Is this computer good for gaming? Games such as dayz? It doesnt say it but it also has an SSD

Other parts are good, but the video card is a bit on the weak side.

I mean, I get I wont be running it on ultra with 50 fps, but im looking for a medium/high with 40ish. Is that possible with this comp?

 

[NONE4YOUU]

Please don't get that, never buy a PC when on budget, build it yourself. That pc has an r9 270x, ew. The CPU Is OK, but yea. you should be able to run it max settings at 1600 x 900p (ps4 graphics)

CPU too strong and GPU too weak (unbalanced)

 

[lp231]

Can't expect a certain fps when the game is still bugged as it's still in the alpha stages. There is a YT showing a R9-270x, avg 40FPS
Here is a AMD build, but still with a GTX 970

I am too lazy to build my own computer. Too many variables and plus if something happens it's my fault. So overall don't get this computer? and if not can anybody recommend a pre built PC? Thanks!

who says ibuypowers warranty is any good? maybe if something goes wrong you have to pay for shipping costs, maybe things go wrong because companies like ibuypower have to cut corners somewhere.

 

[lmorphine]

Ofcourse. Building will always be cheaper but Ill manage to mess something up.

why do you say that?

 

[lmorphine]

I just dont trust myself enough to put together a 1000$ computer lol call me stupid but id rather pay the same for less and not have to deal with the hassle then to get more for my money and have to worry about all the parts and everything else. 🙁

Did you ever play with LEGOS growing up? then you could build a PC, lol seriously, well guide you step by step. It hurts me to know how much worse of a deal you get going pre-built.

 

[lmorphine]

Haha. My good friend is an electrical engineer and just built his own PC and he said he would come over and help and I am still nervous. There must be something wrong with me.

 

[lp231]

Build it yourself, there are plenty of YT videos that shows you how. In the end you will get a sense of accomplishment as well as learn something new.

with your buddy's help this is more than in your grasp, you get a much more quality build in the end in my opinon, I have no quotas to meet or anything when building my OWN PC, no need to rush, and I learned a TON while building.

 

[lmorphine]

haha ill review it with him. Just for the sake, any pre builts you would recommend?
