Do you already have this or are you looking to buy it?


It is not very good. You could definitely do a lot better with your money.

 

[Cooper_3]

no i do not yet have it but it is a custom built pc brand new and i was thinking about buying it because he is a local dealer, what do you recommend?

 

[CTurbo]

Stay away from that build. Are you willing to build one yourself?

 

[Cooper_3]

yeh i wouldnt mind building my own but i dont know what parts do and dont fit together for a build, and my budget is about 600

Wow $600 AUD doesn't get you a whole lot, but this would be a lot better AND more reliable than that build above.

This one is better than your first because it's psu is not total garbage and it doesn't have a R7 240 which would be a complete waste of space.

 

[Cooper_3]

i could always just buy a graphics card and install it onto the pc though right, this is for the R7 240.

 

[CTurbo]

The R7 240 is not any better than the A8 or A10's integrated graphics. Even if it were given to you for free, I still wouldn't recommend using it.


But yes, you could potentially add a better video card to any of the PCs above. The A10 build I linked above would do very well at 720p and would still provide playable fps at 1080p on low-mid settings. Of course for your budget, you are NOT going to get a 1080p capable gaming system.

 

[Cooper_3]

alright so for the pc you built for me, how do you know if all the parts will fit together and what do you suggest i upgrade on it first when i get the money like a graphics card or something?

 

[CTurbo]

I'm 100% sure that all the parts are compatible together. Yes you can add a video card later when you get more money.

 

[Cooper_3]

alright well thanks very much for the help i truly do appreciate it and if i have any further questions ill just contact you via email, im gonna go and buy the parts for that pc.
