Can this gaming set up handle games such as Fifa 15 and gta 5 on highest settings? And is it worth £700 from a friend thanks
 
This is a MUCH better build, for the same price

This is a an advert on gumtree for £800 is this any better and is it worth it? Also I won't be buying parts etc I want a ready made pc so could you let me know if u could find one for the price

£800

Is this worth it and is it a good setup?
 


The rig wit the 7970 would not do very well with GTA 5 maxed out...
 


That's a better PC, but the deal is not, £800 is too much for what you get, especially as it's second hand from Gumtree. Trust me, build your own - it's so much easier than you think and for a first timer will take no longer than 2 hours to get it up and running. You also save HUNDREDS
 
okay can you find me a very high spec or at least high spec pc. Eg an already custom build one or a list of parts from pcpartpicker etc. My bufget is around £750 but I'll push to £800 MAX thanks
 
Does your budget include a monitor/keyboard/mouse/operating system? If not, then this is an insane build for the money, under your budget.

Wouldn't it do just fine? Do you know the benchmarks?
 


The OP wants to play with the highest settings... The 7970 doesn't have enough juice...
