Are these good specs for gaming

[OutBackGamer]

Hi so recently I decide to buy a gaming computer it has been stress tested for 72h and is only 16 months old I was wondering if some one or people could help me with the specs as I've never used amd and don't know anything about amd the specs are
- CPU: AMD A10 7850K 3.7GHz with 4.0GHz Turbo mode
- CPU cooler: brand new AMD Waith CPU cooler
- GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB GDDR5 Gaming video card
- RAM: 16GB DDR3 gaming memory
- Storage: 256GB SSD 3TB HDD
- OS: Microsoft WIndows 10 Home 64 bit edition

I really just need help I payed about 900 for this and I was wondering if I got my money's worth and if it's a good computer to play AAA titles and other games like rust, Arma and dayz on a high setting

Was it worth 900$, this I wont address, but I will address below if you system will struggle with the listed games you mentioned.

Considering the following facts;

Rust Recommended Requirements
CPU: 3 GHz RAM: 16 GB
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980

I would say you will struggle to run this game at high settings. just because the GTX 980 is a more power full video card the your R9 380
but you probably will manage to run it at high settings just fine.


Arma III Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD FX 4300 or better
RAM: 6 GB
OS: Windows 7 / 8 / 10 (64bit)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series with 2 GB VRAM

this one should not be an issue

and
DayZ Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 or AMD Phenom II X4 940 or better
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7750 with 1 GB VRAM

this last one should also not be an issue

Thanks for that it's made it more understanding for me I haven't actually payed for the computer yet and still have to pick it up would you say there might be better a better deal out there for a better computer or would you say that this computer should be fine to use and play today's games

I honestly wouldn't advise anyone to pay anywhere near $900 for a build like this. It's on a dead platform, there's little reason to get an AMD APU *and* a discrete GPU and it's just simply way too much for the performance. Not to mention you're likely using 20% of your budget in storage.

well if your asking should you buy it, and if for the same amount of money can you get a lot better, the answer is an easy hell yeah

By the way Paladin, your avatar's been driving me nuts this week! With the weather being nice for open windows, some fruit flies have gotten into my office and I think you've literally tricked me about 20 times or so!

[OutBackGamer]

So I've got one last question if you guys don't mind answering sorry for being a harass but I've just seen this computer on amazon I get 4 years warranty with it for about 957$ that's with postage now what would you say about this computer I have heated some good feedback about company

I know of CyberpowerPC @ https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/page/MegaSpecial/ would I buy one on amazon... well I don't buy anything from amazon.. so that would be a no., but if you don't want to built your own pc, the specs aren't terrible, your paying for assembly basically.

Yea I've never actually owned or played on pc before so I'm all new to it I've done some research and I've got about $1000 to spend on a gaming pc and I'm a bit nervous trying to build my own as I feel I might not have the time todo so so Ive been trying to find a good prebuilt pc one that could play any game on medium graphics as quality doesn't bother me that much it's more performance for me

 

[The Paladin]

check cyberpower they have specials on their main page saw a 1050$ one that was newer hardware than the one on amazon and free delivery

Not really. I'm not a huge fan of the online custom prebuilts, but you should be getting *way* more than this for $900. Nothing about being new means you have to get poor value.

those are not bad specs... just curious what does WINDOWS 10 . FREE EDITION mean, cause if it means win 7/8 upgrade to windows 10, then it mean if you need to change your hdd you have to get a new o/s. something to consider if you end up with a machine you are not happy with...

 

[OutBackGamer]

Yea I'll be sure to ask but this computer is sale for about 600$ Is that a good price for it and could it play the games I'd like it to play??
