How Good Is this PC?

[Cameron_30]

I've been looking at a prebuilt computer from bestbuy and I was wondering the preformance of it for games like Battlefield 4, Rust, DayZ Standalone, and the Division. If I bought this computer I'm gonna change the video card to this one ZOTAC GeForce GT 730 Zone Edition 2GB DDR3 PCI-E Video Card. How well can this preform my games? (Do you think I'll get high fps on good settings?) Heres the PC - http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/asus-asus-m32bf-desktop-pc-brushed-grey-amd-a10-7800-2tb-hdd-12gb-ram-r7-graphics-windows-10-m32bf-bs01-cb/10394140.aspx?path=61271d810bd4928689bc552b763c5e4een02

Well, you didn't tell us anything about the PC, so it's hard to tell. However, given that you want to change the video card *to* a very low-end GT 730, I can't imagine the prebuilt is very good.

Which one from BB? And what is your total budget for a computer and graphics card?

The GT 730 is a very low end card that I doubt will run those games smoothly even at a lower resolution.

You could build a system for around the same price (prebuilt & GT 730) that would easily outperform that system.

I really wanna stay away from building a PC, is there a Prebuilt that is really good?

 

[WildCard999]

Not really unless your willing to spend a lot more then around $600. HP, Dell & other prebuilt manufacturers cut cost by putting in cheap parts such as motherboards and power supplies that are just powerful enough to run the system with its current parts.

Would the Build you linked me give me high fps on good settings on the games I talked about?

Well it would be a big improvement over that pre-built. The system I listed can handle those games around medium settings @1080 (or less) resolution keeping around 60 FPS.

I'm just scared to build a PC because what do I do when I get the parts and build the PC and it stops working and I only have a 30 day warranty? I've never built a PC before and I don't want to spend a ton of money and have it not work

Not very good. AMD has out the new AM4 APU A12-9000 series. The ASUS has no upgrade path where as the new AM4 systems could be upgrade with a future ZEN CPU. Give you have posted an OEM I'm guessing your not willing to try your hand at a build so ill give this option.

A GT 730 wouldn't even be much faster than the built in graphics on that system, waste of money to be honest. You would be far better off with at least a 750ti or a GTX 950.

Either way the games you would want to play would need to be be on the lower end of settings to be playable.

WildCard's suggestion is a WAY better use of your money.

 

[WildCard999]

It's 30 day's via the seller (Newegg/Amazon/etc) but the parts are typically warrantied around 2 years from the manufacturers like MSI or ASUS.

Saw that you started a new thread on a $700 system, the build I posted above you can change the i3 to a i5 & put in 16gb of RAM instead of 8gb.

I wouldn't bother with a SSD for now since they can be added in later and have little to no performance increases for games besides loading screens.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Cameron_30 : "Gaming PC Build?"

I've never built a Gaming PC or any PC before so I was looking for someone else's input on the matter. I'm looking to spend around $600 to around $700 max on a build for a gaming PC. I want to be able to run games like Battlefield 1 on high settings at 60 fps and the same with games like GTA5, Rust, and DayZ standalone. Could someone help me with a build that's good for this type of gaming?

Get windows separately, because lowering the tier of any of these components would cost you severly in performance.

Also, add an SSD when you can afford one. Doesn't affect FPS in games, but changes your general computing experience entirely.
