Is this computer worth to purchase?

[paulvasi8]

Would this computer be able to run games such as gta 5 on medium/high settings and is it worth it overall? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-I5-4460-3-4Ghz-Gaming-Pc-Computer-1Tb-8Gb-Nvidia-GTX-750TI-2GB-ZT3-/141196424827?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20dff6767b.

No GPU isnt good enough

Buy this and build it yourself or pay someone to build it for you.

Compared to the other prebuilts out there, it's actually not bad. I put it together on pcp and here's what the total came to if you built it yourself:

Add s/h and it should come to around the same price. It should be able to play GTA V around high settings.

hes right GPU would strugle on high. no room for upgrading, (mobo is like itx, no sli, only 2 dimms for RAM) basily bare minume pc i5, 750 ,case and HDD mobo is NOT noteworthy.

GPU is your weakness in your build perhaps a GTX960 would be better and not cost too much more. A 8GB RAM kit (2 X4) is the way to go not 1x 8GB stick. As long as the 1TB drive is not a Green drive that should be fine. The motherboard is a entry level business grade model perhaps a H97 would be better. It says there is no O/S on it do you have one? Other then that the system is fine.

Well, I'm not really planning to build it myself as I don't have the capability to do so, however could you please explain what you mean by ''entry level business grade model'' and also what difference does the 2x4 make? Also i've seen some videos on youtube of people playing gta 5 on medium/high with the same specs so why would the GPU not be capable? (Sorry in advance if I sound like a noob but i'm not exceptional with computers, I only know the basics.)

 

[paulvasi8]

Thanks everyone for the advice I will take it into consideration, I was just going to ask if you guys think the CPU can handle big-name games?

2x4 in ram is to enable dual channel. It improve ram performance a lot and almost with no extra moeny.
i5 can hold for a while, but I don't think very long since more game give more burden in cpu, such as GTA5 and assassin creed union.
Don't forget to get SSD. I just can't see medium spec pc without it anymore.
GPU better get at least R9-280 or GT-960. In game gpu is mostly the bottleneck part as long as your cpu already i5.

If you want, you could contact me and give me your store website and your max budget. We might be able to gather good parts within your budget.

If help please pick as best answer

For motherboard Chipsets the H81 is the entry level lowest cost with the minimum specs. Then the B85 is the entry level Business Chipset it has more the then H81 more geared for what business computers and workstations use. The the H87-H97 are for the home enthusiast I would get the H97 over the H87 since the H97 supports the Devils Canyon core models. Then the Q87 is the top business chipset with security features some business need. Then the top chipset is the Z87-Z97 the Z97 the newer and better model supporting the Devils Canyon CPUs.

Most motherboard support dual channel memory mode this require 2 sticks placed in 2 banks as the motherboard manual will list. This gives increase memory performance and increases system performance over all. All so it is better to have to RAM sticks in place of one so if one stick goes bad you can still use your computer until you replace it.

The GPU you selected is above an entry an around a mid-level gaming GPU this is the target Nvidia has for this GPU chip and how it performs. If you want better GPU performance get a model with more cuda cores like the GTX960.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Is the amd radeon r9 270 2gb better than the 750ti? Also with the GTX960 do you think I would be able to run games on high?

The GTX 960 would be the better choice than both of those. Better would be the Radeon R9-280X if you can squeeze that into your budget.

G-unit, right as always. +1 to that.
