buying a pc

[alexsno]

So I'm about to buy this pc.

I have a couple questions since I'm not very smart when it comes to computers.
Can this game run Runescape on max settings? Also, if I were to upgrade the GPU to a gtx 970 later, what kind of performance would I get on modern games?
Thank you to everyone that reads this and helps.

Alienware is good choice ^ ^

No, no they arent.
The build is decent.
Its not horribly priced, though it is running a low end H81 motherboard, a Z97 would be far favorable.
Quite a low wattage PSU.
Low end graphics card, an upgrade is desperately needed.

Overall, you should build your own system.

Yeah, it's a really poorly balanced system.

The CPU is perfect for a high end gaming system. The CPU can be overclocked.
The motherboard is for a low end system. The motherboard CAN'T overclock CPUs.
The RAM is alright.
The GPU is also low end.
The storage "looks" good, but it's quite possible the HDD is a slow 5400RPM, and we don't know the "quality" of the SSD.


For $750 you could easily build a vastly superior system. It's REALLY easy to build a computer:

With the prebuilt you'd still be throwing away like $90 graphic card.
