Hey there, chaps.
Wanted to purchase a new PC (I'll probably get it by the end of this year). Below are the specifications that seemed within my price range, wanted to know if they're adequate, or do I have to go for an upgrade on some parts to get reasonable performance (not the best, will settle for moderate) (NOTE: This is a branded AMD PC, by CyberPowerGaming, it'll be cheaper and there are no shops anywhere near where I could actually seek advice on building a CPU or actually purchase parts, and not having any experience whatsoever, don't wanna build one online)
AMD FX-4350 CPU
8GB DDR3/1600Mhz ram
AMD HD7770 1GB Video
ASUS M5A78LM USB3SATA3 MB
1 TB SATA-3 hard drive
24x Double DVD
Coolermaster Elite 430 case
Is the above adequate for running the recent stuff, or would I be hard-pressed playing video games and have to upgrade it very near in the future?

What is your budget...
-
Around £600, this one is gonna cost me about 510 and will have to purchase a new HD LCD as well, so might stretch it to 700.
-
when u look for old cheap but performant graphic cards , i would suggest teh ATI 5870
here u have a nice overview [ your card is on 50th, the 5870 on 32th

If you can, make the Pc yourself.. It's less expensive and you can get better stuff.

Depends where you live.

Thanks for the input, everyone. And umm...

You definitly need to upgrade it..
-
Did everyone answer your questions satisfactorily?
-
That would most certainly run the newer games, but not with highest settings. But 700 for that PC with a monitor? I call it a rip-off (unless you have included in an operating system)
About the need to upgrade, yes, in a year or two I see you having the need to upgrade atleast the GPU, which when the CPU would become a bottleneck and there we go with upgrading the whole set :D

Go meet Ethan. He made a 650 pound PC. Core i7 3770K GTX 660 8 gigs ram.
Runs every game man.

thought about that, seems i'll need to get one with slightly better requirements :v:
results were quite underwhelming in the benchmark tests

seems like a pretty good deal
i could go for a radeon r7 260x (40 pounds cheaper than the 660) and a amd fx 6300 instead. 8gb ram and the os thrown in for good measure

Remember, you get what you pay for! So never go for something low which wont handle tomorrow's games.. :)
