Gaming PC Help

[MrCarTuner]

I need help on buying a gaming pc with a budget. I have around $600 and want a pc that can run GTA V at a decent speed (40-50 fps). I've been looking at this one and I could use some professional opinions that know a lot about PCs

You should build one! (sorry, I had to say it 😉 )

I know I know I get that a lot but I do not have the experience to do that.

How good would this pc run games though? like GTA V and other big games. 😛

Neither did anyone who did it the first time - but the reality is that it is fun, quite easy, saves you money, and you get to pick exactly what you want!

Have friend or someone to do it on the cheap you can get alot more for your money and better build.... Also there are loads and loads of vids on youtube on how to build forums on the net. You owe it to yourself to build save money get a better build for gaming unless you speed a small fortune on a custume build your not going to get a real gaming machine on these bargin basement sites... As said above build your own system its very rewarding...

You might hit 60fps at 1080p on the lowest settings. Maybe. Seriously build one yourself. It's not hard. You don't need experience. Just do your research by watching a few "How-to" videos, research all the parts, and buy them. It's not difficult and it's worth the effort, if you'd like suggestions as to what parts to get, I'd be happy to help. If you are interested in that I would also need to know if you need a monitor, an OS, a mouse, a keyboard, etc.

Not that well at all, the graphics card is not very good, and it is 2 generations old.

Lowest settings on games, but should get playable framerates at lower resolutions.

If you consider building your own and don't need any peripherals and already have a way to get a hold of an OS, then this is the build I would suggest for $600, just felt you should have a reference if you decide to consider building your own. This build would max out GTA V and you'd still get 60fps at 1080p. Also if you do want to build your own check out logicalincrements.com
