Is this a Good Gaming PC?

[iCallumUK]

I am getting a new PC soon and these are the Specs ;
- AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition @3.4GHz
- Corsair 4GB 1333MHz CL9 RAM
- XFX Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5

I think this is a Good PC for my £300 Budget ( The total is about £302 ) what do You guys think? Will it run most Games on Medium to High?

Thanks for any replies,
Callum

Looks like a decent budget oriented build, I don't want to stretch your budget (if that's what you can spend then that is what you should spend) but if you happen to have an extra 20 U.S dollars (I do not know the exchange rate) perhaps see if you can stretch for the 7770. I personally use the 7770 and I built a pc for my friend with the 7750. The difference is actually quite high, I run just about every game on high settings (some of the easier ones even on ultra) while he is limited to medium on most games sometimes even dropping lower.

However if you can not stretch out that extra money (understandably) the 7750 is actually a pretty decent card especially with the newer drivers, you should see medium settings on MOST games, but those high settings may become a stretch.

Best of luck with your build!

thanks for the answer, If I can get enough money together then I may choose to get the 7770. What brand would You recommend though? I have heard good things about sapphire but I also know that asus are very reliable, the sapphire cards usually cost about £15 ($20) less though. Which would you recommend. I would go with the sapphire myself

So my friends 7750 is a sapphire and like i said he has had no issues yet (other then the card itself being slower as i had said). My 7770 is an HiS and I am quite happy with mine as well, and asus does have a great reputation. So with all that said I would say go for whichever one you can get the cheapest.

As you had said chances are you can find the sapphire the cheapest. Although at least here in the U.S the HiS none Ghz addition is about the same as the sapphire.

thanks for the fast reply I think I'll go for the sapphire 7770, or maybe the HiS if I can find it for quite a bit cheaper. Thanks for the help😀 this is my first build aswell btw, im only 15 and im hoping to become very experienced with building pc's. Thanks again
