Hello Community, I am trying to buy me a decent Gaming Rig
with my school money I am getting. Is it Reccommended that I
buy atleast a 6-Core or above to play popular games like
Far Cry 3 or CoD: Ghost Max Settings, or would one of the Computers
that i've linked above work? This is the Graphic Card that I Have
Currently, just wondering what PC I should put it in. I'm on a $600
Budget for PC, Since I already spent $200 on a Graphics Card.

Edit: Sorry, here is link to the Graphic Card i have.

I would definitively advice you to rather build it than buy any of those two prebuilt ones. For a lot of reasons. You can get better for the same price. The PSU in those two aren't going to support your card. They are overspending on some parts, and cheaping out on some other important parts. Here's what I would personally get for $500.

Wow, see i've never even heard of that site & the build is very good.
Thanks alot Seladon.

 

[Seladon-1370374]

No problem, I'm here for that, sir !
Remember to pick your solution.

 

[Cliq6789]

I just now sit down & got time to look at every piece in this Build you gave me.
I really love it & i doubt I could of found all of it myself. & Thank you again because
you just saved me some money & got better hardware than I was getting myself into.

So I should not have much of a problem with the Graphics card I have right?

 

[Seladon-1370374]

I don't think that you'll be able to run games on ultra settings, but at least high settings.
Any other questions, sir ?

 

[Cliq6789]

Yes Seladon, one thing. While I was laying down in bed last night I was thinking
this pcpricepicker website doesn't actually build the computer for you, if I ordered
every individual part from the build you gave me, could you estimate for me if I bought
the whole build on the 20th of this Month, how long would it take for the parts to get in
& one more question. I've never build a computer before, as far as putting a Graphics Card in
or PSU in i've done that it's not difficult at all. But when it comes to the Processor & Screwing
motherboard in the case i've never really done that. If I bought this build do you think I would be
able to put the computer together if i' haven't really had experience doing it? Or what would you recommend?

 

[Seladon-1370374]

It really is easy to do. If you're not sure about how to do it, just look at some Youtube videos about it. You can learn at that you need to know in about 20 or 30 minutes.
The time that it will take for the parts to get shipped depends on the distance that separates you and their closest warehouse. I'm about 700 kilometers away from the companies that I'm buying from, and it usually doesn't take more than two or three working days for everything to arrive.
