 960 :(

is 960 bad?
Title: Re: Any PC expert here? Need help! =)
Post by: Julio. on June 20, 2016, 11:50:52 am: 960 is a great balance of price/performance and performs exceptionally well in 1080p gaming or below.

If you're seriously thinking about gaming with a 4k screen then you might want to upgrade, otherwise, don't worry about it!

960 is by far one of the best bang for your buck cards on the market. But the 2gb Variant is heldback by the Vram. Also I suggest searching around for GPUs. You can get a R9 280x, HD 7970, R9 290 under â‚¬200 easy. Or you can save up a little and go for 1070 as it will absolutely destroy everything I mentioned as its on par with Titan X performance.

I feel like the 480 is just a start and we should wait for the 490

This is why Alienware is still in business. Anyways, what's your budget as of now? If you have one, you can check this (http://www.logicalincrements.com/) page out to see what build lands in your budget range.

If budget is no issue then I guess for complete destruction (in gaming) this will do: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/nfgRBP
Or if you dont want to buy a monitor (I assume you have 1080p) replace that 1080 with a 980ti which you can get for $420

Then get a GTX 980 or 980ti cuz 1070 and 1080 are waaaaaaaay overpowered. U will get any FPS on 980ti on max settings so if you got â‚¬400 go for it and sell the 960 to someone

Wrong. 1070 is about the same as a 980Ti. If you can get a 1070 for about the same price of a 980Ti, there isn't any reason to go with the older generation card. Some factory overclocked 980Ti cards are faster than the 1070, but the 1070 overclocking potential is pretty serious, so once factory overclocked 1070's start rolling out (or maybe they already did, haven't checked) the 980Ti will be practically useless for new buyers.

@Hevar.
You got pretty much scammed with that prebuilt, but switching just the GPU should give you much better performance, the other parts are decent. You might want to take a look at changing the PSU too, if it's a cheap/weak model.
Title: Re: Any PC expert here? Need help! =)
Post by: Rusty on June 22, 2016, 04:23:18 pm: 980Ti and the 1070 are roughly around the same price give or take.

Definitely not. Build it yourself save money .
Title: Re: Any PC expert here? Need help! =)
Post by: rid on June 23, 2016, 12:06:41 am: Just because you have money it doesn't mean you have to be stupid with it. Do yourself a favor and do NOT get any pre-built computer.
Many stores will assemble the computer for you for a minimal fee compared to prebuilts - in the end you don't have to do anything and you get a better computer for the same amount of money.

To be honest I haven't even activated it, I installed it from the disc I had from my old computer and couldn't be bothered buying a new key since I can just update to Windows 10 for free, something which I have been debating doing ever since I built this computer, still not sure as to wether Windows 10 is shit or not.

All of Windows 10's spyware has been backported to 7. This argument is retarded. If you care about spying, you shouldn't be on Windows at all.
