Good gaming PC?

[braidenfarr]

Is this a good PC to start gaming on? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gaming-PC-Intel-i7-2600-3-8GHz-Sapphire-R9-290-X-16GB-DDR3-240GB-SSD-Z77-/162449662234?rmvSB=true

It's not horrible, but it will start showing it's age a bit in the graphics department. That's easily solved as the Cpu can support the fastest cards out today. For that price it's a good buy though. Remember, you will need an OS as well(keyboard/mouse/monitor and speakers too).

Looks good.

You're looking at another 150-200 for the OS, mouse and keyboard.

Yeah its pretty good for $300. Maybe $375 - 400 max. You will need to have or buy windows (another $90ish), a monitor ($100) a keyboard and mouse ($40) and speakers or headphones/earbuds (you probably already have)

So you'll be out ~$600 total.

Yup, you can use windows for free, you'll have to bear the "Windows is not activated" sign until you can get a legit copy.

What fps and settings do you think I could play games at with this PC? I'm looking at playing games like cs: go and g-mod to games like GTA 5 and Battlefield 1.

Hard to tell really, but assuming your resolution as 1080P I would predict:

CS: GO - Maxed Out - 150 FPS Average
Garry's mod - Maxed Out - 300 FPS Average
GTA 5 - High - 70 FPS Average
Battlefield 1 - High - 60 FPS Average
