To whom it may concern:
My son is six, and really wants to start playing Minecraft. He is quite the little gamer, I bought him the Wii U last year, so I don't want to get him the xbox yet. Anyway, I figure it's a better value to buy him a PC to play the game and then he can learn about comps too. My budget is 550.00. I found this Asus at best buy for 450.00:
AMD A10-6700 Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon HD 8670D graphics
Ensures optimal computing performance.
8GB DDR3 memory
, expandable to 16GB.
Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive
4MB cache memory
1TB Serial ATA hard drive (7200 rpm)
AMD Radeon HD 8670D graphics
Feature shared video memory for lush visuals. HDMI and VGA (D-sub) outputs enable flexible connectivity.
6-in-1 media reader
Supports Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD-Picture Card and MultiMediaCard formats.
This seems like a good deal...Isn't the AMD A10 a really good CPU? My friend said the graphics card is low end. In case my son wants to play better games in the future should I buy a "gaming rig"?
I found this for arnd same price:
Avatar Gaming FX6161OC Desktop PC
AMD FX-Series Six-Core FX-6100 Processor 3.3 GHz (cache)
8GB DDR3, 1TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
24X DVDRW Internal DVD Drive, USB Mouse, USB Keyboard
Graphics Card: GeForce 610 1GB, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
350W Power Supply, 10/100/1000Mbps LAN
What is the better CPU?
Is it easy to change graphics card in Asus?
