Hello,
I currently would like to buy my girlfriend her first gaming PC. I have not had mine long enough to know how to build one myself (my friends helped me do it last summer).
Anyways, I'm using eCollegePC.com because I heard they don't overcharge you as much as other sites. I was wondering if this AMD gaming PC could play games like The Sims 3 and most indie Steam games like The Binding of Isaac. I didn't include a monitor or speakers in the list because I plan to use an HDMI cable to hook the PC up to the large TV in my bedroom. I would GREATLY appreciate any help before I do anything stupid. So, see below for the proposed build ($907 on their website):
AMD Gaming Series Configurator:
CPU: AMD A10-7700K Kaveri 3.8GHz Quad-Core CPU Radeon R7 GPU, AMD Copper Heatsink and Fan Included
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H (AMD A88X, HDMI, DVI, PCI-E, 6xSATA, 4xDDR3)
RAM: 8GB (4GBx2) PC3 12800 DDR3 1600Mhz Memory Lifetime Warranty
HARD DRIVE: 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache SATA3 6Gbps Western Digital Blue
GRAPHICS CARD: 2GB ATI Radeon R7 260X GDDR5 PCI-E DVI/HDMI (Major Brand)
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (Includes DVD + COA)
CASE: Apevia Black/Blue X-Dreamer 4 (4 5.25, 5 3.5) 5 Fans, Audio/USB 3.0
POWER SUPPLY: 600watt Corsair CX600 V2 80 PLUS CERTIFIED
NETWORKING: Onboard 1Gbit LAN included... And ASUS USB-N10 Wireless B/G/N USB Adapter 150Mbps
SOUND: Onboard HD 7.1 Sound included
CARD READER (what is this? It says it's $9): Internal All in 1 Card Reader
FANS: 2x 120mm Case Fans
PLEASE help me decide if this is sufficient for my girlfriend's Sim's and indie game habits! :] I really want to get this for her birthday. How much would I be overpaying? THANK YOU ver much in advance!!!
